I'm 24

I got one of the early phone calls, was asked my earliest start date for July ,got asked to complete the background check , exactly a week later I got emailed giving me a date for a medical for next week, so to be honest I don't know why everyone is complaining, my experience of cut-e has been good , a bit of patience would go a long way

Easy to say when your one of the first selected and know you have a job. Some of us have heard nothing and are waiting on word. If not successful we'd like to go looking for other jobs.

I'm 22, only contact with them I've had is the success email, phone call asking me my earliest date and that's it, havnt heard back from the about background check etc

I got my start date the 6th of july

How long after ur medical dos it take for them to contact you?

Yeah, still waiting for that info myself. I'm starting July 6th. You the same?

The people who got the start date of July 6th, when were you contacted to tell you that start date?

Got a call last week to tell me I'll be starting the 6th. The woman I spoke to had no other information about medical, training or location.

Also I passed my medical today so hoping for a call or email tomorrow to confirm date and location , ya would think it was Langley we were trying to get into , with all these hidden dates and locations haha

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say exactly but ye its a general medical nothing special or out of the ordinary

Jimd I am Kildare/offaly so surely I b portlaoise, can I just ask cod I don't understand the logic in their behalf

Ye were told you are starting the 6th before you completed the medical?

Or did ye ask if ye got by medical when you would be starting?

I can't understand them telling someone when they start when (hope you do) but you may not start at all

Do ye get wat I'm on about?
They have been so PC so far why change?

I presume so! But yeah I get ya iv no medical done but yet I have a start date let's say I happened to be colour blind that would be apprenticeship gone definitely should have a medical done before I got offered a start date but if ya think about it u the first email just said that we met their criteria and that they would like to offer us a contract subject to a medical and reference check so we never were really guaranteed but I wouldn't worry rgdajd I'd say u are the 6th aswell and theres 3 ppl that got a early start date that are in the Midlands I presume we'll have a day or two a week in a classroom aswell and there not gonna send ppl all over the country for that?

Just got my rejection email ah well

Yep got the email I was figuring I would get...it's a shame we didn't hear earlier..I had a post I turned down because I was waiting to hear back...oh well...congrats to anyone who got in and I hope you enjoy your time

All places are gone and have been since last few found out 2 or 3 weeks ago. Id say everyone has heard at this stage unless they are keeping a couple until medicals are done. I got email aswell. Show is over until next year.

Hoggyrs just looking at the first few comments on this thread did u go for this when you were 21?

Yeah I would of done but I hadn't a notion on the aptitude test at the time but have since been working in electrical contracting and I think that was my advantage this time round, both from a work experience point of view and from ability to actually to do the aptitude test.
