The runners we have to bring don't have to be all white. I've been told that you can wear any colour you want. They're not to strict on it.

Anyone heard the same ?

Basically, I have come to this conclusion. The reason they want all white shoes is because full on black runners will more than likely mark the floor in the halls down there and scruff it up. If you just get a pair of runners that are not black on the bottom you'd be fine.

By the same token, white runners are fairly easy to get on Amazon so if you want to be strict to form head on over there for a look.

Ah yeah, you could be right but I'm not gonna bother buying new white ones when I have a brand new pair of runners. The bottoms of mine are white already so I should be grand.

Was hoping it might say in the info pack but my missus was wondering is there a day that she can go down and have a look around. Essentially a day to bring family to show them what the place is like. I remember reading somewhere before that there was a day for this.

When the induction week was in the college family were able to come and look around for an hour in the morning on the first day but doesn't happen anymore as the college is so full. They'll have to wait until graduation haha

Jan 16 myself OOM of 1100's , file complete but i reckon not a hope for me for may,ill aim for august!

Justdoit_90

Just looking for a bit of help guys. If recently been invited forward for the may intake. However, due to different circumstances it would be much more suitable for me to hold off til the August intake. Is there any way I can defer the offer til August or what can I do ???

JN94

Just got an offer, the second round offers must be out. Pure sickened I have to defer it till August due to last month of in college in final year. OOM is 1100's from 2015 campaign for anyone interested.

In the same situation myself but I read in older posts that you can only defer if your in final year of college. Honestly don't know the situation with deferring myself but i'll let you know how I get on when I contact HRM.

That's seems odd if your file was completed , but chin up don't lose hope I see a lot of people talking about deferring which means places that will open up for May you could get one of those don't lose hope till the day before

I'd be on the blower to HR to see what the story is. With your oom and file completed you should be in the running for an offer.

I didn't get an offer either and I'm mid 500's from Jan 16! I can't believe my vetting is still not complete I did my interview last August and my PCT in October such a frustrating system

No offer either. Congrats to all that did. Very hard seeing the 2016 campaign getting offers already. Very strange system
