Border force officer January 2023

Hi! I applied back in March and was given my provisional acceptance in April, I’ve passed everything, and am now on my additional pre-employment checks, which I’ve been on since July. Does anyone know roughly when these will be completed? I know it seems that it’s mostly a case-by-case sort of thing, but does anyone have any rough ideas? Many thanks in advance.

Hi Mate.I am on same time line as you.Since 21st july I am on Additional pre Employment checks.I got My sc clearance and PST training clearance, so just waiting for ASC checks.It’s been 10 weeks already so hopefully not long.Did you apply for Heathrow as well?

Starting tomorrow in Manchester. Good luck everyone

Hey there, yep that’s exactly the same as me, Heathrow too! I forgot to mention that in my initial post. I’ve just been constantly checking various online forums like this to see how others are doing, but it’s definitely a lot more easier to go through when others are going through the same thing. Hopefully it’ll be soon, good luck!

I won’t be applying, they can stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, if you read the advert there is only 21 jobs, so most if not all successful candidates will be placed yet again onto yet another reserve list

Did you hear back about your training yet? I started a month ago and they told me there are no training courses available until 2024! I don’t know what I’ll do until then as there’s only so much shadowing I can do!

Strange, I am starting in November at Heathrow and they have booked me training according to the normal schedule. My training does require three weeks away from base so I am suprised.

Good morning,

For anyone waiting back from Manchester just an update. I got an email today 3rd October saying that additional security checks are now complete. I got SC on 31st July so it's been a bit of a wait.

Is the training immigration? I started a month ago and I’ve been told my immigration/ customs training won’t be until 2024. It makes no sense as people who haven’t started yet are getting training dates. I’m not sure whether to raise it or just wait. I am enjoying shadowing and observing but there’s only so much you can do and it’s making me feel pretty useless!

What date do you start in November as I do also, but been advised after 3 day induction it’s a one week shadowing at LHR before commencing training

Who/where did this information come from? The team at LHR?

Hi everyone, I have finally received the email saying I have passed my ASC1 check which means that all my 3 checks are now completed. However, does anyone know what would the next steps be? My portal is showing pre-employment checks in progress at the moment. The email which I received for the ASC1 completion does not have any information regarding the next steps. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you!
