They are working through applications from last summer at the moment for some depots I believe, so depending on which depot you applied for, it could take a while before you hear any news.

Does anyone know if medicals are carried out in the city of where the depot is (i.e. Dundee or Aberdeen) or if they are all carried out in Glasgow?
Just wondering if I need to get another day off work if I hear back.

Hi guys I'm new here. Anyone could tell me what's happening on the 2nd part of assessment in Glasgow. I'm mean I've got an email what kind of test to expect, but I'm wondering about the details what is actually happening the day? Like how it's starts and what goes after what and how it ends. It gives you more confidence when you know. Since some of you already been through it and passed. it would be nice if you could share your experience with me. Congratulations btw with passing the assessment. Thank you in advance

It would take about 2 hours with a break in the middle . you can buy the practise tests from " how to become" for about £6 - £10. to download.
if you pass these tests. then you'll have manager's interview then if you pass the interview. you'll have those computer tests.
Cheers buddy I just bought the book with the dots will go online and get that aswell just look over it from now till the 7th! Anyone else on the assessment on the 7th?

Guys please don't pay attention to time scales. I applied last July and wasn't contacted to attend an assement until the October. It's can be a very long process but have lots and lots of patience.

Hi Stevos
Saw earlier you passed everything and waiting for a medical. Congratulations. You've mentioned you got a lot of help from a members. Now I'm asking you kindly for help.
Any chance you can tell me what's happening on the 2nd part of the assessment? Like more in detail? what exactly tests is gonna be? what was difficult for you? more about MMI? Are we gonna have written communication test? how was a situational judgement tests? all that kind of things. Much appreciated.
