    Ah right cool. They would want to do it quick. Especially inductions starting in 3 weeks.

    The next crowd will be doing their induction the week after the crowd who have gotten their offers ya see. So I'd imagine they will hear on Monday and that way they will have 3 weeks or so.

    I couldn't tell you all that was said was that not all the offers had been made. It's actually Mark010 who deserves the credit for this info as he was the one who contacted them.

    So accepted to the 11th april intake , thank god, was just wondering a few things.

    IS there still a delay in getting uniforms at the start, wll we need a suit/many suits with us?

    I know there's two one week holiday blocks you get during the 32 weeks, are these specifically for 'study' or can you book a holiday or whatever?

    Finally, whats the story with the rooms? Don't know much at all about them tbh. Do you get a toilet or ensuite and would it be acceptable to bring a small telly or games console or something along those lines?

    Cheers!

    Well lads for the weeks leave during the training. Do they expect you to do work during it or is it a week for yourself to have off?

    Good question, i've been wondering this too. Was half thinking of heading away for one of the weeks but not sure if we'd be allowed.

    It's entirely your choice, you're kind of expected to do some study, you may even get some form of written excercise to submit, but no one's gonna chase you down to see what study you did, that's all on you.

    Hey guys, I'll be starting on the 4th of April and I guess a good few more on here will be too! Congrats to the others who got it and I'm sure anyone waiting will get the June intake :-)

    I'm just wondering what ye suggest to bring with ye for the first week up there? I know there'll be info packs going out but have ye heard from anyone currently there who has suggested little things that we might not realise until its too late?? Is everyone wearing suits etc too?

    Finally, I'm curious if anyone knows the story with getting time off when in the college, besides the allocated weeks. I have a few weddings on weekdays and I'd hate to miss them(Best man duties). On the other hand I don't want to get crucified for requesting a few training days off if its a big no no.... One of them is mid April, so I don't think that would go down too well if I asked for it.

    Thanks lads.

    Bring a few shirts and jumpers and the likes. We waited 5 weeks for our uniforms. Other groups weren't waiting as long but just to be prepared anyway.

    You'll be in tracksuits for the first week anyway doing the induction. Make sure you bring the swimming gear. You'll be in the pool the first week.

    The swimming gear I know there has been alot of talk of these in previous posts on this thread but never really got clarification, should they be proper speedos as in budgie smugglers. Thanks for the info as always
