Passed my stage 2 assessment today. We started with 6 (10 no shows!) and were down to 3 by the time we got to DART.
The assessor said the last of the current process stage 2 assessments will be this week and the final stage 3 dates are throughout May. Everything else is on the new system which goes live April 1st but she recommended waiting a week or two for the teething problems to be worked through before applying.
