GTR Trainee Drivers Hornsey/ Cricklewood

[Ads1]

I done mine on Feb 5th and still haven't heard anything. I have no contact for HR to ask for an update or if something possible went wrong?

Few had assessment last Friday and few got this coming Friday so hope we get some reply after that.

So the first day at the Assesment Centre will be completed with the practical assessments. If successful, a second day where the two nterviews will be carried out?

So once you pass the assessment day at Croydon, you’re invited to a Driver Manager interview both vacancies are held at King’s cross, successful at that stage you return to croydon for the MMI. Successful at that stage you have a medical which is also held at Go ahead House, Croydon. Hope this helps.

thats helped me alot.

I have my first assesment day im preparing for now. Would rather have the interviews on a seperate day. One less thing to worry about hahaha

 

[DEvans]

Thank you for your message. I've read so many helpful messages. Some contradiction but a separate say for the interviews would be very helpful.

Good luck to all tomorrow. I'll see you there if anyone is gong.

Just going to clear up a few things quickly.

• GTR no longer require enhanced pass rates. The pass rate was lowered at the beginning of the year to the national pass rate.
  

• The order of online tests once your initial application is accepted is as follows: Questionnaire and SJT and if successful, then a mini-SCAAT.
  
  
• Then an assessment day follows, which includes everything except your DMI and MMI. You find out on the day if you have passed/failed.
  
  
• You should then be sent an online HPI.
  
  
• You will then be booked in for your DMI.
  
  
• If your DMI is successful, you then attend an MMI.
  
  
• Only if your MMI is successful do you then get informed of start dates and booked in for your medical.
  

• Successful candidates have already been selected from this recruitment for a course with a start date in May. This was finalised this week.
  
  
• The next course is September/October.
  
  
• All practice materials for all assessments and interviews will be sent a minimum of 7 days prior to the date of the assessment/interview.
  
  
• There will be no visits to any depots for ‘familiarisation’. You can go past them on the train but neither Hornsey nor Cricklewood driver depots are open, especially not to the general public.

Why did they lower the test to national, do you know.

 

[hustledonthate]

I assume its due to the depots being created to only cover two routes and 1 new class of train

 

[baz962]

Ok cool, thanks

Hi hustle

Do you know if not having feedback from Mini SCAAT since February 5th is normal and if there is any way to contact HR?
Thanks in advance

Obviously you have to take into account the sheer volume of applications that were received and consider that internal staff do obviously have priority.

To be completely honest, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

At least it'll be a nice surprise if they do eventually get back to you.

I suppose so.
The worst thing is I completed all these tests in July 2015 and passed them all to the higher grade and even started with a TOC.

Just make sure you do your research on GTR and GN. The interviewers I had were very nice and kept the interview relaxed. Have sent you a message with some of the Q's they asked.

Hi Rachael, congratulations, were you at the assessment centre at Go Ahead house on 31/1/18? If so, I was one of the candidates as well - the bearded one lol. When did you have your MMI? I just had mine today. Was pretty tough.

Well done on getting through. I have mine next week. Found the dmi relaxed. Was the MMI similar. I hear it can be more intense let’s say. Anyway got my answers now just need to revise them in case they really probe me.

Thank You, hopefully it's good news for you too. You should hear in a couple of days so will have to let me know how you got on. I had mine 6th April, was a bit intense, did Dave hold yours? Hopefully see you on training!
