Trinity House Cadets starting in January 2012

[Snorey8]

just accepted an offer from TH as an engineering cadet. I applied to a few companies and regrettably snapped at the first offer as I did not do enough research!!I was wondering if I could still apply for a maintenance grant from the government. ?I live in Wales where it is based on your household income, and I would be eligible for the full amount. I was also wondering if there was anyone else out there starting with TH in January and will be going to the induction ?

I will be going to the induction but haven't heard anything about it or when it is.

Hsve you received anything from Trinity House yet?

Hi Snorey,

I wouldn't regret it at all, TH are by all accounts a really quite good sponsor and TH cadets are, from what I hear, well positioned when it comes to jobs due to the varied experiences you'll have.

If you'rre on the FD course you shouldn;t have any problems with the grant/loan. HND will probably be a different story.

Nope me neither ! I have just forwarded my medical certificate and I'm expecting a phone call very soon from Holly In regards to the induction .

Thanks that's good news! I'm finding it difficult to find the UCAS course code Institution etc. to apply for the grant ? Are you aware of any way to get this info or will I be given it by my sponsor ?

Hi
If you are going to Warsash look under Southampton Solent University on the UCAS website.

In addition, when I applied the only code option available was for the January start, (I began in September), so I put the Jan code down. When my application was approved I just rang them up, explained that I actually start in Sept and they just altered it over the phone. I was quite impressed they were so efficient actually.

Southampton Solent University

That's a great help cheers buddy! Did you apply for a grant/loan ?

[Snorey8]

It also asks me for the name of the university/college, do I put Southampton Solent or Warsash?

[jacloc]

I applied for a grant, didn't need a loan, and I can't remember what I put, I think it was Solent as then you will be at the Warsash Campus.

Hope that helps!
