Hi everyone,
So I received a starter pdf in an email and it mentioned about an email where you send a face photo for your staff pass,
The email is: [email protected]

Unfortunately the email keeps bouncing back.
Is there an alternative email or is anyone else facing a similar situation?
Thanks

It's depending on your checks for example if you have family members who have had run ins with police.
Mine took about 4 months but I know people who had it done within 4 weeks

yeah in that case if your vetting is done that clears that part the rest is just your references both personal and professional that part for me my provisional came through before i passed my vetting. The time between my reference checks starting and my final offer was about 8days

Ah okay. For me I have completed references and medical! And also vetting. After all the three were completed I then got the provisional offer. That’s fine I guess there just double checking before handing over the actual offer

What’s training like.

for me it was 4 weeks of classroom training (the first week was inductions into the course etc) then you learn how to use the system and what info you need to get. next was 8 weeks of coaching at the centre where you take live calls with the help of a coach. my final part was the help desk but i know this part has changed a bit since i did my training the help desk was basically an integration onto team, meaning you basically left to deal with calls by yourself but there was a coach/supervisor on the same desk to help if you needed it.
once you are on team at the end of it all your left to deal with calls yourself but you can go and find a supervisor if you do need some help
