G4S 2012 Olympics Job

Hi Did anyone find out if you would need to attend the additional sia training in the weekend if they already did the sia door supervisor course.

Is this further training that is different? I am trying to find out. But the telephone line is busy.

i have done the DS course and passed it, they said you need to do it again due to job circumstance but then its the same stuff.

Around how long does it take or you to be fully trained for SIA and your specific role? Basically I'm still waiting for acredidation and wonder if I should bother relying on this job coming through or just give up and look for alternatives

Also, does anyone have these documents

Please carefully read through the document called "JI Covering Letter for Romford Rd" (*) for more important information.
Please follow the vital instructions in the Welcome Pack, "G4S Welcome Doc Romford Rd". (*)

I wasn't sent these and they're not on my Secure Trax login.

Does anyone know what PSA/OSA Screener is?

That's great. Thank you. Can you use oyster cards from Stratford to Forest Gate?

PSA = pedestrian screening area
OSA = occupant screening area

screener = body searcher

Just waited an hour to get through to an advisor!

Explained i already had my SIA licence and the advisor mentioned that since this morning they have been made aware of a fault on ther system where people with a licence are getting sent invitations. He took my SIA licence number (Again) and told me not to attend the dates. I had already accepted the dates in the email, but he said this wouldn't matter. He will now forward my details to the licence department (Again..) and in his words 'escalate' the issue. A nice bloke to be fair, yet it seems g4s are having real issues with organization and the computer system in place. He called me back 5 minutes later asking for my licence number, even though i have already supplied this to them on two prior occasions and was told both times it was on the system.

At this stage i have now completed all training by the looks of things. Screening and vetting passed weeks ago, yet still no mention of accrediation/uniform/start date.

Another worring issue for me is that some people i have trained with at psa training have already done bits of work for g4s at other functions. I wonder if i have not been offered work because the computer system fails to aknowledge i have an SIA licence?

"Computer says no". Frustrating.

Hope this helps and please can anyone quote me and post if my situation is the same as yours. All information is appreciated.

Thanks.

is anyone else waiting for accreditation to get back to u's?
"Screening Complete/Sent to Accreditation" Ive been waiting for weeks/months lool although i have started working i need the pass before the games :/

I'm at the hotel in Stratford now, bloody nice! In the brand new Westfield centre basically! Going to the training tomorrow at 8, anyone from here going to be there?

Yeah what time do we finish? is it 5?

Does anybody know their G4S Payroll number yet? Thanks in advance for your help!
