No worries! I found it pretty relaxed in there and the assessors were fab and explained everything thoroughly before each part! Good luck and let us know how you get on!

Guess those of us from the last round with Acorn now have our answer.
Are Acorn still involved does anyone know. There seems to be a good few waiting to hear something. My last update was March
I'm still waiting if my application has been accepted or not, my last email was March too. I sent an email to the recruitment team last week but I've not heard back yet.

Has anyone heard recently for either Chester or Crewe?
The mail I had the other day said Chester Holyhead Pwllheli were being prioritised for this coming week.
Have to be honest it came out of the blue.
I really thought I’d been sifted
I applied this time last year through Acorn

Hmmmm okay thanks for your response guys. Acorn has said I am still under review and will definately get a no if I am sifted out. Will have to wait and see, especially after the amount of people that applied.

I guess if you haven’t heard anything yet there is hope you are still in the running
I’ve seen many say that they had a ‘no’ early on so fingers xd for you
What depot are you in for?

One person from the morning and few from the afternoon so I don’t know how they work out who gets their results when
God knows then, I was in the afternoon group! I’m assuming if they have passed then I’ve failed if I haven’t heard anything yet lol

Congratulations!! Fingers crossed we’ll be on the computer tests together too :D haha! Xxx
Good luck on the next stage! I found the computer assessments fairly easy and all 4 on my course passed so try not to worry to much about them

Practise your MMI answers using the star method and you’ll be fine

Congratulations, I had convinced myself I had failed so also relieved to find out I had passed. Was in the same group as you :D

Out of curiosity, would the MMI be on the day of the computer tests, or after?

Me too!! I’m crying lol I know there’s a few stages to go but...yay. Xx
Congratulations!! :)
