Hey I have my written assessment today and my interview date is the same as yours, 30th of June in Leeds. sounds like a lovely idea to make a WhatsApp group.


I dont think anyone has set up a Whatsapp group yet (or if there is im not on it yet) but there is a facebook group

Hi Zoe, did you do your written assessment last night? I did and I was surprised with it, I was expecting a case study but certain I ran out of time!


Thank goodness someone else said this, I was writing for the full time and came away quite disheartened.

Hi, tbh I found it OK. I managed to get it done but time is against you. I don't remember what I wrote and there no way of reading it once the time is over, which is probably a good thing! I just came away from it knowing I tried my best. Don't be nervous, you're not expected to know everything, just follow the pcf and answer it as best as you can. You can do it 💪

Has anyone had any experience of having to change their assessment dates? I’m due to have my written test tomorrow but am currently in hospital, and found out this evening that I need to have an op in the morning. There isn’t an option to change the date through the link on the initial email, so I’m just panicking a bit.

Oh no, lots of well wishes. I suppose all you could do is email them and explain, or ring the number in the morning of possible.
Get well soon xx

Hello

I hope you interview went well. Can any one share the questions they asked? Are they hard? How does the assessment day look like? I found written assessment quite challenging.
thanks Kamila

Hi I hope your interview went well can you tell me what questions they asked at the assessment day ? I had my written assessment and found it bit challenging. I am quite stressed to be honest

Hi, exactly the same :smile: im leeds too, hopefully will see you there

I'm up for a whatsapp group

How did you guys find the assessment centre? People on the fb group seem to be very positive about it whereas I think mine went terribly. I am trying to consider my other options for qualifying, either through the OU but I would need my employer's support and I'm not sure I'd get it, or Frontline but it isn't yet known whether there will be a 2024 cohort. I'm gutted. I think I may have to think of a career change but I just don't know what else I'd do
