Hopefully not much longer as I'm waiting to book my celebratory holiday haha! Do you know how many days per week they require office attendance on your scheme? Think mine is 3 days a week but not sure if we get to pick which days

Haha celebratory holiday :biggrin:

, nice, have fun with that! Sadly I'm not going to be able to catch a break this summer, my MSc finishes in september this year.
I think with flexible working they did say 3 days, at the assessment center I heard from a current grad, for engineers, they typically have no reason to come to office, like most of it can be done at home. I'd guess you can pick which days to stay at home if it's 'flexible'.

Oh wow that sounds intense!! Just think of the generous holiday allowance you will get once working for them though 😄 where abouts are you living? I guess it doesn't really matter for you if you don't have to go into the office but I'm living in Birmingham with family in Cardiff so I can commute from there on office days 😌

Hi I've had my provisional offer but from reading previous threads I'm worried about how long pre-employment checks will take

Hi all,
I got an offer for the graduate scheme DE&S Engineering (Aircraft Systems and Platform) about 2 weeks ago, had my AC on 20th February.
Anyone else on engineering?

Btw last year's thread wasn't particularly active but the 2021 one was very active, lots of info there for anyone wanting to read more.

Hey!

I'm also currently being vetted for the Aircraft Systems and Platform scheme. By any chance did we attend the same assessment centre? Mine was on the 28th February.

Hi, my assessment center was on the 20th February, MOD Abbey Wood right?

Ah different dates then, and yep it was MOD Abbey Wood.

I've only come across one other Aircraft Systems applicant so it's nice to find another one! Looking forward to meeting you if and when the clearance security clearances are finished :smile:

Hello, I’m another that’s waiting for everything to go through, wondered if anyone was moving down to Bristol and had any info on housing/accommodation.

Hey, I'm moving down to Bristol too and the housing situation is becoming a bit of a nightmare! Have you had any progress with it?

Hi guys, noticed there hasn't been an active thread for a couple of years.. just on the off chance is anyone out been made a provisional offer?

Hello,
I have been invited to the assessment centre for an interview at the end of the month and was wondering if anyone has any tips for it. I have been searching for information online to prep for it but it’s very limited. I am particularly anxious about the presentation part as I do not know what to do for it. Please may I have some advice from anyone who has been through it or is going to go through it soon?
Thank you :smile:
