Although the position will of been filled, I am back on the job hunt for a role of this nature. I have lots of experience since leaving the military and a competent individual. If possible (and I meet your criteria), would it be feasible to be on standby/cover of some kind? Regards, Karl.

Mike, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you mate, I've been waiting to work since January, when my contract fell through I had to start from scratch, but I guess if you really want the job like I do you'll put up with the wait. I've done everything in my power to gain work with many...

Yeh I got the same one mate, I guess the first people with EODT SC's will get the job

Thanks guys, but I managed to get a cheaper last minute deal with a company down south, any other courses to increase my chances of being employed quicker, Ie comms ?

Camp Dwyer is the place (was a uk FOB) not a bad place good cookhouse, and that was 2 years ago, there will be a PX and a subway by now....

Yeh sorry I didn't elaborate, as far as I'm aware the new company transfers the existing SC to be renewed Maybe I'm wrong

Thanks, I do want to go down the MIRA route someday, but for now who would you recommend I do my FPOS with? also is FPOS anymore more advanced than military team medic course (if you know of it that is). Thanks again

That's pretty much the same as I've heard already but with a little more evidence to support it, I'd have booked the course already if I could use my new set of ELC, but just like claiming last year's they don't make it easy for you, I could afford to pay but I don't want to rush in like I did...

Good evening all, I'm just after some sound advice on how FPOS is regarded by you guys, I know having it on your CV is definitely advantageous, as some companies have this as a basic requisite for HE roles. Having done first aid at work (don't laugh) and having tried and tested team medic...

Thanks carl, appreciate your feedback, I won't believe anything until I'm seated on the plane, as I had signed a "contract" but I guess its not valid until I'm deployed. Regards

Yeh I totally agree, I haven't had the chance to be picky yet as I haven't started any work, but I have signed a contract, also in the process of an alternative one, its just a tad frustrating to say the least the waiting game, but my positive attitude keeps me going. Thanks mate ,the same to...

Thanks MJ fully appreciate your comment and taken on board, Glad I joined the site, as I didn't think there would be much friendly advice to be offered, cheers

yeh that's exactly it's been about 7 weeks, I ring them every week but I don't get the answers I'm after, I thought with me passing the interview, And having filled the required doc's and meeting the requisites and exp , that would be me sorted, but one guy at HR I spoke to said I should still...

Hi everyone, Another new CPO in the long line of fresh CPO's Left the forces in December SIA badged and a flight to Iraq with a big well known firm, that of course fell through (visa problems) With no end in sight to the problem, I've since had another successful interview with an even...

I totally agree with the above comment, although I regret not doing my course with maybe phoenix or ronin I have to make do with what I've got and the stigma attached to doing my course with clearwater recently. I to be honest found the course a little to easy, not blowing my own trumpet of...

I completed my course with them last November, A very well structured course, a good laugh, easy to follow, late night prepping but plenty of time to get your head around things if you struggle, don't worry about it, you only wear your suit twice photo/final ex. The downside is employment...

I'm in the same situation, but luckily I had my SC from the army (filled out a big ass booklet, took 5 weeks to come back ), they got back to me saying they were happy I was vetted even though I thought they were after a higher level, so just waiting out on their contract award. Good luck mate
