How long after your interview was it until you got offered for medical ?
Had my interview and was about a week later I got confirmation I had passed the interview and been successful. I wasn't put on a pool as I was one of the first two that got the first vacancies and slots on training school, so was a couple of weeks for a medical then a month notice at my last job and that was it. We had the next person start her route learning 2 weeks ago so there is a regular stream of people coming through (or at least there is for Dundee) but as I said the training school on Glasgow can only have a small number of candidates in each 3 weeks course so that might be the bottleneck I'm not sure.

I applied for Edinburgh, so it’ll probably be another wee while yet I’d expect until a medical/offer. I remain hopeful that I get selected from the talent bank.
