How to you manage to get on with your application? I am 14 weeks into my training and I remember the application being hard filling in the online application

How's the training going? Have you just finished the classroom phase?

Update : still showing application under consideration, no other news a present but did say 12 weeks.

Managed to get over the 1000 words for each question using examples to help answer the questions and explanation of implications and reasoning for my actions.

So basically you acknowledge the info is there for you but you don’t want to put the effort in to find it?

Modern day approach it seems..

I’ve already replied to the this comment and explained the reason why so don’t feel the need to explain myself yet again.
Yes I have done as much research as I can searched all posts on this subject, application was handed in a number of weeks ago.

The instructions say 500 to 1000 words, so by going over 1000 words it demonstrates that you can't follow instructions. Or am I missing something?

Maybe I was between 500 to 1000 words then, was over 4 weeks ago now that I applied so can’t remember.

My mistake, I answered in around 700-800 words per question. Just checked.

I have just passed all my tests and received a verbal offer with a provisional start date of December. Did you have to wait quite a while for from passing to the start date?

And also how are you finding training, what is a typical week like?
