Yea, that would have been ideal!
I think I'll definitely be going the night before to save the stress of traveling down the morning of the assessment day.

Does anyone know what hotel hmrc are putting us in, as it would be easier if I can book the same one the night before, save packing and unpacking? :smile:

I'm not sure if you can book it privately or not? It's on the university campus. I'm a bit worried about finding somewhere to park my car...

I was at the Warwick AC last year and you're put up at the conference centre hotel on site. Evening meal and breakfast is provided on site too. If you're coming by train, Coventry station is closest and a £10 taxi or there is a bus.

For those at Lincoln AC it's at the HMRC staff college which also has on site accommodation and restaurant. It's a few miles to the north of Lincoln, so leave plenty of time to get from Lincoln station to there if going by train.

I've got mine on the 17-18 of feb. Has anyone had any info about what the assessment centre entails? Or has anyone who has been on one before provide a brief outline?

Thanks

Hi Adam, mine is 17-18th too, in Warwick. I have not received the Guidance for candidates yet, but I think they said we should get them beginning of this week.

Yeah, same here. there is a video on the HMRC facebook page about what to expect, but it doesn't seem like there is much we can do to prepare...

Just had a look at the doc of what to expect, doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary but also doesn't look like there's much we can do to prepare either. I can't decide what to wear either, the document says to dress in something you feel comfortable in and that you won't feel self-conscious but it's natural to want to dress smartly.

Joggers and a hoody for me then. Can't get any more comfortable than that.😜

I would definitely still dress smartly as most people will and you will look professional

Yeah I was planning to but just not sure how smart to go kind of thing. Still plenty of time to decide anyway.

That AC centre will entertain us all day long. I agree we need to dress smart. Question: Can we check in before we attend AC or we have to carry all the luggage? BTW, I check on the mail they said the closet station will be Canley, 3 mins away from the Coventry main station by train. Does anyone know if there is any bus pass through?

If those of you can take coach, or even mega bus, it seems the coach station will be next to the campus on the map. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I'm also heading down to Warwick on the 18th/19th from Glasgow. Debating driving and travelling down the night before and getting a hotel.

I only just discovered that I'm on the reserve list. Missed my emails from 2 weeks ago! I know my chances aren't great but I feel like I should start preparing for the AC just in case. Does anyone know how they plan to prepare for this??

Also concerned how I'm going to there at last minute as I'm from Glasgow....

I can't for the life of me track down this Guidance for Candidates booklet. Could a lovely person upload it to this thread or explain how I find the 'Communication Centre'? :smile:
