    SWR Trainee Drivers at Staines, Woking and Waterloo

    Cheers for the response. I applied really early and hoping they worked backwards from applications. I don't think that's true but I'll keep my fingers crossed until I hear something different.

    Well done for securing another position. How far along did you go with SWR? Just the initial application or did you go to assessments?

    Thanks everyone

    Sounds like a silly question but what is the blood pressure range? I am doing a general test with my doctor soon and interested to know where I should be. I am relatively fit but family members on both side have a history of high blood pressure.

    Nice one baz - received the same update and was going to share here also. Can't recall the cut off date but nice to have an update. I imagine the reviewing process will take a while.

    SWR Trainee Drivers at Staines, Woking and Waterloo

    Thanks for the response. I can understand that POV but nice to know trainers work with you (not that I expected the opposite). Be interesting to know what are the usual difficulties once trainees get to this stage.

    SWR Trainee Drivers at Staines, Woking and Waterloo

    That would be gutting to get through so many stages to fail on the course. Out of interest. Do you get much of an opportunity to correct your mistakes on the course? I've read positive things about the training process so expect they want to work with their trainees. Just wondered how strict...

    SWR Trainee Drivers at Staines, Woking and Waterloo

    If BallaBoy's timeline can be used as a guide hopefully we'll get a response early next month? Unless we've applied so early and they are working through the applications backwards? I applied a similar time as you Matt. Good to see that Ballaboy received a fairly quick response post-assesment.
