    I REMOVED THE LIST SO STOP CRYING EVERYONE !

    ANYONE ACTUALLY WANT TO TALK CONSTRUCTIVELY ????

    Dude, it's a free country. Post what you like. I'm just pointing out that your doing the leg work for someone lurking in the background. Why give someone not bothered researching a synopsis of what they need to do and know. They are not sharing what they are doing? They could do something we have thought about and get ahead on your advise, plus there own effort. I'm open to discussion with yourself via PM as you seen genuine. If not best of luck in interview and I wish you the best.

    It's your position number. It's in the email. PM if any difficulty finding it.

    Position reference is different to ID number

    Take everything you see on this thread with a pinch of salt.

    Some is useful information and a lot is utter nonsense, rumours and hearsay

    Make sure you can in no way be identified by your username.

    Focus on ur own application dont worry if people are stupid enough to share information about interview and application process.

    Matchstickman/ Tallglass2 judging by the information that was shared you will have nothing to worry about.

    Best of luck with the process

    For those who have completed the application, how did you add the passport photo? Also did you sign it properly or just type your name? I dont have access to a scanner :mad:

    Neatly cellotape photos to the application form, or better use ur local internet cafe and use the colour photocopier

    Need to ask a question without any backlash!
    Ive looked through the booklet and cant find the answer
    So asking here.

    On part 1 application form it has position reference number and it is pre filled in but underneath has please refer to candidate info book to obtain this number.

    Is there a candidate reference number in any of the booklets- i have looked but haven't seen it.

    I just want to double check if whats there is right.
    Cheers

    These items are pre-filled on the sheets themselves, I had asked the question too to them :cool:;)

    Same as myself nothing too mad though, any coaches here any tips or is anyone doing anything specific in preparation for the strength tests ? Did you Do the Chester test yet ? Admittedly I didn't do very well when I first did it I struggled for 80% but I enjoy it now , gonna start going beyond it now after Christmas all going well !!

    My best advise for you regards the Chester test is do it with weighted vest or a heavy bag in your back to get familiar with weights you need to carry some brigades either simulate weights involved in the job in these test some don’t but get comfortable with the weight to avoid a shock
    As for weights your tested by grip strength (there very little to do with training) one rep of 35kg shoulder press with a bar (from standing) a single rope push down of 49kg(with gloves) and a timed test of 20 tricep push downs of 23kg so build your arm endurance
    Best of luck to everyone

    So, do I need to print this out and scan it with my signature then or do they accept digital signatures?
    It's really not clear at all!

    Guys part 2 of the form it has the passport photo section.

    One would presume that the passport photo that was given in stage 2 of the tests will be placed here by DCC or do we place one and scan.

    I'm sure this may have been asked before but I've looked through the thread and can't seem to find it....

    It says refer to the Information booklet when putting your experience on the Application, however I can't seem to locate the ''Information Booklet'' I've checked emails and links.

    Can anyone assist please and thanks in advance

    It was basically just a reminder of the deadline. Maybe it wasn’t sent to those who had already submitted their application?

    There were two. One reminder and one instruction addressing the issues some were having over prefilled numbers and attaching photo? I assumed everyone got the same.

    No never got anything off them and they have my correct number too! What was the issue with photo? Was the photo we handed in on the day of the aptitude test not for that?
