Hi. My application went in in May 2019. Followed quickly by the online assessment. My actual assessment took place at the end of July. Found out within a couple of days I had passed.
I then had a bit of a wait for an interview slot (some people get them straight away), had my interview at the start of October. Found out I was successful only 2 days after the interview, and a provisional start date was given just over a week later.
Had to then wait until the start of December for a medical. Once that was done, it all suddenly moved incredibly quickly...contracts, paperwork, uniform fittings etc. So the whole process took 7 months for me. However, I have a friend who went through it all in under 2 months.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
