Re: NGDPIt is at Warwick University you might be better off getting a taxi from the station Warwick Uni is huge and can take up to 15 minutes to walk from one part of the campus to another.(Original post by HighestKungFu)
I will also be at the Friday 3:45pm session
. Radcliffe House appears to be on the Warwick University site - am I correct? Also, I am travelling from London so I am just wondering if anyone else is and what is the cheapest way to get to Coventry Station is (i.e. which train line). If anyone has any advice please let me know.
Thanks! -

Re: NGDPSeems like the number 12 bus is an option. There is a stop in the middle of the main road running through the university which is a few minutes walk from Radcliffe House.(Original post by Apple_drops)

Re: NGDPDid you find it ok?(Original post by Presenttime)
Expect the assessment centre to last longer than 2 hours, there was a lot of waiting around between the two exercises, best of luck! -

Re: NGDPIf you get through the second stage, you are then invited to an Information Day at the end of the month where you put down your preferences.(Original post by ajs12345)
RE: Second Stage people
Do you get to indicate regional preferences at this stage?
Many thanks. -

Re: NGDPHello!
I'm attending on Tuesday. I obviously wouldn't expect anyone who has already been to give away anything which could prove advantageous, but just wondered whether it is worth preparing answers as you would for an interview? Or, are both the tasks based focused on a specific topic rather than talking about yourself? Was a bit thrown by the 'individual briefing'!
Thanks very much! -

Re: NGDPThere is absolutely no preparation you can do for the day, the tasks are based solely on the information they give you. Just turn up and do your best.

Re: NGDPThat's all the information we have at this stage - London on the 30th and Leeds on the 1st. If successful (we find out early next week) then the exact details of time/venue will be given to us.(Original post by stormstar)
No update on the Info Days?
I'm not sure what use that information would be to you atm, as you're fast tracked to the interview (I think?) I assume they'll give you the details at the same time they email the successful applicants from the assessment centre.Last edited by AP1989; 23-05-2012 at 15:17. -
