What is the order of application steps?
I am wondering what order things are done.
1.Information Evening (where applic form can be collected)
2.Intial assesment on application form
?3. Assesment Day (Structured and formal interviews and exam)
?4. Medical
?5. Fitness Test
?6. Vetting/background check
Training

It's only 6 weeks from Assesment centre to start of training (according to info in the information pack) so just wonder how this all gets done in time?

It depends on when you have your assessment centre, as its not always 6 weeks. Some people can have to wait 3 or 4 months. However that said the last two intakes have been done and pushed through quickly. Vetting is done throughout the process and sometimes into your training weekends.
