Not Bristol, am applying Cam, but have been waiting 15 days for mine so you’re not alone waiting!
Hey guys! Congrats and good luck to everyone! I’ve only just submitted my SJT (late i know). I have passed those and now have to do the actual application, quite nervous about the video part 😕 Any tips? x

They have just emailed me to say that they have my application but I hadn't submitted videos for 5 & 6 and to redo them. I emailed back saying that I had completed and submitted them and when I log into the portal it says "application submitted and under review". I now have to redo the videos 🤦🏻*♀️

Did yours work the second time around? I’ve got to re-do mine this evening

Hi all!

i wonder if they had some issues with the portal?

I've submitted my application on the 23/10, got the confirmation email. The next day I got the 'you've 24 hr to complete your application' email, which I disregarded and assumed all was good.

I've not heard anything since, it's been three weeks on Monday so I lost hope. I emailed them yesterday, logged in to the portal where it said that my application was still under review. I clicked on the 'application' tab, and lo and behold, it said something like 'congratulations, your application was successful, you can now book your assessment centre', which I did (17.01.24). Quite far away!

I'm kind of kicking myself for not emailing them earlier or trying to play around with the portal.

Anyway, I hope I've done everything correctly, and that it was indeed okay for me to book the assessment centre.

Funnily enough, I'm also waiting to hear back from Frontline regarding their assessment day, as I got through on there as well.

Good luck everyone!

PS.
If anyone is interested, South East was my first choice regarding location for both.

When I applied to think ahead I got the email thanking me and stating it was under review. A few days later I received another email saying that I hadn't submitted my videos and I had to resubmit!! My assessment day is next week 🤞🙏x

I’d either email them or log in to the portal to see what’s your application status.

I wasn't there but would love to know how you found the assessment centre and if you quickly found out the outcome? Thank you!

I’ve emailed already, still awaiting response and no change on the portal 😣
