    I'm with OPITO now doing process in Aberdeen, we all stay in uni halls which wont be changing next year. Also I think a couple more disciplines might be moving up here next year.

    The course is good, the NC is quite easy, just started the HNC which is a lot more relevant. I found out I was on the course in the middle of June and had my medical at the start of July.

    Can you remember roughly when you had your interview? I had mine on the 11th May, at the moment im living by the no news is goods news attitude. The interviewer always says to be patient but i've seen some people getting accepted a week or 2 after the interview.

    I had my interview on the 17th of April, the first day of interviews, and still haven't heard back. Don't know whether or not to phone or just wait it out.
