Which TOC/FOC may i ask?

Unfortunately it comes down to “how long is a piece of string” some waits in talent pools are short and others can last a number of years or never be pulled out of them.

Ok. Thanks for the reply. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.

Thank you. I’m just inquisitive in regards to what further testing etc I will be experiencing

If you have done the psychometrics and passed the DMI only further thing to do would be medical and background checks once you get a conditional job offer.

Well, that’s a timeline I’d like to not experience

I’ve known trainees that have had to resit tests as they’ve expired on them! As above, get on with your life, apply for other vacancies near you if they arise because until you’ve signed a contract and you’re on a course you haven’t effectively been offered a position

Thank you for the reply. I think it’s best to accept and continue as you suggested.
