    Just to check, is it just the one page we have to return at this stage, then bring the rest to induction?

    I'm not part of your group but no, you don't stay there! Not a silly question though when some people have a really long way to travel. You're right with what you said about info though, you'll certainly find out a LOT when you get there! I would recommend bringing pen and paper actually just to maybe take some notes, I didn't and kinda wish I had just so I had a better record of what went on and what was said. Good luck!

    Hi, guys got the call last week.
    Has anyone received any information on the HPDS with their packs?
    Does anyone know what the cut off mark for consideration is?

    Thanks

    I'm part of intake 4 so I've already been to an induction weekend and there was no mention whatsoever of the HPDS. No one asked about it at ours but don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have to the staff, they were all great and no question was too silly or out of place, I didn't even get laughed at (too much :P) when I asked did the men need an army style skinhead (no, they don't for anyone who would also like to know lol your wives and girlfriends can rest easy!).

    Thanks Dutch,

    I was supposed to be part of intake 4, but injured myself playing footie and had to put the pca and medical dates back. It was a nightmare.

    When we are actually training do we stay at the college on the weekends or do we get to go home and blow of some steam?

    Thanks

    I hope so!! It's the not knowing so many things, and not knowing a single person there. We're going to spend 22 weeks with total strangers and even live with them for a month!! I keep worrying that you're all going to be a bunch of tossers!!! Lol 😜

    I got my call on Tuesday and my pack arrived on saturday. If yours doesnt arrive tomorrow maybe give them a call just to check up on it. I'm sure everything is fine though.

    I'm going to bring the wife along for a nosey. Hopefully the 'refurbished' rooms are half decent. As long as they are warm with good wifi I'll be happy.

    I don't actually think they've got around to getting WiFi in the accommodation block rickmar! One of the sergeants at the induction for Intake 4 said it's in the pipeline but they don't know when it'll get done. Seemed like there's plenty of access round the rest of the place though.

    the wifi can only be used for course material as well, and wouldn't get the hopes up about the refurbished rooms ;)

    If those are the rules then so be it.

    So this means you have to get a 4G enabled phone (whats the best prepaid deals for phone data in NI ?) and can then look up whatever you want , chat with home etc right ?
