For all the guys waiting for AS dates, it all depends, I passed my video Feb 2018, I finally have an assessment day next Friday!!
It can take a while....
Evening bud m. I see your swindon area and demand is medium to high as I am Andover way m. You should be getting a start date for training soon as they are pushing trainees through Yarnfield at a rate at the moment.
Just completed mine too, how long did you take out of interest, I answered my questions in about 15 minutes, and they were all pretty straight forward.
Had another call today from one of the recruitment team, offering the May start date again as apparently I only need the first eight weeks free then I can take my holiday during the last few weeks of training.
Only problem now is i’m away until the sunday evening before the Monday they’ve offered me to start, and have said i’d need to get to yarnfield for 7am on the monday. I could potentially drive there very early Monday but i’ve read on here you pick up your van at the end of the first week? Obviously wouldnt be possible for me if I drove up! Can anyone clarify?
Just got this email, happy I passed but a little annoyed there is not a job offer straight away.
Has anyone else been in this position, if so how long did you have to wait?
Hi,
Thank you so much for the time you spent with us this week in Bedford.
I am pleased to say you were successful at passing the assessment centre, well done!
Unfortunately at this time we do not have a specific vacancy that matches to your location so for the moment we are unable to offer you a position.
However the position does change on a regular basis and new vacancies do become available to us through the year. I can assure you we will be in touch if and when this changes to see if you are still interested.
I’m sorry we haven’t been able to find anything for you right now and if you have any question please do let me know.
