That's exactly what happens in North! SETs/Fitness, couple of weeks then initial interview, maybe 4-6 weeks for AC, 1-2 weeks medical, uniform fitting arranged by yourself, then it's just a waiting game for vetting, when that is clear 8 weeks before intake final fitness! A Div is still a priority I think so could all be done and dusted possibly for Sept intake! good luck

"Tell me about a time when you're personal emotions effected your work and how did you deal with this?" I spoke about a particularly difficult period in my personal life, how it affected the people I worked with and how I moved forward and learned from it. hope this gives you an idea, if you like pm me and I will explain further if needed

A real question instead of BMI!!! I did, just ask for one when you are getting your GP to do the medical questionnaire. As for folk worrying about BMI, if you had done your "research" you would have known it was 18-30 prior to applying so there really is no excuse to leave it to the last minute to worry about!! #justsayin

For those going through A Div. last year I had AC in Nov and medical the week after! I had uniform fitting between xmas and new year. I also received e-mail invite to final fitness & SMT that week (to be held end of January). when I was at FF I got told vetting was clear and just reference required, the final offer came through 8 weeks prior to start date at Tulli. (Which was 27/03/2017). I would imagine timescales are still the same for A Div. so at least if you are past AC stage you have an idea of how it will progress from now

Just finished there today, 70 multiple choice questions, 1.5 mins per question closed book! Learn the definitions! They are more important than you may imagine!

The 5 years thing will be for referees, medical questionnaire required your full medical history! Also you will need your immunisation record so ask for that at the same time you hand in your questionnaire, otherwise they may try and charge you for that also!

I wouldn't mind getting the people I know in on this too

I have a wee what'sapp group with 4 others that I know. Send me a pm and I'll add you in! Or alternatively start a new one

Perfect thanks

What are the shift hours for the above?

A wee tip aswell, take your notes with you to read over as it can sometimes be a long wait in the afternoon. Also speak to the other candidates as they may have some knowledge that you are unsure of and vice versa! Enjoy it, ian

Good stuff mate! I have mine on Monday so fingers crossed for same result! When they take the hair for SMT can you request only greys to come out? Lol

How did you get on today?

Any advice where buy the kit? Not sure about the boots/shoes that are part of the new recruit kit from SPRA shop. Well done and good luck with the interview👍

I'm North, I'm guessing you're West? (After a long wait?) have you started on the kit list yet?
