    Drugs test

    Can’t see why any would make you fail a drugs test unless of course you’re smoking drugs in them?

    2nd VSE fail at enhanced.

    That’s not correct. As long as you pass to standard level which is the only official pass mark then in theory as long as there is 6 months in between sitting the tests you can take them many times as you like. This is unless the particular TOC you applied to has a rule about failing to meet...

    Enhanced Results

    You can’t take the tests within 6 months of each other regardless of the TOC As long as you pass to standard level then you don’t lose any lives and in theory as long as 6 months passes you can retake the tests as many tines as you want. Just bear in mind that the results will be over written...

    TPE SCAAT test

    Pretty sure it was 3 minutes on each sheet, certainly no longer.

    TPE SCAAT test

    I don’t know for a fact with TPE but with others it’s obviously computer test if you do it online but if you get invited to an assessment day then it’s pen and paper. And worth noting for me it was letters I was marking on the online test but when I got to the pen and paper stage it was...

    East Midlands trains qualified Video interview

    I’ve had a video interview in the past and although it’s not something I particularly enjoyed doing it was literally 3 questions and you have 3 minutes to answer each one but could stop the question and move on to the next as soon as you had said what you wanted to say. If you open the link then...

    National Level / Enhanced Assessment

    Unless a particular TOC specifies they only accept you having two attempts and not meeting enhanced then as long as 6 months passes in between then you can apply to them as many times as you want as long as you’re meeting standard RSSB pass levels - I personally have never seen a TOC or FOC say...

    National Level / Enhanced Assessment

    If you re-sit the tests again then whatever you get will overwrite your current results (for better or worse) If you take the tests and fail to national standard then you can’t retake the tests with any TOC for 6 months. If you take the tests again and pass to national standard but not meet...

    Duel Applications

    It’s definitely not a bad thing to have multiple applications in as long as you match the skill set for the roles you apply for and it’s not just a case of applying for literally anything & everything to get a foot in the door It’s extremely tough to get on as a trainee driver, some manage it...

    Freightliner shunt driver assessment info

    I don't think there's national and enhanced lives as such, there is only one pass mark and that's the RSSB national standard, any other 'enhanced' pass marks are set by the TOC or FOC themselves so unless they have a ruling themselves eg if freightliner only let you take the tests twice and not...
