Is it a positive that Bedford courses are becoming available at last?

Or is it a negative that I never got a call today and others did, when courses are already sparse?

Glass half full or half empty?

Congrats and good luck lads btw

Fingers crossed. altho the cynic in me thinks they would've made all the relative calls in one day :cry:

Not a bad shout Bucko. Within a week though we have gone from nothing until next year to people getting a phone call. Even if just a few get the call, those that don't, are that little bit closer to the top of the list ??????

I'm on my second week for training and we had a almost a different trainer every day. They said there are 8 courses currently running my end with only 5 trainers so you can see the issues. Sure everyone will get there in the end.

I'd love to know how people are chosen to get the next call.

Interview rating? Assessments scores? Combination of both? Chronological order of application? Pot luck?

Wonder if we're all 'rated' in some sort of order, or if they just choose lucky souls

Hmmm im afraid i dont know, but would assume that those who have had their medicals that we would be on an equal footing?

Or order of pass dates?
