Yes they are now progressing, but sadly there is a massive backlog of trainees who have passed rules, traction etc who are still waiting for driving instructors.
They are only putting on one more more course this year in March so I think recruitment is going to be paused again or slowed right down so they can catch up. Also due to Covid they need to put those trainees back through rules refreshers as some haven’t driven at all since passing, which further puts pressure on the training school.
Recruitment may continue with assessments and interviews (although I’m not sure). But there certainly won’t be any more start dates for new trainees this year.
