I applied last December and found out in January that I got through to the next stage (Stage 2). I was advised in writing that not to expect Stage 2 until April\May and not to call them, they will call me to advise of dates etc.
Well its now the 8th of May and I am still waiting! I guess they must be very busy and from I have heard there has been a lack of spare places on the AQC course for ATP scheme guys which is why the process has been very slow.
If anyone is in a similar position to me or has recently been through Stage 2 I would like to hear about it
