Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme 2015

Should be yes as that was what I was told in an email yesterday as they were just finalising everything yesterday with the organiser.

Who's business in London then?

I am.

Which assessment centre did you go to?

Friday 17th of April in London. You went to the Cardiff one did you say?

I put all my options for location as "London & Reading". Keeping fingers crossed for London. Nothing against the lovely city of Reading, but Jesus Christ please not Reading..

No mine was in London. I want to be in Cardiff though, you won't be in reading unless you're doing the commericial one. The rest are all based throughout London departments. I would much rather be reading it's easier to get to from Cardiff every day. Only one train. Never works out that easy though

I attended the Birmingham assessment centre on the 23rd. Were you morning or afternoon?
I've still not heard anything either :/

I can sympathise. The way it stands I could very well be commuting 2hrs or so each way. Once everything is finalised I think it might be an idea for London-based people commuting in to have a think about the possibilities of flatshares etc. So far it seems like a number of us area bit stuffed in this regard.

It would be yeah they just haven't been very helpful in the sense I tried to change my location weeks ago

Arghh the wait is killing me!

I'd like to think I've been waiting patiently since about February and over 3 months later I'd really appreciate finding out where I will be working and more importantly when I will be starting!! Just in case anyone from capita is reading this

Good luck to everyone who still hasn't heard! Fingers crossed this week will be the week everyone finds out!

Hopefully they've set it up to send the emails 5 past 5 after they've left the office.

I would imagine it to be quite dear though, there was someone on here said a season ticket from Oxford was £5500 and that's only an hour journey!

Im the Oxford guy!
It is £4700 and £5500 with the underground.
for a coach, which is 20 minutes slower, it is £1100 excl underground, so Id be looking at 2k. If we are earning as much as what some of the individuals are suggesting, i woukd consider a flat share with others alike I think

You know if you could tolerate the coach and the delays that come with it £2k isn't that bad, I'm looking at £1500 just for London travel, albeit I'll be in zone 5 but still atleast you won't have rent to pay.

Im really considering it as it is a significant saving! Just the traffic on the M40 can be a pain and also as I get towards Oxford Street and Victoria.
I think I can the underground from Notting Hill Gate though straight to Westminster which would be a life saver! How long woukd your commute be from zone 5?
