Unlucky Lee. Just told you that you've not been successful but no feedback? If I was you, I would contact them or OPC for your results. Might of been successful but not high enough scores for First

Thanks. To be honest, I know my weakness was in the Tea-Occ. I quite enjoy the group bourdon and TRP tests. The Tea-Occ was the one that threw me. Congrats to anyone that gets through.

Seems Blackpool candidates have heard 1st, I was there myself and got my results today as well. Sorry to those whose journey ends here, best of luck to those who've progressed to stage 2.

While waiting for dots test paperwork to be collected, I spotted a couple of mistakes where I'd missed, that kinda threw me a little into the glop test, but I'd done the dials test for current job so was comfortable with that. Tones & tones with distractions I found I was comfortable doing them. Gotta wait n see what happens next though now. :|

Afternoon session star? Hope you don't mind me asking but what does your surname begin with? Not sure if they'll do it in alphabetical or not... I've still not heard anything =[

My Assessment was in York on Thursday 3rd afternoon, plus my surname begins with M, so not too hopeful of hearing today. Hopefully tomorrow, good luck to all!

Hi guys (and girls) - my surname begins with 'P' and I got the email yesterday morning, so I'm not sure it's done alphabetically.

Good or bad news? I had mine on the 2nd in the afternoon but I've heard nothing up to now... As they say, no news is good news, I guess! I know I did well on Group Bourdon, so so on the 2nd test, 75% on the 3rd and hopefully 100% on the 4th... Just dreading the wait though!

Good news - up to now. I had mine on the 01st in Blackpool with around 50 others. Lots of paperwork for them to go through I would imagine, just keep your fingers crossed.

There were 2 days each week for the next 3 weeks, from what i can remember they were;

9/10th April in preston

15/16th April in Hull

22/23rd April in York

All morning sessions 9 to 1pm

I do remember someone on my assessment day saying the next stage of the assessment would be in groups of 6, that doesn't leave many spaces!?!?

Still no news for me. Think the process is slightly unfair in that some people find out earlier than others if they have progressed. This results in people getting first choice for the slots, and also means they have an advantage in extra preparation time for assessments. I think it would be fairer to inform everybody at the same time, once all the marking has been completed.

Same for me DMCtoon. Still nothing however I think more than likely it will be today, well I hope! I'm hoping if I'm successful I can get a slot booked asap whilst I'm off for the half term but the longer its left, the less likely it is looking..

Just got my email through... Been successful! :)

I was at York on 2nd April, I just got my email inviting me for the second stage assessments. I'm quite surprised, although I know I did well on Group Bourdon, TRP 1 and 2, I thought I'd messed up the first part of the Tea-Occ.

They've added a load more options for stage 2 assessments at the end of April and beginning of May at TPE HQ in Manchester.

Good luck to all those who are still waiting for their email, hopefully you'll all get some good news today, I have my fingers crossed for you
