RSP_2407,
Past experience tells me that FTE normally send you an email (not very detailed) indicating your weakness(es) in the phase 3 assessment and outlining your options which normally means a direct rejection from FTE or go to Jerez and retake some of the tests if they feel that you can improve on the weaker aspects of your ability. So I wouldn't really expect a courtesy phone call, just an email.
It has also annoyed me too, being notified at the last minute and thats AFTER I had called them otherwise I (we) would still be waiting with tainted hope.
I think I've had enough of applying to schemes and getting the feeling of constant disappointment as well as being stuck in a rut.
Just get on with it is what I say...
All the best.
