Hi all,

I attended the assessment centre on the 13th of October in Edinburgh. Whilst we had the presentation the guys delivering it said there was a post for each of us and that we didn't need to worry about competing for a place should we be successful at the assessment centre.

Monday 17th got email from Laura to congratulate and that training is expected to start from 9th Jan to March. They are awaiting training dates and locations being confirmed.

I touched base with Laura to find out how things were progressing and training dates are still awaiting confirmation.

Hope this helps anyone and well done all As they say good things come to those who wait

Congrats! looks like there is going to be a load of us starting in the new year! I cant wait now hoping to start January rather than March but will have to wait and see.

Congrats mate, yeah looks like there will be quite a few folk starting at once, I'm hoping it's January for me as my girlfriend is due in April so otherwise I would be looking at starting May sometime! Luckily I'm in full time employment but would rather get started sooner than later.

Wow double congrats for you then ! a busy new year for you then mate, Same as me i'm lucky to be in full time employment. doesnt stop me counting down the days though haha.

Congrats mate! New year and new chapter for you

I'm employed full time at the moment, regardless of BT Job I was going to leave as new role hasn't been what I had hoped and promised. Looking after number one and may leave earlier.

If I hear anything from Recruitment I'll post on here to let you know guys

Cheers lads, yeah next year is gonna be a busy one!

It's just a wee bit harder getting motivated doing my current job knowing I'll be leaving in the future.

Same here will let you guys know once I hear anything!

Anybody had an interview in the past 2 months had a start date yet or potential start date?
I've been told I have passed the assessment day just trying to plan!

Congratulations mate!

There are a few of us waiting to hear about a start date, I gather we all passed in October, just a waiting game mate as they will be trying to plan start dates for a lot of people.

Speaking to my friend the other day he reckons they won't be starting people till the new tax year in April but myself and some of the other guys have been told potential start dates of January so I hope he is wrong lol, the main thing is though we all passed and there will be a job for us at some point

Congrats mate,

Hope this helps reassure, In October when I was at the assessment centre one of the recruitment guys said the training would be likely no be until the last quarter which would be Jan to March. Not sure if you were given any indication when you had your assessment centre? However hope this helps.

I questioned the HR girl who did my telephone interview who stated they were looking at a January start date. Others on here have stated a course starting on January the 9th til March. Personal opinion would rule against an April start date due to increased droppage rate with time from date of interview as Openreach may not have been candidates only option. Also I initially applied in I believe February and it stated there was no current vacancies. It was just the amount of accepted candidates I wasn't expecting. Another thing of note the interviewer stated they had 32,000 applicants and 1500 interviewed they wouldn't go through that for next years budget as it could change, the interview process would be in the current budget!!
So well done all you have got through a great few hoops to get just here!!
