offer waiting time varies, from my knowledge of reading through the whole of this topic

Some people who excel in the interviews may receive an offer only say a week later, while others may have to wait months

ECITB start interviews in my region in June, that's all i know

Hey guys, first time poster here.
I recently had my aptitude test at OPITO, and I've been invited for an interview this Friday. Can anybody give any tips on what kind of questions they ask you and what kind of questions (if any) I should ask them?

Oh and my choices were
1) Process
2) C&I
3) Mechanical

I have applied and I got a letter saying they will be in touch soon for an aptitude test, but the email account I gave them is broke, do they send you a letter for where and when the aptitude test is?

Yeah I'm sure they send out a letter. If you're concerned you can always give their offices a phone and they should be able to either tell you the date or correct the email address you gave them

Well i sat my aptitude tests on the 18th of April, havent got a letter yet saying when interview is. Anyone wondering, Opito always send the essential information via post to the address you had on the application form. If you want any extra information from them then just give them a ring :smile:

I literally just got off the phone with them because I hadn't recieved my interview letter either and my interview's on Friday. So I'd phoned them up asking if they could give me the time and the lady, Maureen, said that the letters have been sent out and we all should've gotten them by now. I think maybe since Monday was a bank holiday the letters could be a bit late. :confused:

Regardless, she told me my interview was at 9, which is a problem for me because I have to drive about 150 miles to get to Portlethen! :eek:

Not looking forward to doing that at peak traffic time! I asked if I could possibly reschedule the interview but the receptionist said that Maureen will have to get back to me tomorrow.

Again, if anybody has any tips on the interview they would be greatly appreciated! :biggrin:

Well it might not be *all* the letters. I'm sure she said something along the lines of "Letters have been sent out, they should've arrived before now."

But yeah I just phoned the offices and it was the receptionist that picked up but once I explained what I was calling for she put me through to Maureen. Although looking at the letter I recieved after the aptitude test it's got Maureen's extension on the bottom it so I guess you could just phone that?
