How long does a criminal record check take to process I have filled out the form and sent it back to Capita?

Question

The paper work that came with the form says six to eight weeks. Does this sound like a very long time to wait for them to decide i am a fit and proper person to be a driving instructor.

Answer 1

It took 10 weeks for my last one to come through. They are really busy.

Answer 2

Does that mean you can't start your course until the check is complete?!?  

Answer 3

Ive had one done and it did take at least 6 weeks from memory ......

Sorry.

Im surprised Mrs GC managed to pass considering her penchant for shall we say 'alternative' sexual practises ;)

Answer 4

I applied for an enhanced check in March, it was back with 2 weeks, although my previous one a few years ago took 5 months!

You may get lucky as schools are closed just now so might not be quite so many applications being processed.

Answer 5

no that doesn't sound long at all

The last one I had to do was an enhanced CRB check and that took just under 3 months to come back

dave I'm actually going to murder you

Answer 6

Hi, it depends on what they find during the searches, it can take several months

Answer 7

I have no idea i have never had to have one carried out.
