Only had a look on my phone but looks like a good bit of work. Doesn't give a time scale or anything.

Yeah it doesn't seem to be live as of yet, it does look pretty comprehensive. Got myself a new jotter pad with a brand spanking new bic, I'm gonna be noting it up like there was no tomorrow haha.

Hey guys, when you log in there will be more details. But time scale is about a month. Read your email thoroughly too, the info should all be there.

I'd recommend printing it off. I did for C1 and needed almost 2 LEVER ARCH folders. It an awful lot to be jotting down Highbury!!! Plus once the online closes you'll have that copy to go through while you wait for the call. Especially since there's new material you have to learn before starting hotel GV. It would give you a little less to do while trying to sort everything else out.

Damn! Yeah think I'll take on your advice Mop, I didn't realise it was as much as that.

There was one section that wouldn't print. Think it was the data protection, you'll get to use that jotter after all

No no mate, some of us on here including myself only recently got letters saying we are being processed through the remaining stages, we only got access to our online learning today. So your still good, I'd dare say you will be getting a call sometime very soon

Printing is definately an option, however as Mop says it's an awful lot of paper, what I did was print each page to POF, so I have it all saved on my PC, happy reading :-)

Definitely make a point of learning your online material as this is tested once you are in GV, I would print if I were you but be selective. A lot of the material will have summarys and the knowledge quizzes will help

Does it take long to do? Like did you have a strategy for it? An hour a night for a couple of weeks or what? Can't wait to actually learn something that Will be interesting haha

I only printed it off so I could read through it while waiting on kids and I'm not the best at sitting in front of a screen for hours. I'm better at learning if it's in paper and I can read through it and highlight it as I go. Personal preference I guess. It didn't take too long but just be careful that all sections are ticked off. I thought it was completed but when I went in to check it, it hasn't pulled a score from one test across so I had to close it all down and go back on a do it again which fixed the problem. Good luck guys. You'll want the job more when you see it and one of my friends is in a picture!!! Was so surprised to see him.

It doesn't take too long to do, I just did what I could whenever I could. It's just important to remember that you are doing this now and it could be a while before you get a start date and you need to know this stuff

Yea we haven't even got vetting or PCA stuff yet so we could be in for a long wait lol last time I didn't even get a sniff at the online learning so this is exciting

elliotness

Maybe ive missed a bit somewhere but are people getting non progression letters? are these the guys who still have the pca and medical to do??

also when are the next batch of calls due my phones in for fixing, gotta get a brock to stick the sim card into lol

Mornin Elliott

The non-progression letters were sent to people who were (roughly) 60-66 who have yet to start the next phase (vetting, online learning etc). I say yet cos there's still a possibility they could get moved on.

Following the 5 week rule calls should hopefully be happening next week mate!

Breaking bad

Took the plunge to ring 101 and ask about vetting and was told it's still ongoing.

Anyone know how long it takes ? Feel helpless

captain truth

It varies I'm afraid. For example, mine took less than 6 weeks, whereas some seem to take up to 6 months. When did you send it off?

Midgetgem84

Yea as Truth says it varies for everyone mate. Mine took nearly 6 months before it was cleared. Everyone is different. Just hang in there and it'll all come good.

I did my PCA/medical back in May and patience is not my strong suit by any stretch lol

Mallbo26

Think it varies bud! Mine took about three months or just shortly over that!

Never fear! It will pass! You just need a whole lot of patience when you're sitting in the waiting room :-)

Breaking bad

Think I sent it in July from what I can remember. Was hoping it was all done for this round of calls next week but guy was I will miss that run.

Thanks for the replies and boost of confidence

Callzo

I don't know where to begin on the vetting forms. Going to start them Saturday morning. Do we just fill out all of the SC/CTC or only the declaration pages?

The forms are a lot more comprehensive than the MET.
