Hi,

How long does it usually take to find out whether or not you passed the assessments that were on the initial sift please?

I applied August 4th for Birmingham
Snow Hill 2027

Thank you.
You'll probably get notified some time next week. I had mine start of July (around the 6th I think they dropped) and I got my email on the 24th to say I've passed the sift.

Regarding those who passed the sift, I'm reading around and it seems to be 2-3 months before standard assessment invites are handed out. I'm assuming we won't really be hearing anything until heading into the end of the year, around late October-November time perhaps?

I understand there's no set time for it but going based off what I've read anyway (applied for Coventry depot btw if that's any indications)
