I deferred from April for college and received offer that I accepted for July intake.

But I am just one example, so don't take my word for it.

What was your reason for deferring ?

College, to complete final year exams in May to complete my degree.

When you asked to defer did you get the same email saying your not guaranteed another spot? And when did you get the next offer?

Cheers

I deferred April too and got an offer for July in early May. When I initially deferred in April I also got the 'we can't guarantee you'll get another offer etc' email, but I think that's probably just to cover themselves for all possibilities.

Hi all. I am meeting my local superintendent tomorrow and was looking for advice on what it’s like and what sort of questions he may ask. I’ve heard it’s more formal than meeting the inspector, suit and tie?

Hi,

Mine wasn't particularly formal. I wore a formal shirt no tie. Felt like a chat more than anything, although I think if there is any issues in your vetting that's where they will be discussed.

The meeting with the Super will be your last bit of local vetting. Unfortunately the remaining vetting can take anywhere from a few weeks to years (in some extreme cases).

No need for any documentation unless you have a pre-existing condition. All you are required to provide on the day is your GP’s contact number & address

You’ll have first half over by say 11/ 12 depending on what group you’re put into (about 7 in each group). Then you’ll sit and wait until about 1 / 1.30 pm for the next half of the day. All finished up about 3.

Up to 6 hours if you’re unlucky enough to be placed in the last group. Testing starts for 1st group around 1000.

Hey, would anyone here know of any dates been offered yet for the physical.
I've read someone say the 21st - is this the earliest and also likely to be the last? Thanks

Nobody knows for sure of all the dates and/or the last ones honestly.

Can't be certain about anything really - I don't think anyone has been offered the 2nd week therefore we can't really know if the 1st week is full.

Also offers seem to come in dribs and drabs, there doesn't appear to be a set pattern!!

Not sure if this helps but I did my fitness test recently. One of the guards that was working there on the day implied that there was spaces left for July but again not 100% sure which week.
