My mate got right to the end then they said he cant have the job because he doesnt drive lol.

That's odd because they said if you can't drive and you get in they teach you to become a 'light driver'

That's odd because they said if you can't drive and you get in they teach you to become a 'light driver'

He told me he passed everything then at the end they said they would of given him the job if he drove.

Maybe they could of taught him but he would still be facing the problem of not having a car?

Hes moved house now like within 2 mins walk of the firestation so he says he's going to reapply and said he shouldnt have to do all the training shizzle again.

Just going off what he tells me at weekendz.

well done mate, what was the first phase that you had to go through? where you were in the 20% that got through? im just curious as to what 80% of people could fail at lol

Netsky1991

31st March 2009, 14:02

First phase is the PQA's (Personal qualities and attributes)

Well I recieved my results from the physical assessment and I did not get through:n:
Really don't know what to do now for a career, was thinking of taking one of them home study courses for interior design but dont really know enough about it.

Unlucky mate, what happened? were you not fit enough or did you just miss somthing. Can you not go back and take it again?

Saxo_theedge

1st May 2009, 08:43

quick question- i know it sound obvious, but do they do some kind of eye tests? how good does your eye sight actually have to be?

CampDavid

1st May 2009, 08:43

Shit luck. Still, you're still young, can you not re-apply?

Netsky1991

1st May 2009, 08:45

Unlucky mate, what happened? were you not fit enough or did you just miss somthing. Can you not go back and take it again?

I'm not sure tbh mate, I completed all the tests but at the begining they told us that each test has a different time limit you have to complete it in but they didn't actually tell us how long so I probably did not complete one of them in time which sucks!

Netsky1991

1st May 2009, 08:46

Btw does any one know about interior design or know an interior designer because I am really interested?

Fucking gutted mate.

Congratulations on making it through the 1st stage though. I couldn't even manage that and I'm far from thick.

You need to try again, don't give up on it. I believe you can reapply again after 3 months.

Good luck!
