Oooo the FOI said no sessions for 2nd of March but if they’re offering that out then I guess we should take everything we see online with a pinch of salt

wow so good to see people getting their dates now!!!

I’ve finally received my reed link, filled it out and sent it back already. I suppose I have about another 8 weeks wait before hearing anything.

Any advice on this bit would be appreciated!

Also looking forward to seeing your guys thoughts on training too.

Hello, I've got my role play and scenario based interview which is in five days and given how much I want to be fully prepared to do really well and succeed in it in order to get the job, knowing how important it is to me, is there anyone available on here that I can send a PM to that can give me fantastic guidance, regarding very helpful tips on how to pass this assessment stage, what I should say and do in the interview etc.

Because I would like to know what steps you took in this part of the assessment so that I don't struggle too much in the role play / SBI and feel unprepared.

I'm at the Reed section myself...still waiting for some checks to come back (although I expect it all to come back green). After that I believe it's the medical and then start date!

Congrats on getting this far! Definitely use the search function on the top right of the forum and search "role play". Many people have done the same and done well off of it!

It’s been around 2 weeks since I got my conditional offer and submitted my initial documents. Still haven’t heard anything, is this normal?

It was literally 8 weeks for me too, after a lot of back and forth with onboarding (they kept losing my docs somehow).

if you don’t mind me asking, when did you do roleplay & sbi?

I assume it was this year?

Weeks 1&2- Are class room training, which is Monday to Friday.

Week 3- At your station Most likely this will start on Monday, allowing you to have the weekend off, but it depends on the station/coverage.

You do a week in your station, these are typically Monday to Friday but this all depends on your station and coverage.

Week 4- There are two options, but this is down to training.

You go back to training for ticket office/POMs or you stay at your station for more training.

Week 5- You are fully at your station(s)

Does anyone know if staff pass/oyster gets sent to your house in advance or do you receive it at training?

yes, you get staff pass on 1st day of training.

does anyone have the number for reed, or know where I can find it?
I think I should chase so as to quicken the referencing.

I don't have a number unfortunately, although if it helps it took almost exactly 1 month from me sending everything to Reed to all my checks going green on a Saturday morning.

Timeline might help you.
