Have you completed stage 1 with Arriva before? If so, contact them and ask which tests you are resitting. If not, then I wonder if stage 1 are bespoke to Arriva in which case you would need to do them all?
Passed OPC with another TOC so not sure if I have to re-sit them again?
Sorry, I may not have been clear. I think Arriva do extra tests to OPC, so that’s what you have to do with stage 1. I think if you have done OPC tests and passed, you don’t need to redo them.
Thank you for that, because I really wasn't sure.
I've heard they do VSE & SJT in supervised environment so that's what I'm hoping to do, otherwise I've passed all the other opc assessments. But hey if I need to go through it all again then it's fine lol
I’m still waiting Reece!
I think for you it'll only be the SJT. Thats how it was for me
Did you already pass stage one then & waiting for stage 2?
I've passed both previous. Not sure what's next for me
Hopefully just dmi and you're in!I've passed both previous. Not sure what's next for me
Well done! How was the MMI?I've passed both previous. Not sure what's next for me
Fingers crossed!Hopefully just dmi and you're in!
Thanks pal...I did mine with another company last year though
I'm going on the 12th @8:45am
Yes, good luck everyone! Practice with the materials they have sent you, and this will really help you on the day
They don't like to give much notice do they?!

Also been invited to the assessment day next Thursday. Out of the documents attached to the email is the one we need for the first assessment 'Train driver practice materials'?
No you don't need to bring practice materials, just your passport, proof of address ( bill, bank statement etc) & another document with NI
I think I made around 5 or 6 mistakes in the 3rd part and I passed. But it is hard to remember - I was trying to forget the mistakes as soon as I made them so I didn't get distracted!

This link indicates what tests are done at Stage One, and therefore which bits of the attachments sent to you are applicable for Stage 1Arriva Rail London: Trainee Driver – FAQs

Thanks a lot
Did you make those mistakes on track side or on signals ? Cheers

I made the mistakes on the symbols - I only know, because it tells you. I could have made errors on the track side (i was aware of one possible one), but it doesn't tell you if you make a mistake so I could have made many!
Ok cheers for that

Thanks very much!
Yes you can change it, you will be asked to reply to the invitation email ASAP to confirm your attendance. I guess it’s better to try and take the date they give you so you can do it ASAP and get on with the process.
Hi all,
has anyone completed day one assessment yet? Have you been told your results on the day of assessment or awaiting news in the email?
