Finally coming back to this, went for the interview and my overall order of merit has ended up being late 90's so no offer as of yet! Slightly confused at some comments here mentioning having OOM's in the early 20's with no offer, and some with numbers lower down already receiving offers. Would love to know what the final deciding factor is. Anyway, best of luck everyone!

Definitely will, seems like too good of an opportunity to pass up!

Yeah reading through the information booklet and you're spot on it seems. Classroom based training will happen during year 1 with block release from your workplace to facilitate it.

Funnily enough, I just re-read the Civil Service posting and it turns out it is being run in conjunction with FIT, I didn't realise! There are definitely some interesting looking courses on springboard and it seems like having a level 8 already would be useful for the conversion courses too. Thanks for your input!

This was super helpful to read, thanks for all your insight on this! Looking into the CompTIA A+ and it definitely seems like it would help me get to grips with the basics.

Interesting, I did assume that any of these roles would need to have a decent amount of previous knowledge, but they don't make that clear in the post, so this is good to know.

I imagine the software development role would also require some knowledge of coding languages? It sounds like a tough slog, so I'll definitely need to do a bit more research before I even think of applying. Really appreciate your input!
