Application sent but no e-mail received in return-should I be worried!?

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Did you read the preceding posts?

I would send it again with an explanation that you are unsure if it was received as you didn't get the confirmation email.

Resend it if that is the case

Hi first post, ive got my form away. Does anybody know when the eyesight or opticians side of things comes into play, is it during the medical

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

You will be asked to bring eye test form to the next stage if your successful on application. Will all be on the email you receive.

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Fadsie, cheers for the reply. Though I think I might be out o luck, I meet the eyesight requirements no probs unaided and aided, but I havnt been wearing contacts for 12 months, if the opticions part had been near the end of the process id have been alright

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Just to say best of luck to all those who have submitted an application this time round.

Counting down the days till the 20th, hoping so much for good news, would be gutted to fall at the 1st hurdle.

bute123,

You don't have to have been wearing contacts for 12 months. As long as you meet the unaided standard you can wear glasses to meet the aided requirements. I've never worn contact lenses but passed the eyesight test without any issues.

Hi all,

I have my application in and waiting to hear until april 20th.
Does anyone know what the PEE consists of?

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Hi Martin,

I too am waiting with everything crossed! The PEE appears a mixture of numeracy and literacy, there are sample tests on the Step Forward website which, although from previous posts appear to be in a different format to the PEE itself, will at least give you an idea of the sort of thing.

There are 4 tests, you put in your email address, complete them in the allocated time and get your results emailed through.

Best of luck.

Stu.

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Cheers Stu,

Someone mentioned the online tests to me before but I had trouble finding them.

Is this your first WAPOL application?

Martin

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

No worries Martin,

They were certainly on there until the website upgrade a few weeks ago, will have a look later.

It is my 1st time round, yes. First time within the service range, although have been planning (hoping) on it for years!

What about yourself?

Stu.

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Thanks Stu,

Yes this is the first application for me. Im just approaching five years service at the end of april and im hoping to get straight through this selection. like you I have been thinking about this for a long time and I have been watching these forums from the background for a few years.

Good luck!

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Good luck to all! The suspense is driving me insane!! I keep checking on here to see if anyone's heard anything. Fingers crossed for us all to get closer to our dreams í ½í¸Ší ¼í½€

Re: WAPOL recruiting Internationally again!
 

Me too random, check of the emails - no joy. Better check on here see if anyone else has heard. Wait half an hour or so, hmm, maybe now!?

Martin;

Can't see those tests on the website now it's updated, the following is from the email I received by reply after completing them:
