19,000 first year, 20,900 second year of apprenticeship. First year qualified is 30,000 basic plus 2,000 for being an NRT(working one weekend a month). Salary increases by 2,000 every year thereafter until you reach your maximum of 38,000. However they are negotiating with union for a pay rise at moment. Also roughly 2,000 a year worth of subsistence(daily food allowance is 10 euro ish a day and isnt taxed).

Cheers for that. I take it you work with them? How'd you find it?

Anyone from this month's assessments hear anything yet?

Not yet, they said it would be within 2 weeks. Assessments only ended on Monday. I read back through the forum and it said it takes about 5 days.

Has anybody heard back yet? I sent an email on the 30th Oct wondering why there was no notification and was told they would be in touch. The first round of training was due to start the 5th Nov with the second round on the 26th and no word one way or another.
It’d be nice to know whether or not I can stop checking my spam email folder.

All offers have been made, i know someone that got that call, they started the 5th.
At the same time i know someone else that got a rejection email but I've got nothing myself either.

Emailed them too like you and got what i now know is a generic email back. No doubt you got the same one. I'd say we're a no go.

It's very very poor form after the test, video interview and a day off work to drive across the country for a 4 hour assessment and to not hear back formally.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
A nice pat on the head “thanks for trying, now jog on” would do the world of good.
If I hear anything else I’ll stick it up here, thanks.

Finally received an official reflection email today, almost 6 weeks after the assessments finished. Nice to finally be able to put it to bed, but bad form to keep people hanging on this long I think.

Same as! Did you get scores from the assessment day? I didn't and was hoping for them.
