Guys, after the interview, did you had any brief introduction of the training that you're going to get or you just went for the drug screening and that was all?

Only drug screening. . Don't worry about that

For guys who asked for how it is and if you need safety shoes. .. i bet person who answered work in Halewood. .. In Solihull it's different.
You have to bring your own safety shoes on your first day of pera training and wear them for whole year even if you are in area where they are not needed.. as you are manpower and they can move you to different area whenever they need it.
Pera training is nice and easy... little irritating on qwizdoms but you all can handle it. After two weeks on your last day group leaders will come to pick you up and show you yours areas of work.
If you will be lucky manpower will ask you first if you would like to go on any specific area or shift but in general you all have to be flexible.
You all will be fine.
Welcome on board.
9 weeks for me gone... only 9 months and 3 weeks left till the contract

It's hard to say, on my training we got few groups more or less 30 pp each

And its all classroom based. There is some manual exercise but it's also in the same groups

Hi,
Anyone else got a start date for 30th September at Solihull plant, if so have you received your confirmation email yet?


Thanks in advance

Hi

Just thought with the information I have been given on here that it would be nice to share my experiences.

I originally had to decline a offer due to the birth date of my child in August. Since then I chased manpower a few times for another date as they said they would sort this for me. I have since been offered the 9th Sept. I have received my confirmation email which includes info on parking at Birmingham Airport and safety boots. (I have got a pair on the net for £20). The email confirms training address , times and basic information. You will need to print this off to bring with you on day 1.

I was also booked on a short induction for today. This is basically an admin process, filling in previous medical history forms, trying uniform on for sizes, hearing test and registering for pera training which includes short English and maths test (if you at this stage it should be easy).

The next stage for me is to Strat the training. I hope to post after the pera training and then a few weeks after this to give information which might help.

Thanks to those who have previously posted with information as this has been very useful.

Can I ask anyone who has been successful...
how long after having your interview did you hear whether you were succesful or unsuccessful & whether you heard via email or a call.
My Hubbie had his interview 9 days ago & not heard anything...#waitinggame
Thank you

if it helps i know people that waited longer than 8 weeks but my wife got her start date 6 days after her interview,she starts PERA on 9/9/14,we always say it is better not to hear anything within the first 5 days after interview because it is a positive sign,it really is down to the manpower placement team,i can say for sure that your hubby was successful hence the delay,if he had been unsuccessful he would have gotten an email by now saying "they will not be proceeding further with the application blah blah blah ......"so just wait and be optimistic.
here's wishing you the best.
