Well done on getting through to the next stage! Would you mind telling me how long it took to receive the invitation after submitting your application?

If anyone has done / has an upcoming Insight Day with Irwin Mitchell, please could you offer some insights or reach out for a quick chat? Even if you haven’t done it yet but have one coming up like myself, I would love to see what others are expecting from the day as it all seems so ambiguous.

Nice! Which AC did you attend?

Hey everyone, I’m relatively new to the application world and had my BB VS application converted to the Direct TC by the firm. I have no idea on what the AC is going to be like. It was just over a call so I have not yet received the confirmation email.

Any guidance on how best to prep for the AC would be very appreciated.
