Well you get the fast pass to the AC unless one of your schemes requires a maths test. So assuming the internship takes place between July to end of August then the fast pass will be valid for September 2020 intake.

That's what I thought! Wonder if they offer you alternative work during the year for those that have graduated, or if you just look elsewhere completely

Does anybody know the earliest start date for the SDIP internships? I'm looking to apply for other opportunities which won't overlap.

Probably not much help for organising other work, but this year some of us started mid-end June and others were as late as August.

Just submitted my additional info after failing at VI for two fast streams. Anyone heard any info about SDIP? Do we have any idea of time frames or the next steps?

Probably January before you hear back with results of submitting additional info. Telelphone interviews not long after that. This was the pace last year.

... and now we wait

Well I know I I am not the only one then time to study for telephone interview good luck everyone

So upon checking my portal every 2-3 days I realised a mistake. I did the answers all in microsoft word with grammar perfectly fine until I copied and pasted into the template, now as I did I forgot to put a space between two words which meant internshipprogramme ended being written as one word. Can't stop thinking about it.

I just hope this error isn't too costly but the stiff competition means my chances are less.

Does anyone know what they mean by 'potential challenges' in the additional questions stage? Is it the tangible problems or do they mean challenges the same as goals? Pls Help >.<
