4 emails to TFW over the last 6 months enquiring about my application and still no response. Anyone else Still waiting to see if their application is being progressed? Some will be fully fledged drivers soon and Still no news on my application; frustrating is an understatement

I applied in February 2019 and have only recently got a start date so I wouldn’t say it’s unusual having to wait a while :D

Covid has caused issues, adding to an already long process. I'd say forget you applied and just get on with life. You may get a nice surprise email out of the blue like I did after over a year of waiting.

Hi,
I’ve just received an email out of the blue saying I’ve now moved onto the test side, which is short notice. Ive been reading through this forum for a while, any advice?

Timing of my post couldn't have been better. Lol

Loads of info on forum for assessments. Take time to look, it's all I did and I passed.
