Recruit application and assessment centre sticky 2021 - all related chat in here

Did you get the message or notification for the AC?
If yes, did you have your health checkup before inviting to the AC?

What message are you talking about? To answer your 2nd question, I recieved my medical and opticians forms and sent them to Army medical centre. They then judged these and invited me for AC. I didn't have to get a medical check up beforehand, they give you a full medical on the day. Cheers

Oooh, so they invited you for AC. Could you please tell me the date you sent your medical and optician forms if you remember?

It was around 2 weeks after I first applied online mate. Can't remember the date.

Hi all, I have my AC next week and was wondering if you can go for a job role different to your first choice when you go through your results at the end of the assessment?

I go to glencorse on the 4th of march with the covid restrictions what should i expect, tia

I would speak to your recruiter about it mate. I can’t imagine it should be a problem unless they say something about it. Just get on the phone to your recruiter (not capita) and explain your situation

If a civilian then your recruiter is Capita. Who do you propose they talk to then ?

Facial hair for assessment, yes or no?

I would personally go looking presentable so make sure it's neat facial hair mate. It's one day assessment so I wouldn't be too hung up on it though as they do not care hugely. Just look like you care about your appearance!

This is almost a couple of years ago but I doubt it has changed much.

My AC was 13/01, I start basic next week. The whole process was smooth though. Not the same for everyone

Cheers for the reply, what are you going in as? Hoping less than a month for me too

Completely depends on the role you're going for dude. My assessment is in march and I've been told next slots will only be available late June for my roles.

My AC was last week and my start date is in May, as said above it seems to depend on if there is space for you/your role on the intakes as others who did AC with me got start dates within a few weeks

No wasn't that hard, I just tried revising all of the subjects on bitesize and should be easy enough to pick up the marks you need for your role

Any one has assessment in April ?
