Hi everyone, new to this forum. Got my assessment day on the 8th of June. Anyone got any tips? I've been practising the Bourdon test along with a number of brain testing apps on my phone and beat the brain on BBC 2!

I know it's simple, but try checking your trash/ junk folders to see if it's been moved there? Or if you have the same account in use across two devices, have a look in the other device, that's what ive done in the past and been lucky enough to find it on the second device, failing that, get in touch with either Mtr or the opc quickly and see if they can resend the email and attachments?

Good luck !

Thanks mate, I've looked everywhere, with all devices, and it's just gone. I have no explanation as to how that happened. Not even in deleted items. Luckily I had all the practice tests printed, just the time and location I need. I've emailed both OPC and MTR to see if they could possibly resend the email.

Hi,

Does anyone know if the application is still open? I herd it was until August.
I applied for FCC almost 2 years ago and got to the final interview, so would love to try again before the 2 year mark is reached.

Thanks.

Also keep a look out for GTR. Was it old or new tests you took?

Passed my medical the other day thankfully. Heard that someone failed on the colour blind test. Feel so bad for them. He apparently didn't have a clue. Even if you are skeptical of that. After passing everything else.

Anyone. No real point. Just interesting I guess.

How long did you wait to hear back from your driver managers interview. Could you please message me

A friend got a call within 2-3 days and got the job. Another waited the full two weeks and was advised they were not successful.

I had my interview two weeks ago today, I've had a couple missed calls from unknown number and missed them. But still had nothing...has anyone had there's in the last two weeks and herd back??

I'll be gutted to get this far and not make the cut...but I'm starting to wonder and now I've resigned myself to not being successful this time around.

Passed the computer based tests today. 2 hand coordination was tricky. Get used to moving the red dot around the screen before starting the test.
