    after induction weekend I believe.

    Bigger question is..... the £19k salary (whilst in G.V) is the allowance added to that also. Or does the £19k include that? Or do you only get that once out of G.V?

    You'll get your transitional allowance on top of your monthly wage from the first pay package.

    It's just over £3000 a year. About £200 a month iirc. Oh, and it's tax free!

    So essentially you'll get your net pay based on the 19k or so trainee salary then this 200 a month added on??

    Congrats to all the folks who got the call! I bet you're looking forward to your induction weekend coming up soon and the joy of finally getting into GV! The first week is tight going for sleep and there's a lot of hard work to be done to prep for exams etc but you'll all love it! I take it you guys are all coming through from C2 and not C3?

    If you live more than 30 miles away you are automatically given a room for the whole 22 weeks. If you are closer than that then you will have to apply for a room to stay in after the first four weeks

    I am, aye. We're coming from the North, so its a bit annoying that he'll only be allowed in for a couple of hours. But heyho, he's a bit lad, he can keep himself occupied.

    Oh weddings. My mum has been on at me all day - you know the scene in my big fat greek wedding where they are discussing who's invited - aye. That was my morning. I must have told her 4 times the wedding isn't for 2 and a half years, but that fell on deaf ears. Thank goodness my other half is on my side when it comes to getting married on holiday!
