Same here!!! I had so many dates to choose from as compared with the MMI, too! This will be the last hurdle for me to overcome, so excited but also nervous!I’ve just received an invite for an interview at Go-Ahead House! Looks like it’s the DMI as it’s with two Driver Managers. Hello nerves.

This is great news, you’re so close to entering the big unknown of waiting for a start date. Good luck to you, me, and everyone else for the DMI. Have you received the Personality Questionnaire yet?

Not much to be honest.
DMI is with two driver managers. They ask competency based questions, also question why you want to join, what’s your motivation, what research have you done etc etc
MMI is usually done with someone from HR/ recruitment and they literally drill down on the six questions that you cover briefly in written form at the end of the paper exercises on the assessment centre
Everything is generally completed with the STAR format and if you search this forum thoroughly everything is there to help and assist you to within an inch of your life!
Good Luck
When I had a dmi with Thameslink in 2017 apparently I wasn't strong enough on one question.
When did you have your DMI? And congratulations, you’re almost there!
Worth reiterating also that the MMI forms part of the psychometric testing (so will. Count towards the “two lives” rule), whereas the DMI doesn’t.

When I did my interview the chap gave me the sheet I’d filled in to refresh my memory.
- Give an Example of where you gave good service whilst experiencing difficulty
- Give an example of where you had to persevere whilst learning
- Give an example where it was important that you did not make a mistake
- Give an example where you had to deal with an emergency or a situation under pressure
- Give an example of a situation where you had to follow rules and procedures
- Give an example of a role you have done which is similar to a Driver.

Hi Sly Sloth
Do you happen to know yet whether there are courses planned for July /November?
There hasn’t been any update since your last post that I’m aware of and you appear to be in the know?!
Many thanks

A friend at Southern has told me that a July course has been scheduled in. Not sure about November, but @Sly Sloth might know more.

Does this mean October will be filled with people that are in a pool or could there be another recruitment for trainee’s this year? Thanks

Hoping for an October start - This could be it. Thank You Sloth.
I’m not sure. I’d imagine there’s enough in the pool
