Turns out they only have one day of ACs for the vacancy I applied for so I'm going to stick with the original date and do it on my holiday. Did you get more info through once you accepted the AC date?
yes! it gave me a timetable of the day but i'm nervous as this is my first AC and not sure what to expect since there's not much about it online. for the interview aswell it says it won't be conducted on the AC day

Do you know whether everyone does the separate interview or whether you have to pass the AC day first?

I had an AC on Tuesday but Kennedys had accidentally sent me the wrong invite for an AC for the same SQE programme on Monday so makes me think that they had at least 2.
Come to think of it they also sent me a wrong invite at one point and it was same day but PM time but when I spoke to a trainee she said she thinks they only had 1 per scheme but I’m not sure
