I went for interview on 1st July and received the email about availability to take EPT on 8/7, one week after my interview. The status on career@gov changed to shortlisted but I have not received any email.

Hi chilipeppers!

I have about the same timeline as you. Interview on 1st July, and EPT availability email on 8th July. Received a call few days back to verify some details on my academic transcript. But my status is still unchanged, unlike you. Which subjects are you shortlisted for? :)

EPT / Status Update

Hi all,

I went for the interview on 11th July. I got the EPT notification on the 15th July but they did not schedule me to go for the test. Anyone able to advise or is in the same predicament as me? Still hoping for the best even though i think i screwed up the interview...

Hello. Receiving the EPT availability email does not mean you will definitely sit for the EPT. They are checking on your availability first. If you are not scheduled for the EPT, I think you are exempted from sitting for it because you have satisfied their requirements. However, I don't know what the requirements are now, they just said they would schedule candidates to sit for the EPT at their discretion. Anyway, the first EPT date is on 1 Aug and they said they would inform candidates one week before the test date if they are required to sit for it. For the first EPT date, I think they would inform you by tomorrow if you are required to sit for it. Which dates did you indicate that you are available on?

Thank you for replying!

I have indicated on both dates that i am available to sit for the EPT. But hopefully my status on Careers@Gov would change soon. i don't know if i should wait for this though because i might have job offers coming in soon in the next few weeks ..... Any advice guys? It's a risk that i am taking if they might eventually take too long to get back to me as well...

Awesome. I think it is a good sign that they are keeping you updated on your application status. When was your interview?

Hi, I’m shortlisted for Pri english and Science. I just received an email update about my application. Do not lose hope. They are probably updating the system by batches.
