Just done the OAA assessment with some strong competition (based on group ex and background). Told that we were unlikely to hear before Christmas.
AFAIK none of the OAA attendees over the last few weeks have had a rejection. That they are only just inviting candidates, whom they originally considered submitted weaker applications, suggests that there have not been enough overall performances that ticked all the boxes. OAA are competing with FTE and CTC and if at Waterside their candidates perform better then OAA will lose out.
