Grant Thornton 2024 Assessment Centre

Hey guys, I have just received confirmation of me passing the case study and potentially moving onto the case study (date not decided).
Could someone possibly share their experience in a recent Grant Thornton AC, what it entails, and any tips?

Much appreciated :smile:

Congrats! I’ve literally only gotten the email when I posted this (24th Oct). They haven’t given me a date yet and said they’re considering for the AC.

My number one tip is to get the Grammarly add on for your browser as this saved me, some ppl got rejected just because they missed a few full stops so don't be 1 of those types of people!
Secondly don't stress ,Ik this is easier said than done but you only have around 20-25 mins so split your time so you don't feel overwhelmed (I spent 20 mins reading and forgot to write which probs made me slip but the more time the better).
Lastly, be confident Ik u got this and just go in with a good mindset, let me know how it goes wishing the best 👍

Hi guys, on 27th November 2023 I received an email from GT stating that they are considering me for the assessment center & I have passed the case study. However, I haven’t received any update regarding the AC yet. I tried sending them an email asking for it but haven’t received a response yet. I have applied for January 2024 intake so I’m assuming that the ACs would already be taking place right now for that position. I am not sure what is my application status. Could someone help me as to how else can I reach out to the HR team either via phone call or any alternative emails regarding my query? Thank you
