I've had an email confirming unsuccessful. It also says feedback is available via the portal and the minimum to get through was 16 so mine must have been really poor!

I can't see my feedback yet, however - very intrigued!

Does anyone have an email contact for the team? I am out of the UK at the start of the assessment period and wanted to contact them prior to the dates to try and avoid getting one of they dates

Wow so there were 6 competencies being assessed and I scored 1 against all of them! I am seriously gobsmacked. Scoring a 1 basically means you attempted an answer but there was absolutely nothing of substance. I've never scored that low in my life - already working at HEO level! Really frustrating there's no more detailed feedback. Gutted.

Same here I am unsuccessful and score 6 x1's.

Can't believe it tbh, found the interview tough enough but have had two HO interviews in the last 18 months and not scored lower than 4 in any competency. Suppose have to take it on the chin

Mine is saying the same. 1 in each question. Although I’m on the reserve list. So I’m inclined to think they haven’t uploaded them correctly....

How did you see this?

It’s on the feedback tab on the portal.

I've got a feeling that they are only doing feedback for people that have been unsuccessful.

im on the reserve list also which means I must have scored at least 16 and mine is saying 1 for each too. I dont think these are correct.

Ditto. There must be an issue.

Here’s hoping we can get a place at the A/C Kaylgard :smile:

Were we not assessed against four competencies not six?
That doesn't seem right, maybe an error?

I got exactly the same. I'm thinking they probably only watched the first video :-(

Yeah - the max score is 28 so it was definitely only 4 competencies. Must be an error.

The email says you can view your total score on the portal individuals scores for each questions and additional feedback is not available

I still can’t see my score though
