Cannot help. OPC mark the tests. Sorry
@HeelBurton I applied for Stourbridge a few months back but still haven't heard anything back. I can see other people have already had their assessment/OPC. Does this mean I'm out of luck or do you know if they are still pulling people through a group at a time?

Only a limited amount of people can do OPC at a time. So not out of luck but could be assessed for a future batch.

Thanks for the reply. That's good to know. I will keep my fingers crossed then.
Have you heard anything. I did my OPC few weeks ago and have Interview next week. They are advertising for Banbury too I just noticed
Did you have to take the tests online? Curious if you have any tips :)

I hated mine :lol:
tests were in person . Like exam booklets

Nah I still haven't heard anything. My mate applied for the same place (Birmingham) but hasn't heard anything either. Good luck with your interview!

Would anyone know why please? Massive amount of applications or such? o_O
I would imagine it will be due to large volumes of applicants and to make sure they are not over run. I would imagine there will be a very limited number of actual positions.
