You only have an actual interview in stage 3. Stage 1 and 2 are just tests.
Just found out that FlyBe is now doing a direct flight from Manchester to Bournemouth which is excellent news for me being a northerner. It only costs £25 one way or £60 return including taxes and charges. Could be very useful for people going to the college for stage 3, or at the college wanting to pop home sometime. Seems allot cheaper than driving.
