The FPH's calendar says invitations for the assessment center will start going out from next week. See here: https://medical.hee.nhs.uk/medical-training-recruitment/medical-specialty-training/public-health/recruitment-information/recruitment-timelines

Regarding how long it takes to hear back about the results of the assessment center, last year, it took practically a month. The assessment center was on 12th January and results came back 11th February.

From what I've seen, people are getting longlisted and the 11th is test date

Random question about RANRA - is it with or without calculator?

Typically both - as the same email you receive via Oriel will also be sent directly to your email address.

My status has changed to longlisted but I haven't received an email. Does this mean I'll be invited to the AC or could it mean that I'm a backup?

I've received an email today from PearsonVue saying "The Public Health National Recruitment Office Team has requested a Pearson VUE Web Account be created to allow you to schedule and manage your exam appointments" with log in information, so hopefully you'll hear today as well! My Oriel application has updated to Longlisted but I haven't received an email from Oriel

no idea. does it show shortlisting or have your received an email like the above post?

I've received an email to invite to the assessment centre- but you can't book until 3rd Jan.
Hope others receive them first.
There is no "shortlist" at this stage- just all those who made it through initial application get invited to the test and this is called 'longlisting'.

Yes, I am. I got onto the shortlist for interview next year but I was 100th on the list- so no chance of interview.

Quick question has anyone got through to assessment centre but then not through any stages after that and then reapplying this year?

Yes, I did the assessment centre and got shortlisted for interview (meet the minimum standards). I emailed to find out where I was on the shortlist and I was 100th- so no chance of an interview.
I am trying again this year.

You can read about the stages on the FPH recruitment website (it is now held by health education) and read the FAQs- it's really good to understand the process before you go into this.
Yes everyone who gets through the application (i.e. oriel, has given sufficient information regarding entry and work experience) then gets invited to assessment centre. You then find out whether you've been invited to interview or on the shortlist or did not make it onto the shortlist (if don't meet minimum standards) at the end of Feb.
