3rd of September is when I went for my Stage 2. Received an email 4 days after to say I passed.

I thought I mentioned on this post but I didn't, funny enough when I posted my comment about waiting for a DMI, I received an email an hour later. Just done my DMI for FRL and was a bit more complex that I had imagined. Hopefully if I passed the interview and that I'll be able to start on the 26th of next month.

What sort of questions did they ask? And did they stay there was spaces on the October course or did they have spaces for different courses in the following months?

Hiya,There is a mix of questions they will ask, ranging from “What do you know about our company?” to “Tell me about a time when you were involved in an emergency situation.” For the competency-based questions, it is highly recommended to use the STAR technique, but it’s not really a case of having to memorise your answers. It’s more about using real-life experiences and explaining how you dealt with them. I can explain it in a bit more detail if you send me a message.
Also, to answer your question about the course dates, I believe the course for next month still has some slots available, as some applicants may be delayed from starting due to the required checks. However, I think that after a certain date has passed, they probably won’t enrol any more trainees onto that course.
There are more courses available after that, but unfortunately, I don’t have any information on when they will be, so I apologise.
Ok thanks man! I’m still waiting to sit computer tests with OPC so I guess there’s still hope if they have more course dates.
