I spoke with TFW recruitment yesterday. As i am awaiting an assessment date.
They say, that they have no dates scheduled for assessments yet, & hope to have some in the next few weeks.
They are looking at selecting applicants based on area applied for.
For example I’ve applied for Crewe, therefore that area may be next, depending on whether they have enough trainers available for the classroom and on the job training. However she couldn’t indicate at this stage which areas would be chosen first.
Also, it’s possible that I could be sat awaiting a date for 6-12 months due to not having enough trainers & there being less demand for drivers in Crewe; compared to Cardiff (for example)
It seems likely that when you’re invited to assessment, you won’t get much notice and if you can’t make that date, it could be unlikely you can’t swap the date & the wait until the next dates come for the area applied for are unknown.
Yes it’s a pain. I’ve purposely not booked a summer holiday cos I don’t want to be waiting for another year or so.. but it is what it is I guess.
Hope this helps if your on the position I’m in too
Cheers
