It's not all in 6 weeks, my bad, I might not have been clear. Started early Jan, so about 11 weeks in and almost at the end of Rules. Next is traction for approx 4 weeks then the handling starts. Start to finish approx 9-12 months depending on your DI. I want to wish the original poster luck...

How far in are you?? Good luck!!!

Hang on a minute. I'm grateful for my health and believe in equality where possible but the online, stage 1 and stage 2 assessments are strict for a reason. A trainee train driver needs to absorb a lot of information over a relatively short period of time, and to be able to recall some of that...

Where will you be driving from Liam?

Why would they allow someone extra time if theyre dyslexic? It makes no sense. The course is quite intense with a lot of learning, revision, and a lot of assessments (2-3 per week)

This could of course be the case. It wouldn't make sense that they're still interviewing for pools but then they're valid for 5 years so who knows.

Sorry for the slow reply. I'm currently on a drivers course as an external. My instructor has told us he hasn't got any planned courses on his agenda. My DSM also said the same about a month ago. I'm not trying to bring any of you down, trust me when I say I understand what almost all of you are...

I'm on course now with a lad who had to move down from the NE to Brixham for END talent pool

Kae it's mostly all on here mate. I'm pretty sure I could talk someone through how to pass a DMI having had a successful one but obviously that's not the name of the game. Go in with confidence, have some answers prepared, and if you're not sure about your answer dont be afraid to take a moment...

Kae just remember you've done really well to get this far. Looking back, my DMI was probably the most enjoyable part because you're dealing with humans at this point and not computer screens or pieces of paper. Dont get me wrong I was nervous beforehand but if you do your homework you will be...

I applied for Exeter St David's. Passed stage 1 before they opened Plymouth. I tried applying but I wasnt able to apply as I was mid application for Exeter. As far as I could tell there was no option to swap. It's all good though, I start in January.

Congratulations Daydreamer!

6th January last time I heard

Had a letter from the specialist and it's been returned as all clear...phew!!! Now to wait for my formal offer
