    Few weeks away. How about you?

    I'm hoping that if all goes well with my medical and vetting I could get a call In August. That's maybe wishful thinking though.

    Yeah, mines few weeks away too. Hard to say when you might get call if all goes well. Could well be August but there's whole batch doing medical before us in this group so you never know.

    You can repeat the sections as many times as you need to. They just want you to complete it. There's no pass or fail. Just make sure you look around in the menus and find your % scores. I had one that said it was completed but still showed 0/9 and I think it was the chemical cocktail one I had to go through again for it to show up as 100%. Make sure pop ups are unblocked or some of the videos and links won't work and also don't hit the back key on the (I think it's this) PowerPoint about data protection etc it won't go forward again and will register as incomplete and you'll have to go through it all over again. A few of us had that problem.

    I printed most of it out and went through it with a highlighter. I personally find it easier to learn that way than off a screen. Plus it's good to have a nosy through again if you're stuck lol. Questions are fairly straight forward. Multiple choices. There's a quiz you do before you read the material I think it was PWTC, remember to go back to the quiz and get 100%

    Read some of the info regarding online learning. Even if you fail the test undertaken in the 1st week you're not out on your ear it seems.

    I can't really remember exactly, I think it was at the very top above the list of topics you have to do, or maybe the screen before that. Sorry for not being more helpful but I haven't been on it since the end of April!

    Totally shut out. You won't have access until you get a call so you can complete the next lot before you start.

    Print everything off.

    You don't even get access until after induction after the call so good advice from Mop to print everything off. You do have access though until your 4 weeks is up, even if you have everything green and finished so you can look over it as much as you like until your prescribed time finishes :)

    Seems like everyone is the same way about it! Good way of testing people's enthusiasm in a way lol at least you know you're not put off at all and you're busting even more for it! Good luck with whatever stage you've got next! :)
