Ctc interview

Hey guys just reading up on the latest recruitment drive and wish you all the very best of luck! If it's any help when it came to the interviews I tried to memorise a list of answers/scenarios experienced in the past that demonstrated good leadership, management and team work ability. Maybe even try and relate them to a possible scenario on the line

Enthusiasm and an ability to discuss your answers and detail what you've learned from each situation you talk about will go a very long way in the interview

I'm off to the FTE assessment in a week. Can I find my original GCSE and A Level certificates? No

Before shelling out for copies that will cost a bomb and probably won't even arrive in time, can anyone confirm if they check the certificates on the day, or perhaps would they accept copies to follow? I've sent an email off but if anyone here has some info I'd appreciate it!

Haven't needed them in years and they've gone for a walk ...

A-Level certificates

I had the same problem FiiS, only with CTC. I was told that you can't attend the BA assessment at waterside without the FTO seeing the original certificates.

So you might want to try and get copies of them ASAP as they can take upto a month to be sent out by AQA and the other exam boards.

In my email invite to the assessment with FTE they specifically mention that the originals are not required:

a. Copies (not originals) of your academic qualifications, and certification of equivalence for non-UK academic systems

Interesting; OAA want originals, not copies:

Proof of academic qualifications as listed on your application – these must be original documents/certificates not copies, results summary slips or predicted grades.

Hi FiiS,

can anyone confirm if they check the certificates on the day
They do check them on the day itself and keep the copies for their records. So it is advised to bring them. Or send them an email and ask if it is ok to send them later (?). I needed to get NARIC equivalents for my non UK grades and FTE was ok with me providing them later (after) the assessment day.

Good luck.

At OAA, they want your original certs, but if like me (I didn't have one of my original GCSE certs), they don't need all of them until you go to Waterside. They simply said they were happy to take my originals, plus my copy of the one I didn't have the original for, but that I needed to request a new confirmation from my exam board by the time I should go to Waterside.

Hi everyone, is anyone else attending the assessment day at OAA on the 9th January? I'm pretty nervous as to be expected!

CTC assessment day 16th dec morning

Hi guys.

Just wanted to ask if anyone here attended the CTC assessment day on 16th Dec in the morning and was in the CLEAR group for the day?

It was nice meeting you all. Would be good to find out how you did if you're willing to share.

FTE payment

I had a problem when I was making the FTE payment and it looked like it was their server or website that was the issue but it was my bank / Visa that was blocking the payment.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

To reassure anyone without an original certificate.

I was told verbally that had passed a particular exam. I contacted my school twice and they denied I had passed. I then contacted the NUJMB and they sent a copy by return. This was forty years after the event!

Just discovered a bit of an issue that might go against me, it seems a few years ago that my school/exam boards made a bit of a mistake, now I have all of my GCSE grades in script form, and I have some certificates, however I do not have all the certificates

Therefore I do have proof of my grades, however they are not all certificates, will this go against me?

Okay so I read the above post and felt a bit better, going to get the ball rolling and get more certificates sent out but take what I have to oxford, along with a letter from the school that says the certificates are on their way, fingers crossed it's enough!

Do you guys and gals not get issued with the maroon folder full of your school GCSE/O Level and A Level certificates any more?

Yes. But in my case I had a remark and never got an official cert with my new grade on, just a piece of paper from the exam board.

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone knows whether for the physics part of the testing at FTE we need to know physics theory and be able to answer wordy questions, or will it all be numerical questions where we just need to know formulas etc?

Cheers!
