    Failed Visual Search Exercise twice

    Thank you for this - really adds clarity for me. The VSE therefore is pretty insignificant in respect of the rest of the assessment. I’ve just done some research and the toc that I failed it with are the only ones that use it out of the 6 tocs/focs within 60 mins of my house.

    Failed Visual Search Exercise twice

    Thank for that Baz, appreciate your time. Out of interest, do we know who actually does use the VSE? I know Freightliner do. What about Transport for Wales?

    Failed Visual Search Exercise twice

    This would be good news Baz as the other potential companies local to me, GWR, SWR, XC, DB Cargo and TfW all use national I believe! So you think I still actually have two attempts left at national and possibly some enhanced tocs that don’t use VSE?

    Failed Visual Search Exercise twice

    Hi all, Just found out I’ve failed the VSE twice. Once last year and once that must have be so long ago that I can’t even remember. Last year’s was totally my own fault as I did the test in completely the wrong environment - full of noise and people! Anyway, that’s done and in the past, so I’m...

    VSE tips please!

    Cheers guys, appreciate the advice! I’ve had a good trawl through the forum and the key for this test seems to be (on section 3) prioritising the primary task without letting the secondary task distract you from the main objective - obviously get as many as you can on the secondary but aim for...

    VSE tips please!

    Hello ladies and gents, I’m about to sit a VSE. Would be grateful if any of you guys could pass some tips on please, particularly for section 3 where you have to carry out both tasks together (ie. how many incorrects on the non priority side are acceptable?) TIA!

    DB Cargo VSE?

    Hi all, Does anyone know if DB Cargo use the VSE as part of their assessments? Also, if possible, which tocs/focs do? And finally.. does the VSE count as one of your two attempts?

    DB Cargo/Arriva

    I did it a while back with Freightliner and failed. The thing is I did it online - does this still take one of your two attempts away?

    CrossCountry - end of process

    Hey all, Logged in to my XC careers portal earlier and got the ‘end of process’ notification next to the role I’d applied for. Does anyone know if this means I’ve been unsuccessful or that they’ve just pulled the job? (Ultimately I know I’ve been unsuccessful either way, just for clarity...

    Apprentice Train Driver - Crosscountry - Multiple Locations (09/02/2021)

    How many references and what kind do they require? I’m going to apply for the Birmingham one. Self employed so I’ll need to get hold of some customers who will be referees!
