Just know people


I hate people like that..

I could come in and say 5000 applicants so far - 10 will only be accepted.
I have a friend who is the head of Opito -_-

So yeah, won't be taking your word,
Dean

Chill out dude, ever heard of advice?
Hey all, new to this. I've applied to Opito for the first time, currently studying a course in Pneumatics & Hydraulics at college, having previously been in the Merchant Navy. Received my acceptance letter for my initial application and waiting to hear about test dates. Anyone heard more information regarding this? I'm from Glasgow and I am asking as I may have the opportunity to work abroad for a month or 2 in the summer period but would like to know from people with previous experiences applying would the application process run through into the summer months or could it all be done by then? Obviously my Opito application is my main priority though. Any advice greatly appreciated, Andy

Aptitude tests run all summer depending on where u live, u get results 2 weeks later, if u passed all units u get one interview a few weeks after; if u get thru that interview u get another interview with the HR people from the company sponsoring u, if u pass that, u get a medical- colour bind test blah blah- if u pass that, u star college in September :smile:

I couldn't go on holiday last year cos i didn't know when my test would be or my interviews, it's stupid really, after spending all summer stuck in Scotland i still didn't get it :frown:
cheers pal, so the tests could begin months away..? rather get them done asap lol

I think it depends on when U apply, but I'm not sure. The process draws on forever and they don't give definite dates for anything, they seem to set dates after each stage. Just don't plans ur holidays yet :tongue:
