I received the same email too. I wonder how many positions there are and what percentage of applicants are moved forward at each stage

i saw someone else emailed bbc about another apprenticeship and they said they had like 7 positions for that so im guessing its the same for this, i spent a while searching into PPTO and the popularity of it and tbh i dont think it has a large number of applicants (compared to UX, production, software engineering, journalism etc) so i wouldnt be surprised if all 3 of us here make it to the final stage

Agree re application numbers and fingers crossed we do. My worry is that there is likely to be less roles than the other schemes. Hopefully I’m wrong 🤞🤞

i've been seeing on the other forum that ppl have started getting rejections & seeing changes on their portals (process complete = rejection apparently) so i'm guessing we might hear back from them tmmr ! i keep checking my portal, im so anxious 😭

No news yet I’m wondering if it will be next week now that I’ll find out the outcome of my hirevue

Reply 14

its confusing cuz they did say we'd get the information this week, if they dont tell us tomorrow im assuming that there was some kind of delay

Reply 15

I assumed their hr/early careers teams don’t work weekends hence today being the day we would find out. 🤔

I have the same, but they told us they would let us know regardless, so it is a bit weird that none of us got any news for it yet
