You want to be trusted with peoples lives.....
Hopefully they don’t get near a train, I think we would be safer without people like that Driving! There’s having a laugh ,then there is being stupid. Your Colleagues will be who you learn from and who will support you when you need it most. I guess you won’t want to be part of the union either cos you are so great! Many people want to be Train Drivers so do everyone a favour Sam and give them a chance as I’m sure they’ll appreciate it more than you!

Personally, I hope he has used his real name!
Not just managers that monitor the forums. There’ll be plenty of staff that don’t like the “attitude” reading too. Not the best start. Edited to say I agree.

No it’ll be my first time very nervous but hopefully in a good way
Do we know what stage 2 entails? Looks like it's not part of OPC assessments, so is it like group exercises and speed interviews?
hi guys , just got bad email now that i failed my stage1 test, which i have passed in the past. I have passed the rest of stages of psychometric test last year, but my stage1 was about 2years ago and East midland would not accept that, and now i failed the stage1. I am feeling really bad about it, this unfair whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? please does that affect my pending Trainee application? please i need help.

Hi there tunde,
I’m so sorry to hear your news.
Unfortunately, your current Stage 1 results will replace your previous attempt. Furthermore, you’ll be unable to resist the Stage 1 assessments for 6 months with any company, so it will no doubt sadly affect your current pending application.
Six months will fly by though. Just pick yourself up and try again when you feel ready.

Can I just say to those who are asking questions and advice. Remember everyone is competing with each other with regards to these job opportunities and there is obviously another sifting process happening which is why EMT have provided a video interview.
To those who are providing the answers to all the questions, it may be beneficial for your own sake to remember number one until you get the job.
Btw I don't mean the actual OPC assessments, in respect to not giving too much away as that is just to see how you individually do.
But I do suggest the other parts where you are with the TOC (group assessments/ video interview/ dmi) that you are cautious that you are in fact helping your competitors do better than yourself by giving away any answers.
Just my opinion.

Hello everyone. Firstly well done to everyone who passed stage 1.
Just joined and also have received confirmation of passing stage 1 with a video interview to complete. Didn't get to speak to many of you at stage 1 but hopefully will catch up at stage 2. Good to hear you passed tomsharp.
All the best to everyone in selection!!!

Good luck to those of you who have done your video interviews. Done mine. Made sure a cat wasnt going to jump on my lap, children out the house and even put a shirt on for it!

Good luck to everyone else doing video interviews, too.

Hi all. Does anyone know if a video interview can be conducted through a normal laptop with a camera? Do I need any specialist software?

Don’t think you need anything special. I completed mine on my laptop and used the built in webcam.
