Hyper when I had the talk with the fella from the afco after my aptitude test i was given a criminal check form that I have to fill in and a medical form that looks like it has to be filled in by my doctor - do you by any chance know if I have got to take these forms back with me to my formal ...

Hi could anyone tell me the stages for joining as a General Technician, after the aptitude test?

Ha I know! I did a search and couldn't find any!

Have to just wait and see.

Do you know the stages after my fiirst interview by any chance Hyper? Iv had my aptitude test and got my interview later this week, do you know what happens after that? Can't anything for certain.

Yes i have Hyper

It's just I wanted to hear from someone who has experience in the trade or knows someone who does.

I passed my aptitude test and now have a formal interview, so wanted to know a bit more about the trade etc.

Many Thanks

What trade you going in as, if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers for the info so far mate

ha i suppose i was asking for that

Cheers
