That's excellent that you're through and just waiting on the start date - wishing you the best of luck for your career!
I do have one other question - how long is the assessment day? Is it a full day? Travelling from Scotland, could I fly down and up on the same day or do you reckon it's more of an overnighter?
Appreciate that the finer details can't be disclosed - wouldn't expect you to reveal anything more than what you already have. Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Jonathan
There's 3 stages to the assessment day, you have to pass each one to progress to the next. If you fail the first one for example you could be done by 9am. If you get through to the final test you'll likely be finished by 3 pm.
Where in Scotland are you travelling from? I found it was much cheaper to fly to Gatwick and get the train through. The first time I went down my partner and I stayed a couple nights in Southampton to make the most of it. I would say you would have to stay a night but depends when the latest flight out is.
