Online learning

Constablemaybe

Does anybody know much about the online learning?
Will a place at Garnerville be subject to passing tests online? Also if the online learning takes 4 weeks and the first intake is supposedly the end of May, then when will we be told to start the online learning? Thanks

The online learning is only 25hrs. Would expect you'll be told end April, which is when you would have to tell your boss to go jump

Let's hope that day comes!!

Yeah, your start date is going to be put back! The high achievers results will be out friday. There could be a big trolley queue at holywell, gransha, muckamore etc!

Think everyone through so far are destined to the first draft of recruits.

Got the same email.

At least this will occupy the brain a bit!

Would I be wrong in assuming this means vetting has cleared and our details have been passed on?

Yes you would be wrong. They say if we fail medical vetting or substance misuse our online learning account will be closed.

Did anyone notice the email stated course number was 01-14. Anyone else think this means we are in the first intake subject to passing everything else?

Yup because the further info I was requested to send for vetting is only being put in the post today!

CallTheCobra

Just got the email also, was checking emails every two mins after wanadrum posted! Lol

Job4life

Just got the email too. Hard not to get excited or optimistic!

Homer01

This will be the true IT test lol.

El_Triboy

Got the email earlier too, something to keep us busy for a while


I don't think it means we passed vetting, I'm still waiting to get additional info that I have to send to them

whatinthe

Non-alphanumeric.. Learn something new everyday!! haha

We'll just have to wait until after getting AC and hopefully completing PCA before this email by the looks of it

Jb12345

Got the emails also. Did have to check twice thinking is this spam lol. Got hopes up that it meant vetting was cleared but then read that. Aw well least it's something else

Will the online learning have tests to do? Should it be something to worry about?

It doesn't really matter one way or the other. I presume there must be some sort of 'testing' involved in order to complete it, but I would doubt it will be anything too difficult for us.

I would've imagined the course material gives you all the info you need to pass any tests. Jealous of the lot of you that have got this far, well done and happy online learning!

J_Recruit

I got the email aswell, looking forward to getting it started

wanadrum

Typical that they send you details to do the online learning but then give you a bit more waiting practice as well.....

As long as it is in an approved centre

So it's gotten interesting again. I'm still wondering how those of us this far, with others yet to receive AC results, will place in terms of merit. Would be pretty gutting to be the first to get results all the way through to realise come end of March that we aren't close to securing offers. Up until this point I've refrained from speculating but you do kind of get your hopes up having come this far. I dunno whether it's worse to be at this stage or to be still waiting on AC results.

mstar

have you been told you will definitely get an offer after completing the online learning?

It's dependent on medical and vetting as well

No this is why I wrote that BIG post on them as yet unknowns. Just saying that even though some of us have pass marks up to now we still might not be high on merit

Anyone get the email today so and so has completed RTC knowledge check bla bla. I'd that just the person confirming that we have logged in or whatever.

I did get it - not sure why it means!

whatinthe

I assume everyone else's RTC email was blank? Just a title?

I put it in my trash folder it as it seems similiar to thousands of other spam emails!

I was mainly upset because I thought it was an email saying they'd completed vetting!!:pac:

Jb12345

I'd keep it out of trash incase further ones come through, not sure meaning of it. Obviously they working at our accounts.

whatinthe

Ya I put it back where it belongs ha! It didn't go into spam thankfully.

Looking forward to get cracking into it on Friday!

Hey everyone, long time reader first time poster.
I got the email today about someone completing a part of the learning.
I emailed classis and they said it was sent in error and the problem had been resolved.

Jb12345

Had a quick nosey at the online learning. There is definitely a lot to go through. Will be getting stuck in ASAP.

Had a look through it myself. Looks very intensive but quite interesting as well. But will take some time to complete! !

I'm just reading about the tests on this material upon entry into G'ville. I take it that it would be in our best interests to make notes as we go along? I'm assuming we will no longer be able to access it once the allocated time is up? Can anybody clarify this?

I'm just going to take summary notes as I go along. There's a lot of repitition, which is good, so summarising areas and key points should cover it imo! I could be wrong tho.

What sort of topics are involved in the online learning?
