Re: NGDPUnless it has changed from last year you rank regions rather than councils - since not all councils will have yet decided whether to participate in the scheme this year.(Original post by GdotL)
I was under the impression it's specific as they're all completely individual

Re: NGDPHi, I'm new to this thread, had a telephone call today saying I've made it through to 2nd stage and to confirm my email address (apparently been a problem sending emails to it). Does anyone know if there's anywhere we can log on and look at our application or our progress? I can't see anywhere on the website.

Re: NGDPCheers
I'm getting a tad worried, because I've still not received any emails yet even though I confirmed my email address yesterday and again today. I've sent an email to the address on the contact us part of the website and given them an alternative email address they can use to contact me (I don't want to keep phoning them in case they get annoyed!), so hopefully I'll get my emails soon.

Re: NGDPLast year we were able to choose 3 regional preferences. It purely depends on competition and which councils are participating. There is no section on the website to look at your application...there was last year. I'd phone them really...they should expect phone calls for a Grad Scheme. I know deferrals go straight to the interview stage anyway.

Anyone else still waiting on details of locations/dates for ACs? -

Re: NGDPI was sent information about the assessment centres about half an hour ago. We have to book ourselves into times and dates and it's first come first serve, so I would suggest doing it as soon as possible.
Does anybody have any information regarding the written exercise? -

Re: NGDPIs it only the written exercise then? The e-mail only mentioned the exercise as a specific task we have to do on the day, but then further down it talked about special requirements for interviews?
I'm tempted to leave the third location choice blank tbh. I can only really get to Manchester around that time. -

Re: NGDPThe way I see it is that this first stage will be a report. If successful, stage 2 will be a more traditional AC process including interviews, that will then be followed by LA interviews.(Original post by laura130490)
Ooo I finally got my email after 4 phone calls
Does anyone have any idea if the second part of the assessment centre is an interview? Or is that the next stage after the AC?
But who knows. -

Re: NGDPDid you do a two hour written test which you could possibly tell us about?(Original post by stormstar)
Im surprised its been put into 2 stages. Last time round it was just one day of Assessment Centres. We did also have information days which were...informative.
