Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

Worried196

Hi I have applied for this. Got through the application and was sent a link last week to the T&Cs which I filled in and saved. Heard nothing since and realise I may need to email it to them!!! Is that correct? Thanks for your help. I have emailed them to ask if I needed to do this but no answer.

I passed the second exam as well
So excited today lol.

Just wondered how long till I have to register self employed with HMRC?
At a guess it's when I've received everything.

Sorry to hear that smithysnr
I don't know the answer to your question I am afraid (although I suspect if you have applied once then you probably can't again)

Good luck Samwsmith1 - let us know how you got on.

Sammyantha - I hope you eventually managed to get your 3 hours in and you are not still NRT. When I logged in yesterday I did have tasks but not ones that were showing as available in our area on the portal!! Thankfully I managed to get in my 10+ hours earlier in the week.

Anyone that has been working more than a month - can I just confirm that you don't actually have to "do" anything to submit your timesheet at the end of the month? Nothing has happened with my February timesheet and I am beginning to think I need to physically submit it somehow? - Or am I just impatient!

Same here Fro, what with that and the bonus/ NRT thing I was/ am worried sick. I got an email from them today though over the NRT which put my mind at rest a little, but nothing regarding the timesheets. Hope all is well and they're just a little behind.

I have just listened to their new rater webinar on the portal which said the timesheets should be processed between the 6th and 8th every month - so I guess that they should be done in the next day or 2 hopefully!

I think you should register when you start paid work (HMRC will ask you for a start date).

I found out I passed the 2nd exam too today, I am very excited and a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread

Thanks, think I'm going to go and investigate all this self employed stuff now.

Just found this:

Should be of use to some.

They still state they are recruiting in the UK on their recruitment page here (you have to click through to the US version) so I assume they are. Personally speaking I applied last October but they had just stopped recruiting in the UK when I applied. In January I had an email from them asking if I was still interested and then it went from there. I think they are a bit sporadic in their response times - presumbably depending on how busy they are. If you look through this thread I think there maybe some more helpful information from some of those that have recently applied in the last couple of weeks. Good luck!

Congratulations to everyone that passed yesterday and welcome on board!
