    No medical. I think that only takes place when they intend on offering you a job.

    Cheers! It's a relief to have completed the process because I don't think my heart could take much more! :lol: I'm just hoping now it's not a two year wait to get in like some people have experienced with other TOC's but, with everything that's going on at the moment you can almost guarantee...

    I was literally on my phone when the email came through to say I'd been moved onto the next stage so booked on straight away. She said there was only one day left next week, so I was quite fortunate I was on my phone at the precise time it was sent through.

    It's really kicking on now with how quickly they're moving people on. It's interesting that they're using both interviews or assessments to progress people through to the next stage after the initial sift. Perhaps it's more efficient for them to use both methods at the same time, especially...

    Oh right. Well, hopefully all goes well this time and they'll let you know the outcome soon. Initially it was a good 4 months or so waiting to hear anything but then after that, it's all flown by pretty quick so far to be fair.

    Cheers, they were done in Chester. Where are you applying? Did you apply in March or part of the later recruitment drive?

    Bet you're glad it's done and you can relax a little now. How do you feel it all went and where are you applying for if you don't mind me asking?

    Only last week so thankfully they were very quick in getting back to me. I'm also booked in for stage 2 in Cardiff so no time to relax! I haven't as yet had any correspondence but I assume the tests are based at Cardiff central somewhere? Hope so anyway as I've already booked my hotel as I'm...

    Haha I know! It's crazy how many people apply! Good luck to everyone doing their stage 1 assessments this week and to those who have already completed them. Hopefully it won't be too long before finding out the results and then (hopefully) it's on to panicking about the assessments in Cardiff...

    No worries. Good luck on your assessments too! No doubt you'll be like me and go from being obsessed with preparation for your tests, to then doing the obligatory email refresh every 2 minutes after completing them! Haha.

    No MMI mate. She also informed us that over 10000 applications have been received during this campaign! o_O

    The practice material is enough I'd say to get your mind in sync with the kind of tests you do on the day......I hope. I'm obviously not sure if I've passed and won't find out till late next week I think. The group bourdon practice test on this site helped alot I felt. Going in cold without any...

    What's the general opinion of people who have completed their stage 1 assessments and how they think it all went? I think I could've powered a small village from the nervous energy I was generating! Stressful doesn't cover it! :lol:

    Hi, are you talking about recruitment from a different occasion other than march this year? If so, then they've flown through that after a slow start! As far as I'm aware, I don't think anyone's posted on this thread about going all the way through and being offered a position, but that's...

    Thanks for the replies. So at least I don't sound too far off in terms of how many lines I'm getting through, and also complete perfection isn't a necessity!
