Congratulations you must be buzzing. I think they will have surplus people in the application process to cover all the areas on the map. It will only be when a position comes up and they haven't got anyone available, like advertising the post. I'd like to think its in preparation for a new recruitment drive. Did you wait long for a date after the AC ?

Nice to receive a "welcome to the openreach team" gift pack in the post today. Finally after 7 months since my offer its starting to feel like things are moving along

Week 1 at yarnfield week Sunday

Brilliant, i would imagine you're on a buzz now.. I've not even had an offer yet. Hope its not another 7 months from there on. Well done and enjoy the new venture.

Thank you..

Will let you know how I get on....

Hi there choppers'

I too am starting a week on Sunday and have literally no idea what happens at Yarnfield and beyond. Any ideas?

Hi there .Did you get the welcome email with your training schedule yet? I got mine a couple of days ago. Plenty of info in it. Shows my training locations practically up to the end of week 13 for me. 1st week will be induction week.

hi there,unfortunatley No welcome email with training schedule, thats something i am waiting for. I'm travelling from Totnes just the other side of Exeter on the sunday and my train passes through Bristol mid-afternoon, not sure about your train.

Yep really pleased and looking forward to it. I applied back in March and then got a start in September but had to withdraw as had knee issues, so solved that. So notified them 2 weeks ago. Kind of wasn't expecting getting anything till the new year, so really pleased been given a date.

I will take it all though it did make me think a little . Same 13 week training schedule as the other position but with different content...
Have queried a few things as if the job had changed then I am thinking my "home" exchange may well now have changed since March.
Multiple emails from different teams and they dont match lol....

Somerset
