Been speaking to Elizabeth Kelly today who deals with specials recruitment/other organising type stuff at HQ.. Apparently letters have been sent out to us all to let us know that training next Saturday (17th Feb) has been cancelled and won't be replaced by another day.

Just thought I'd give everybody a heads up 'cos I've not received the letter yet and wanted to make sure nobody turned up next week and sat around wondering why nobody is there

I'll post confirmation if/when I get the letter but for now I think it's safe to assume we only have next Sunday to go before we hit the streets

i take it that Sunday (airways) is still on.

If i dont get the letter tomorrow i shall make a call to see whats happening.

Yep - I asked and she said the Sunday was still on, but the Saturday was being cancelled and wouldn't be moved to another day. Apparently she asked the admin blokey/girly to send the letters off on Friday but he/she may not have gotten around to it straight away.. I think we should get them by tomorrow, though.

hmmm....thanks for the heads up. Strange that they are not replacing it with another day....

I spoke to a guy on the intake before us and he said core day 3 was when we did PDP's, guess we might just run through it on sunday...can't take that long...

[Bionicle]

I have just spoken to Elizabeth Kelly and asked the question about whats happening to our core 3 training and she is not sure if it is our group or another, she said she would look into it and get back to me. So do not make any plans for Saturday...

i shall keep all posted.









False Alarm

Elizabeth Kelly just called me to say Saturday the 17th Feb is still on.

so Saturday is core 3 training and Sunday is airwaves.

Looks like there will be 2 intakes there on 17th then. The intake I'm with starts on Sat 17th Feb (first aid) and Sun 18th (personal safety).

Look forward to meeting you all

Typical - here's me trying to be helpful only to end up talking a load of rubbish.

See you all on Saturday then, I guess!

Yeah, I heard there was another group starting the same weekend we finish - will no doubt see you all roaming around HQ at the weekend

Ignore post - false alarm! Training is going ahead.

On a slightly related note to the original topic - anyone from West Division going to HQ on Thursday night for IT training?

After posting this I just realised there's only 2 others on here from West Div, so I guess that question is aimed at Dave and at06

You know someone said to me yesterday that I was down for an IT course at HQ and then I had been taken off it because they thought I already knew how to use a computer. Mad. I'll have to do some research into this one.

Whoops, forgot Sleaford was in West Div now - didn't mean to purposely ignore your existence.

I think it's just a 'turn up' situation. There was one on Tuesday, and one tomorrow for those that couldn't make the Tuesday one like me (who didn't get the email til Monday, giving me 1 day to convince work I need the night off). Not sure if it's a divisional thing or if it's solely for us Lincoln'ers, though. Have you heard anything from anyone in Sleaford yet about any of your divisional training?

No, my sgt mentioned to me that I could go to some, but nothing specific. Have you?

At least he knows about it now - good job I texted him, he's already missed the station tour we had, if he'd missed this training he'd be in bad books before we'd even started lol

I blame Richard.

This training is an ongoing divisional thing, so you know, it's for all those within West Division, including Sleaford< Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Lincoln.

The training is basic ICT training, how to use the intranet, log on, routine orders, how to use NSPIS Command and Control (of which I won't talk about anymore!) and a few other basic things! It was quite a good night's training.
