    Your in the same boat as quite a few others, but nobody should be posting start dates on this forum as its a persec risk

    calls will usually go out every 5 weeks and if you look back on some of the last intake posts you should be able to figure out roughly when the next batch will go out although its not an exact science, Can I ask what range your AC score was in?

    You shouldn't post your exact score either, it can help identify you. On here it's best to be as vague as possible.

    You my friend belong in the waiting room its frustrating as hell but its part of the process I would imagine with a score like yours you should be hearing soon but its subject to budget and the number of applicants ahead of you, Has your vetting cleared?

    Best advice in that case is until you have an offer you don't have a job

    Trojan youll get about 5 weeks from your call until your start date although this campaign there's been a few late calls. Usually employers ask for as much notice as you're paid, so a week if you're paid weekly, month if monthly etc so the 5 weeks should be adequate for your employers unless they've asked you for a specific amount of time. If that's the case you could defer to the next intake or see if you can come to a suitable arrangement with your boss

    Hi Trojan.

    I'd say as long as budgets etc and intakes continue the way you should, you should be in the next 1- 2 batches. Fingers crossed and try not to think too much about it (easily said) until you start seeing the forum going crazy and a December intake thread started

    As someone who is in the waiting room now would anyone be able to help with a question about deferring a start date?

    ie is it possible?

    I understand time off is not available from the training period and would likely need a couple of weeks absense in around 7 months time.

    I was just curious as to whether deferrals were possible should you receive an offer of employment.

    It would depend on if there were any further intakes after you got your offer.

    HR would be in the best position to advise you.
