Tell your RO during work review that you wanna do more

First one is average.

Second one is fast.

No, I meant 4 years from BT to Geo 3. So total BT to Geo 5 is 7 years.

Do u mind sharing ur performance grades and which year u were promoted to GEO4/5? Thank u

Seems like those in school already know about promotion. Does the news go to you direct or to SLs. What about HQ staff?

Hello as a male pgde teacher, is it cfmed I will get promoted to geo3 this april after working for one year as a trained teacher?

For me, I joined in 2011, promoted to GEO3 in 2012.
Then went to HQ in 2015, and got promoted to GEO4 in 2016.
Posted from HQ back to school in 2018. Just got news about being promoted to GEO5.
Is this considered normal progression or fast?
