Regarding the uniform, I was wondering the same, having spent the last 18 plus years in a hard hat and oil stained boiler suit (chic, I know...). With regards to the slippers in the ROC, do I wear my Cobblers liveried ones, or go for the classic 'monster foot'? Looking forward to York, see you...

Well done Tony :D

I'll see you there :D

Tony, Try not to fret too much about it. The person in charge of the tests will explain everything and will be very approachable. You'll have a practice run at it before the actual test begins, to make sure you understand everything asked. Don't let yourself get too stressed over it.

Quite possibly the best advice on here. :D

Morning Ste, WMSC per chance? I'm due to start at the same time mate, there's a course being run in Birmingham starting 23rd, so just a short commute from home :D

Hi there, just a quick question... Medical and references have been approved, so now just waiting on a start date. What's the frequency of signaller courses, and how many people are usually on them on average?

They only asked for two, so gave them my current and previous employer.

West Midlands Signalling Centre as grade 6 mate. Medical went well today and I believe my references are sorted so just waiting for the call now!

Cool, just waiting on a start date myself, medical tomorrow morning.

Afternoon Tony, It'll likely stay that way for a while, I think it took me around 6 weeks from completing my SJT to getting invited to an assessment, and then another 4 weeks or so from then to get invited to an interview. Patience is key mate, speaking from my own personal experience I'd say...

Nice one magillmagic, I've just accepted for the West Midlands Signal Centre so awaiting a medical date now.

Hey Charles Pee, well done on getting the offer, whereabouts are you headed regarding the signaling position?

Alphamale, I work in the North Sea if you want any pointers :lol:

Nice one, I'm waiting to hear for a start date myself, looking forward to it!

Cheers Welsh1, likewise for you dude. The interview went quite well I think, it's been a long time since I had a proper one! Still, managed to answer everything and came across alright I think. They said they'd let me know via email, I'm on a rig in the North Sea at the moment and we keep...

Welsh, I was thinking the exact same thing...

Still nothing for me, is no news good news...???

No reply as yet, but next time eh! I think Northampton or Bletchely is better for me. And not disillusioned dude, just sometimes if you don't put in you don't get eh?! I thought they'd be sticking to the rule to whittle down the numbers.

Cheers mate, next time eh! Didn't think I'd get through being a whole 7 miles outside the 25 mile radius...
