Yeh they ask about financial history and spent criminal convictions etc. basically everything needs declared. I would assume that as it's a counter terrorism check then only relevant info concerning terrorism will count you out. I imagine a lot of people will have suffered from past debts or a...

She did say that she's never known anyone to have an issue with it. If there was a problem they'd know by now. Lol

Congrats mate. Well done! Have you had this counter terrorism form yet? They said on the call to me yesterday that I still have to do this for advanced clearance and I'll get the form at some point. Might even be after I start.

Got a call from DRS this afternoon. They now have my security clearance and medical are all passed so they're sending my contract in the post today. A huge weight off my mind now that I know I'm all official. Wooohoooo!

Good luck to all the guys starting the training course tomorrow. Not jealous at all.........:D

Had my top up medical this afternoon. Was in and out in 5 mins. Really is nothing to worry about. Asked if I had any problems seeing in the dark or judging distance when it's raining. Then told me a name and address to remember. Stood up. Touch your toes, stand on 1 leg, bend to the side and...

I hope everyone will be getting the paper work although I suspect it will just be the November starters. I'll let you know what's involved in the medical once Ive done it on Wednesday. Shouldn't imaginge it will pose too many problems.

Just had a call from Hr. seems there has been a change in European law and we now need a further medical. Testing concentration, hand eye coordination etc. so it's back to Bupa on Wednesday.

I'm sure if there was a problem they'd have found out by now. Lol. I've still got the long wait over Christmas and new year but it'll be a whole lot less stressful when I'm in possession of a contract. Just noticed you're from Bishopbriggs? We were looking at moving there as my wife teaches at...

So you're on the course starting 25th Nov? Have you had to hand your notice in without a formal offer then?

Could be just for nuclear work. When I spoke to them they said all they were waiting for was a reference. Do you know what your missing for clearance?

I have not mate. Prob because they were waiting for a ref from my previous employer. What was involved in that?

Anyone had anything formal from DRS yet? Surley the guys on the November course will have had formal offers by now.

Yeh, they hadnt received a reference from my previous employer so just asked me the chase it up. I'll double check on monday but sounded like that's all they were waiting for. Hopefully I'm not holding everyone up!

All this waiting and not knowing is killing me. Im trying not to think about it and just be patient but Im failing miserably! If they are looking for higher than enhanced disclosure then the only things they could look for is enhanced with lists or PVG membership. Both of which are there purely...

just a phone call for me too. Said on the phone they would sort out all the checks and then make a formal offer in due time so we'll get something in writting at that stage. Still plenty of time for it to go pear shaped.

Disclosure shouldn't take anywhere near 6 weeks to come back. The letter we got from DRS says that once they receive the disclosure certificate, they will copy it to keep on file and then send us a copy. If you look on the disclosure Scotland website, this would indicate a basic disclosure only...

Congratulations guys. Cant wait to get started! I sent off my uniform request and Disclosure Scotland application yesterday, and have my medical 22nd. Can't wait to get the formal offer and get my notice in to work!

Received a conditional offer last night! They are taking on too many people for 1 training course though so they have 1 starting 25th November and then another (which I will be on) starting 27th January. As long as I pass the medical and security vetting that is! Delighted! :D

I hope you're right. Although if it's bad news Id rather not know!
