I'm still waiting for my Ac2 results. It's been almost a week & a half now.
It's the same for me, had my AC2 on the 14th still with no reply

I was the 14th as well! We're you there for the 08:30 session?
Yep nice and early, maybe we've been forgotten
Sorry I haven't replied to some of your private messages as there are so many.
Everyone advise is going to be different if I am honest I did not prepare any answers for the interview as I thought I could just think of examples of the top of my head bearing in mind you are talking about your own past experience.
I believe having set answers going in to an interview will just throw you off massively when they start asking more in depth questions about the original questions.
I have been given my start date and a date where I have to pick my uniform and sign my contracts. Hopefully I will be meeting some of you.

10 working days is officially over next Wednesday. So if I haven't heard by then, I'll give them a call. It's not really good enough to people to wait this long, considering they most likely have already decided if we've passed/failed.

Cool. How did you receive the good news?
After my AC1 they made me wait exactly 10 working days/2 weeks before I heard I was successful so after my AC2 yesterday I'm telling myself to be patient and wait until exactly that time.
I agree though that it is a bit of a ridiculous wait just to tell you if you have failed/passed. It's a long enough process as it is!

Peculiar! Any chance of a partial screenshot? Not that I don't believe you!
So how come everyone else got a phone call telling them they were successful?
I believe this drazky may be a bit jealous that he wasn't successful.
I am.
Will see you there then! Met someone else at the medical today that was also starting same day.
Did the test on the Friday, got a call on the Monday but missed it and they called back on Tuesday.
Congrats Ceeparker, lewisrday & sfxdude!
Just stumbled across this forum, wish I had before my AC1 but thankfully managed to pass the tests and have my AC2 next week.
Had a competency interview for the night tube CSA job a couple of weeks ago so I am familiar with the ''grilling'' they like to give but never done a rVce test. Is it really as straight forward as in the practice materials?
Is it true some night tube drivers have already started training? read an article somewhere, will post a link when I've found it.
Can't wait for those jelly beans
edit: can't find the exact link but it said new drivers had already started training http://metro.co.uk/2016/03/17/night-tube-will-begin-in-july-5757680/

The rVce is straightforward yes. Very similar to the practice, maybe slightly longer / slightly more info to note. I think for that speaking slowly and clearly is very important.
From what Ive heard some night tube drivers started training last month but I suspect this is internal applicants as I think the process for that started much earlier.
Good luck for your AC2.
Thanks for the info.
Yes I thought so. There was also a pdf in the practice materials ''Assessment support workshop'' that mentioned fast tracking etc I guess this workshop was also just for the internal applicants.
Do you have any advice for the technical competency: fault finding is it like a quick exam or just questions in the interview.
Thanks again, appreciate the help.

Didn't hear anything back as well just the same email to say update in 2 weeks. I have withdrawn my application anyway, since I now joined as CSA, will have to wait six months before I can apply for for any other role.
That's not fair. Did they not even send you the invitation for the SJT Online test?
I'm also onboard as CSA just waiting for training dates now but would love to get the train ops position!
I've got good examples/experience for all the competencies just struggling on the technical fault finding one. I know you can't divulge too much info but will it be along the lines of ''Describe a time where you came across a technical fault at work/school and how did you resolve/overcome it?''

Did the SJT, but CSA process completed quicker, started training 2 weeks ago. Once in, one has to do 6 months probation before progressing so even though I had external T/Op application, they were not going to progress it.
Ah ok. How's it all going? Glad you joined TfL?
