    That's really weird to drop that. Would be good to find out the reasoning as I always thought it was nice touch bringing your nearest and dearest.

    Yea I thought so to but they said there may be a day allocated during the course to family visiting? So I dunno lol

    Lots to read in the pack but I suppose much of it is simply expansion and clarification on points you'd already have known and considered fairly standard going in. All very real now. I cannot wait. Maybe it's just me but does anyone else feel they really need to get a lot of general personal stuff in order now in advance of when the all consuming training process begins. Like a deep breath before the plunge. I expect it to be almost completely demanding of our time for the next 5 months

    A conditional offer? Is this in case someone pulls out?
    I wonder how many conditional offers were made on top of people who got the actual call?

    Obviously we don't know the circumstances but it's mind boggling to me that people would go through everything in the last 18 months and then drop out.

    Congrats to all those starting in March.

    I think 101 and ask for recruitment is the easiest way.

    I'm assuming that we will get details after the induction.

    Pretty sure I read somewhere that online learning opens again after induction.

    Edit: found it. It was in the initial guidance booklet we got at the very start.

    'In addition, potential recruits will be expected to undertake a further 5 hours of online learning after attending the Induction Weekend. This material is mostly based upon the first week of training in the College.'

    Now you say this, they did advise this on the call. I just clearly didn't take it all in as I was too excited!

    Have you contacted them to see when you should get it? Just seems to be getting very late as it has to be returned before induction.

    Guys in the welcome pack in the forms to be completed there's an appointment date it asks for. Is this our induction date or our actual start date for training?

    I put down the start date, also I had to ring up the training college to confirm my car reg.

    I put appointment date down as the date they sent out the letter of appointment? Maybe I was wrong :/
