Not found out yet no haha

It was basically eye sight, hearing, weight, height and a urine drugs test, I think it depends where you go to what they do with you because some other people had a lot more done then me

Is there like a minimum eyesight . . . er, proficiency that you need to have for them to accept you? It's just that I wear glasses.
My friend applied several years ago and he got accepted no bother and he was wearing glasses. I'm just wondering if they've maybe changed the rules a bit?

Also, I've finally gotten another interview date for June 20th in Portlethen

Hi Gavin. In my medical letter, it tells you to take glasses if you wear them.

Good luck!

Is that you been accepted onto this years intake pending the medical? When was your interview?

[muaythaigal]

Hi Mark

Yes I have been. My interview was on Tuesday 8th May and I heard back on the following Monday. When was/is yours?

[Nameismark87]

Mine was on the 17th of April, still haven't heard back. Tempted to give them a phone tomorrow to see if there's any news. Congrats by the way. What discipline are you going to be doing?

[xperty]

Mine was a few weeks ago. I got told that I wouldn't be hearing back for several weeks. It's just a waiting game now. Wish I new what I was doing tho!

[muaythaigal]

beats my gcse chemistry lol. i think they do like the applications from people with higher education. if you have a btec, NC, HNC etc you have an advantage. a friend of mine only just sat his aptitudes yesterday, seems unfair offering places before all interviews have taken place.

I have a HNC and haven't heard anything. I am sure there will be people with degrees applying too though.

Dont forget there are thousands of applications.. slowly but surely this number is whittled down to about 80 or 90 or so. competition is fierce. if i had the time and money i'd invest in a btec or hnc to strengthen my application next year. unfortunately time is not on my side as at 27 im having to resit maths and chemistry gcse just to be eligible to apply. manchester area are sitting aptitudes so there are many interviews to go yet.. there's plenty of time yet

They either lost my application or it got lost on the way.. she just told me to apply next year when I phoned.

Is there no other way to get into the industry? How do older people apply for offshore jobs?

I would accept the crappiest of jobs just to get in there and work hard to hopefully get a better position.. doesnt look like I can even do that now

[usualcat]

Thanks Buzzer55, I was wondering if I was the only one who's application they clowned up! Maybe the higher ups at OPITO would employ me briefly to do the actuary tables on that someday. Either way keep calm and carry on. Hope u do well in whatever you do
