Hi Jordan.
We generally were finished well before 12 on a Friday. I was in the elmbank for the duration of my training but 9 weeks of it was during lockdown so restaurant etc was closed in the last two weeks the restaurant opened with a limited menu, 4-5 starters 3 mains and half a dozen...
That happened to me after I had accepted the future opportunities role. The email automatically updated to my new (and at the time unacessible) work email

The new (10 week course) is 2 observations (weeks 4 and 8) and 2 written papers (weeks 6 and 10) the week 6 paper is 2hrs 40 mins total with a max of 40mins for the multiple choice section I believe there are 161 marks available in total and a 75% pass mark.
The tests are done when you apply for the first job, and scores held so you don't need to complete them every time you apply for another position.
They are a link on the invite to test email which aren't particularly obvious if I remember correctly
I have joining instructions and an overview of what topics will be covered in each morning or afternoon, I think class size has been halved but that is all I know for now
