i haven’t heard anything either! and my council had multiple times. there’s definitely stuff we can do now but a few different virtual events i went to mentioned quite long processes - half days/almost assessment centres - so i’m very keen to hear what type of activity im meant to be prepping for!

Anyone get allocated an interview at ealing council? 🙂
Me! Have you heard back from them yet? I haven’t☹️

maybe im jumping the gun, but has anyone looked in to the CIPFA modules offered to get a gauge on what they’ll study? To add to that, one of the councils told me that they’ve recently been helping some of their accountants do extra modules (corporate reporting) so that they could get dual qualified with ACA certification too. So essentially helping you be both public and privately qualified accountant. also, good luck to everyone here

For anyone with an interview at ealing council just wondering if we know if the interview will be an all day thing like at other councils or a single 45 minute slot? They didn't give much info ha ha

Anyone have any ideas on how to prep? what kind of questions were asked last year :smile:

Reply 574

What do you think the latest is to be reasonable to wait for the council to send further details after we confirmed our email time? 🙂

Anyone else getting a few emails of people withdrawing from Impact? Think that's people who got successful on other grad schemes?


Yes i’ve responded being interested in one council. When do you think they’ll let us know the outcome and do you think they’ll tell us if we’re unsuccessful?
