Thanks for your kind words but I’ve given up hoping, especially as they did the same thing the last time I applied. It’s a horrid way to treat people who’ve put time and effort into their applications, needless to say I will not be applying again. I’ve been unsuccessful, it doesn’t take them two seconds of common decency to send a generic email confirming it.

On another note, no they didn’t request reference details on the initial form.

Thank you. Hopefully you hear back soon. The waiting is horrible.

I had this issue and when I asked they said I could upload an image of the confirmation that I’ve ordered the certificates until they came and then upload the certificate under the section that said other :smile:

I've been waiting ages to book onto the AC. I emailed them yesterday and they responded saying I would get a date in a few weeks so there is plenty of time x

Congrats to everyone who has been successful! I had mine yesterday and the more I think about it the more I am convinced I've messed it up! This is going to be a long and painful wait..

I’m sure you did really well, hopefully you won’t be kept waiting for as long as I have. It’s so wrong the way they inform people who attended later AC’s that they were successful. Clearly a good degree and several years experience in the same sector amount to nothing.

Maybe you should contact them to check? Seems as though you should have heard back by now.

I had mine yesterday too! I’m over thinking every single thing and also think I completely messed up the interview. One of the first questions threw me off then I couldn’t stop thinking about it for the other ones! Good luck to everyone :smile:

I emailed them yesterday to ask why I hadn’t heard back when people who attended AC’s after mine already have, and was given the typical generic response of ‘10 working days, email us again if you don’t hear back by then’…no answer as to why they aren’t letting people know in order of AC date. Disgusting way to treat people who’ve gone to significant effort and expense to attend the AC.

Honestly, if they have time to respond to my email, they have enough ****** time to give a yes or no!

Have you had the AC booking email yet? Not sure if it’s done geographically, and they have to wait for enough applications from a particular area, or if I should be worried that I’ve not heard anything for two weeks!

I've not had anything yet either, I emailed them and they said I would have the email to book "in the next few weeks".

Have heard back yet.

Unfortunately not. I won’t be applying again, because they clearly aren’t short of Social Workers!

Still, a couple of days left on the time frame. Fingers crossed. X

Those of you who have had your conditional offers. What have they asked you for in terms of your references?
My email was a pre-conditional offer as I am self employed and I have replied but they haven’t got back to me yet and I’m worrying what I have suggested won’t meet their requirements
