Hey guys, extremely helpful info on this page!!

I also have my assessment day on the 11th May in Bristol. So far the whole process has moved extremely quickly and smoothly!! I've spent so much time preparing for the assessment so I hope to get it!!!

Can't decide if I am excited or nervous for the assessment, but hey, if worst comes to worst and I don't get offered the job it's all valuable experience for the future I guess!!

Good Luck with your assessment in London!!

Just spoke to my mate whos on his first week and apparantlly buddying done locallly its just anything on ur training matrix that has training on it is at ur training centre so i believe its weeks 3 5 7 and 8,but as i said earlier will all be confirmed on thursday in conference call at 4 but he did say you can email him if you cant make call but he was a bit vague with me

seriously dont try and overthink it,i swotted up on why openreach was set up and when and who the chairman and CEO were and never got asked 1 question about it!!it is good to know just in case but theres nothing to really revise on,just be yourself and try to relax they are not trying to catch you out and remember your not competing against everyone on the assesment,if everything goes well theres no reason all 15 of you wont get a job
