I'm in the same situation, I've booked for 3rd August the assessment and the hotel for Sunday 2nd August and got the same email...
And got the 2nd email too, but no better results than you, WelshPride, no dates available yet!!!
Who knows, maybe... someday...

I've got today another email and managed to book my test for 13th Nov!!!
No available dates in August, September & October!
Good luck for all!!

I'll be there too

19th-oct :ok:

Good luck!! :D

I was in work and only read the email two hours after it was sent. :( Luck is definitely not on my side!! Anyone know if any more dates will be released this year??

I'm extremely disappointed. Surely the people who had their dates cancelled next week should get first refusal?? Probably have to wait until next year now :( !!!!

Goodluck to all who will be attending the stage 2 assessments. I have a question about the stage 2 assessment for those who have already taken the assessment. Were you given a notepad and calculators for the tests?

SkyGuardian, you won't need any material to answer the tests. All you need to bring is your personal ID and (if you desire) a bottle of water. There's no need for calculator or notepad, as all the math envolved is pretty simple.

Good luck, everyone!

Thank you for the information Hanima.

Good luck to those who will be attending the stage 2 assessments.
I am also playing the waiting game as I wasn't fast enough when the email came through a couple weeks ago. I know it's anybody's guess, but any speculation for when there will more stage 2 dates?

Hi everyone! Long time lurker whilst going through the process, first time poster! I had my stage 2 assessments on Wednesday (19th) and found out the next morning that I've passed! Now awaiting an email regarding stage 3 dates (not holding my breath). Can any of the people who recently attended a stage 3 tell me what their 'you've passed stage 2' email said? The one I've received says they'll be sending me an email regarding stage 3 dates 'soon', I just wondered if this was an email they send out regardless of any planned stage 3 coming up, or whether I genuinely will be hearing from them soon? Cheers!

In my case, 'soon' meant waiting since January 2014 until June 2015 :rolleyes:

Did you get the same "you've passed" email stating they'd email you 'soon' with stage 3 dates? I only ask because my email saying I'd passed stage 1 made it clear that no stage 2 dates had been planned at that time, whereas the stage 3 dates one doesn't.

Looks like I need to settle in for the long wait!

Although it was a long time ago, I believe it was the same. But it seems things are moving faster now!

It does seem as though things are moving along more now! I'll keep my fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone else going through the process and to those awaiting the start of your new careers!!

Thanks for the input manusa.

I got the same email exactly one month ago, and haven't heard from them since. Given that the last round of interviews took place in June, and that the successful applicants filled in the vacancies for courses starting in September, December, and March (at least), I'd say they won't be having another stage 3 until this stage 2 is over. Unfortunately, however, they just postponed some of the dates for the FEAST and DART assessments, which won't be over until late November, so I'm not counting on hearing from them until then.

If I were to take a 'lucky' guess, I'd say they'll be reaching out to us sometime between January and March next year, to hold interviews for the rest of the 2016 courses. But I know as much as the next guy... ;)

I think, (hope) the same HANIMA.

I have my stage 2 19st OCT, and they have some dates in november, so probably they will put new dates to stage 3 in the second quarter, if a new course start in june, if not, the stage 3 will be like this year, to star the course in september, december and march.

Hi everyone!
I'm new here ;) Just got jealous reading the posts of people who passed Stage 3. Congratulations!!! :D Unfortunately I didn't pass it. But I'm not giving up. There's a few things to improve and I'll be ready to apply again in about 2 years.

Good luck to everyone who's waiting for Stage 2 & 3 Assesment Centres ;)

Hi

Can any of the people who recently attended a stage 2 tell me How long is the test? What time do you finish? about 3pm or 4pm?

Thankyou and good luck to everyone:ok::ok:

Hi megamc

We were done by about 1pm. However, only 2 of us passed the FEAST and went on to do the DART test, so I can imagine if more people passed then that time would get pushed back (you can't leave the room until everyone has finished).

Good luck!!

Stage 1
 

Hi all,

I'm new here. Just wondering how people found the initial stage one tests (verbal and numerical reasoning plus the error checking) and if you practiced before hand?

Also, how quickly after completing the test did you get your feedback to move onto stage 2?

Haven't seen anyone really talk about stage one or if it was difficult or not.

Thanks :)
