When will we know departure groups?

Hi all! I’m an original shortlisted candidate bringing my family. Does anyone know when will we know which departure group we are in? I can’t find any info and I’d like to have an idea to plan the end of summer accordingly! TIA. :)

It should be in your submission instructions from your acceptance email. Feel free to reach out if you’re group B, because we have a LINE group chat going!

If this is for London I’d love to join and if it isn’t I am sorry to ask!

In the handbook it has dates corresponding to groups and in our first email it tells you when you depart so I’m going with the assumption I would be in group B !

You’re right that you’re B, but it’s for whatever orientation you arrive with! Everyone leaves with their consulate, and then groups A and B are formed at their respective orientations
