CPD2010, if you don't mind me asking, what type of employment info did they want? Were your employment verification letters enough?

Did anyone take the SBSA/POWER on the 28th of September and still got no word or have gotten notification of pass? I'm starting to get worried.

I had my written test on Sep 22,2014 and still have not heard anything back whether I passed or not. I am assuming this is a normal wait period lol

Hopefully the process picks up soon, maybe it just slowed down due to the sudden volume of BP turn ins. I turn mine in in soon. Anyone know how long the process takes? I might have to get a ride there and I don't really want my ride sitting in the car for 4 hours :/

The CTA would be the most logical option.

Wow I've luckily been getting notified of me passing ever step so far within a few days and having my next step already scheduled for me. I hope this continues!

You need a Ventra card.

I think the card is free to get. Pre-load it with $10 and you'll be fine.

Thanks man appreciate it, I guess it's better than wasting $20 on gas and the risk of getting into an accident on the way.

Edit: Do you know how long it generally takes for the card to ship?

Hey man glad to hear you got the email! Get working on the packet ASAP you'll need every minute you can!

Agreed, buy a Ventra card with $10 and just swipe the card at the terminal either on the bus or train. Use Google Maps to help you navigate a course.

If you can't figure out how to use the cta or metra, you might have some trouble in the academy. You'll fit right in.

No idea. I bought mine at the station. I believe it's $5 to buy the card at the station though.

I just asked someone right now they said local currency exchanges have one for $5.
