To the above poster who asked how I found out I'd been 'bumped', - yeah it was a phonecall. I too passed in August so it's gonna be getting on for a year's wait to actually start and approximately 18 months since 1st applying!
Pretty disappointed to be honest but I'm currently self-employed so at least I don't have the headache of having to find work for 3 months.
Oh well, roll on May!
Good luck to everyone currently going through the selection process.
