Hi, in response to your Question i’ve just turned 26 and everyone at my assessment day was around my age’ give or take a few years, i don't think they are bothered about age, i’ve seen on here early last year guys that got jobs that were in there 40’s, hope it helps

Yes i am mid forties and start 21st may, i think they are not concerned on age just if you are good enough to do the job, i guess. I hope that helps ?

What age are people getting through to an assessment centre.. Been hearing they are prefering 18-24 year olds

I’m 39, turn 40 in December. On my assessment there were about 7 folk I would say are mid 20’s, 3 folk late teen or early 20’s and one guy that looked mid 40’s.

Thanks for the replies at 28 I was wondering if I was going to get thrown off the pile

Anyone else had this? Had any luck?

I am pleased to say you were successful at passing the assessment centre in Warrington, well done!

Unfortunately at the moment there are a limited number of positions available in your area and they have gone to other candidates, so for the moment we are unable to offer you a position.

However the business is still reviewing trainee openreach positions so we may see some changes and we will be in touch if we can find an available role for you.

Thank you for your understanding and patience so far and congratulations again!

Lots of people had that and then been offered a placement shortly after. Some have had to wait longer but most seem to get an offer eventually.
No guarantees of course since not everyone frequents the forums or discord but you are not alone and you passed so its highly likely youll hear something at some point.

Where abouts are you based?

Myself and a few others who have recently completed the assessment centre have had the same email. You’ve passed thats the main thing

Everyone else ive spoken to on here or the discord group who also have had that email have been offerd a position

Remember its only April and the start of a new financial year, its likely the positions havent been finalised in our areas yet

the wirral, though i did get an email later in the day saying the business has now approved positions in your area. so just waiting on a start day now
