National Probation Service Recruitment Process

Hi guys just had an e-mail similar to others:

'Thank you for your continued patience while we consider your application.

We are writing to reassure you that your application is still very much under consideration and we anticipate that we will be able to advise you whether or not you have been successful in reaching the next stage by the end of February.

In the meantime, we are interested in receiving your feedback on how you have found the recruitment process to date. Please complete the online survey here.'

Still not been offcially told that I have passed the decsion making test.

As a successfull candidate of pqip (currently 2 1/2 months into job my advice is no news is good news. It is a long process especially after assessment days. Good luck everyone

Could you please give some more information on the writtn exam

UPDATE:

I am about to start the academic part of the PQIP programme, ie university, alongside the day job. So things are set to get a little busy.
Happy to answer any PQIP related questions anyone may have, apart from specifics of the assessment day.thank you and good luck on your next stage in the PQip xx

PS: Good luck to those waiting for responses to their assessments. It is a long drawn out process, but keep going. Don’t be disheartened if you’re not successful on this occasion, reapply again / keep trying! Perseverance will pay off! :-)

My email is worded slightly different maybe because I have been told I passed the SJT?
This is what I received

‘Thank you for taking the time to complete the competency and online test.

Should I be worried that I haven't had a single email since receiving this:

''Thank you for completing your online Decision Making Test.

We are pleased to tell you that you met the required criteria and have been progressed to the next stage of the application process.

The competency responses that you completed as part of your application form are now being reviewed.

Yea I got a similar e-mail but eariler on around the 15th of jan which said the following:

Has anyone heard anything? Somene on the FB page has just said they spoke to recruitment this morning. Apparently some will hear today but majority next week or possibly week after.

That's odd...I got the second email yesterday about thanks for patience still very much under consideration etc. I wonder why some today..what was the last email you got?

I've not had a email since 15/02 saying pretty much the same thing. I applied 19/01 And passed the SJT a few days later. Feels like I've been waiting forever lol x
