Ye He...Got the call today and an e-mail to confirm.
Getting to work on those questions right now! I'm aiming for the 14th (next Saturday) my only problem will be getting to Southampton from N.Ireland, pending the results of my completed application, and the will of God that is.
Good luck to all who applied.

Application date
I'm trying to get my application in now, little late I know but been on shift all week and haven't been able to access the computer, still another 12 hours nearly over tonight and ever so slowly going mad!
First of all the computer keeps rejecting my application when I gt to the final stage of it (referees etc.) so I can't do the full application. I've sent an email to the address listed before so hopefully I can get it sorted. Anyone else had this problem?
What I really wanted to ask is does anyone know if it'll be a problem not being able to start until next May? Have to give at about 6 months notice at work so I can't realistically make it any sooner.
Good luck everyone...and here's hoping my f*&$%&g form makes it in eventually!

Turns out I was just being impatient and paranoid! (Two things which I only ever experience when applying for jobs!!) Having been away over the weekend I turned on my email today to find a reply from ctc asking me to complete the essay questions!!

I can't start until mid-June 2003 and it doesn't seem to be a problem as I got a positive response. The courses run every month with 6 people.

Anyone else from Central Scotland going down for the assessment on Saturday?
I was intending to fly down but with pending strikes by BAA ground crew, things are not looking good.
back up option was to get a hire car, if anyone is in the same situation as myself and wants a car share or has a better plan then let me know.
Cheers

Firstly, congratulations to those who've succeeded in the first stage of what will be a very long and difficult process! I hope you all continue to do well.
Secondly, to those who haven't heard yet, don't panic! As CTC-McAlpine need to fill courses that start soon, they will inevitably prioritise those who are available for the early courses. As Alpha Charlie has discovered, those who aren't available till later next year may currently wait a little longer for a reply. As the process settles down, and all involved get used to the procedures required, I'm sure that response times will improve. Right now, as you can imagine, they are inundated with applications! Just sifting through those that theoretically qualify and can make the early course dates is going to test them fully.
I understand from the company that they are intending to settle down to two complete selection procedures each month, all else being equal. As they start to get ahead of the game, they hope to be able to give you plenty of notice of your selection dates and, if successful, a choice of start dates.
A note to those who succeed at each stage: please let your colleagues here know what the procedures involved, how you approached them, and what you felt about things. I don't mean you to tell us what you wrote in your essays, for example, - I would hope that all of our wannabes have the power of individual thought - but just an overview of what to expect for those who follow in your footsteps. Can I suggest a seperate thread for this, as this one is getting a bit unmanageable!

Don't get too excited
A lot of people seem to be getting really excited about getting an e-mail back asking them to fill in essay questions. Everyone who meets the criteria will be getting a positive reply. Don't get your hopes up, over 800 people are expected to apply for the 24 easy places. The odds arent too good therefore! £160 is a lot to put down the drain especially when your a student, but what can you do, these companies have our hands tied on this one.
