Did anyone else ever hear back from Manchester? I just checked the portal and my application has disappeared. From reading previous posts this is common but the process is looking very unlikely for me now
Mine has disappeared too.
TacoTraveller has mentioned he knows of people who were taken on for Manchester so I’m guessing there’ll be no more vacancies putting 2 and 2 together.

Yes that is my mentality too. I wasn’t sure if they were doing it in batches and if anyone else heard anything since. Certainly looking like a no!

Checking my emails and spam like a nut case. While all these emails of Russian brides and mysterious amounts of money I’m told I’m owed from all Over the world are great, I’d much prefer one with a job offer instead! lol.

Has anyone else had an offer come through?

Hi
Hope everyone is well.

I passed me stage 1 opc and have my stage 2 next week at Watford. Can I please double check what assessments I should be taking part in? And also any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody else hear anything from Birmingham? I guess now the earliest on the course will be feb if I have to guess

Nothing for me either I'm afraid. I can't recall, from my DMI, the actual course schedule. I think one in June was supposed to be exclusively for Birmingham drivers, with another course running immediately after for multiple depots. I could well be wrong.

I'm also insure as to how many trainees/ apprentices are in the classroom at any one time (may vary by TOC). Irrelevent I know, but intruiged.

The June course has 8 applicants on, 5 are Birmingham applicants.

I was told the next available course would be January 2025.
