    I see, yeah I didn't think so, just wondered if anyone had. However, if it is a GSCC requirement then fair enough, it makes sense! I've applied to Bath, York, Winchester, Birmingham and Gloucestershire. Received an invitation to interview from Bath today, haven't heard from any of the others.

    You have a conditional offer meaning you must have life/work experiences and come across as mature. I'm a mature student... my child is almost your age, I have mountains of experience but useless in interviews.
