Congrats on passing your assessments. In regards to using results from other TOCs, the answer is yes. They will accept your crossrail results and you should automatically be invited to the DMI with ARL. Hope that helps.

Does anyone know if ARL do Vigilance tests? I applied for this role but yesterday I passed most of the assessments with SWR expect vigilance I failed on
What do you mean by vigilance test. If it's part of the psychometric tests , then all the toc's use them . Arriva also use quite a few extra test's too.
When did u apply for the position? And which depo?

Yes it is part of the psychometric test, it’s the one where you hit green button when grey square turns black. I wasn’t sure if all TOC use the same tests but thank you for letting me know and yes I had heard Arriva use extra tests
A friend of mine applied for this role a few days after release, still haven't heard anything back for WJ Depot. They are very slow though, I'd say a few more weeks before you hear anything back.

This is true I applied last year and it took them a while to get back even for the “unfortunate” email.
This time I applied but I failed one of the assessment with another TOC so I wouldn’t mind if ARL take 6 months to get back lol

Well I initially received a no in October then they sent me a stage 1 invite in January and a stage 2 invite in February. This was all from the July campaign.
That’s not the case took about 6 months before I got a reply back on my application once I had completed the tests and DMI to job offer and start date the overall process was 10 months
that sounds reasonable for most tocs but with arriva rail the process of actually getting a job offer once passing your DMI is much quicker then other tocs because they don’t have a talent pool
I agree totally, mine was about 5months. From start of application to start of training. I had already completed most of the psych testing including MMI though. I have found ARLs HR very quick and responsive when I have contacted them.
Yep, Once they contact you for stage 1 everything speeds up really it’s just the initial waiting period when you apply
the HR are really good even with me when I didn’t do no tests before the process from stage 1 to medical job Offer and start date etc was really fast , ARL is really good I’m still in a talent pool for another TOC its been nearly two years. I think people suddenly think when they apply they will get a reply the week after it’s all about patience I also think it’s important not to rush Aswell them tests are not hard but not easy but easily failed
Freightliner, I started my assessments october 2018.

Does anyone know the average times in the classroom and for how many weeks, at ARL?
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. I've seen the answer for other TOCs but not this one
I'm starting next week, and although they mentioned it in my interview I've forgotten what they said!

I am. I shall see you there
did ARL make u do additional assessments? Or is freightliner enhanced?
Freightliners were enhanced and perfectly fine. I had to take the SJ7 and VSE as freightliner do these online as a pre sift and ARL wanted them done in person.
Hi mate,
Quick question,
If I have passed all the tests with another TOC MTR crossrail, do you know if I will skip straight to DMI?

Hi, I already asked that question earlier and I've been told yes you do.
I'm in the same boat lol, passed tests with Crossrail but failed DMI
