Re: OPITO Apprenticeship - Anyone?Hey Jay...well done to you for getting in (basically)!!!(Original post by JAYP91)
Can you remember what it said on your letter when they invited you for medical?
Well done for getting in!

Okay so I recieved a letter which said that they had offered me a place on the scheme subject to a satisfactory medical support, and that they would be in touch with me soon to organise a medical.
Then, less than a week later (I think), I recieved another letter telling me when my medical was.
So pretty much if you pass your medical, you're in!! Obviously you know what a medical entails (drugs, height, weight, colour blindness, eyesight, peak flow, hearing tests).
Good luck!!!! What discipline are you hoping to do?

Okey my letter basically says the same thing.
Drugs - i dont dabble in. Height - 6ft1 shouldnt be an issue. Weight - 12st. Colour blindness - im not. Eyesight - I wear glasses. Hearing is good. No idea what peak flow is?
Im hoping to do instrument control! What about yourself?

Re: OPITO Apprenticeship - Anyone?My interview was on the first day of interviews which was the 17th of April, so I had a long wait! I think it's all just done randomly to be honest. When was your interview? I was also told that I wouldn't hear until at least mid july, I think this is to just stop everyone from phoning none stop from june onwards! haha.(Original post by xperty)
I am going to pray a letter like that comes this week! When was your interview?

Re: OPITO Apprenticeship - Anyone?Yeah that's a fairly long wait. My interview was mid may. hopefully i will hear something soon. It's a good sign for you guys getting medicals though as they are spending money on you so they must be pretty sure you guys are getting offered a place or they wouldn't spend any money.(Original post by Nameismark87)

Re: OPITO Apprenticeship - Anyone?I'm from Aberdeen. If you get instrument I'm guessing you would just be staying at home rather than halls since the college is in Dalkeith anyways?(Original post by JAYP91)
