    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    I know plenty of drivers who didn't deal with the OPC, I'm more than happy to be selective in this matter but that's my choice not for everyone.

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    Also "dealing with" and "taking the lead I answered these questions. I remember the questions I was asked. The guy at the OPC confirmed exactly what question 4 is/was word for word. It's information anyone can get from them about their results. If you don't believe me call them yourself. I...

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    Not in the slightest. I know what question I failed on because The OPC told be when I called for my feedback and obviously I know what question I was asked. There's nothing wrong with my attitude, if it was my own error I would own it, have no problems with that at all. And also there's no...

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    As I said you're entitled to your opinion. And I can't remember exactly word for word what was written on the sheet, and why would that matter anyway as you just said how the question is phrased doesn't make a difference.

    No, that didn't happened but I'm aware that that can be asked.

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    It's funny how you keep using the word control in your responses to me but you think it wasn't important enough to be included in the question. My emergency situation was in regards to a family member and that's not something I will be sharing on here.

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    You've made my point exactly, if they don't use the words LEAD or CONTROL, how do you know what answer they're expecting? It's a pyschometric test, they may be looking for your emotional response to emergencies. If the questions and how their phrased wasn't important, they'd let the assessors...

    We're you asked the correct questions?

    It definitely matters, the key words are "lead and control" if it didn't they wouldn't phrase the question that way.

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    I would definitely try to avoid the OPC going forwards and I've been informed it is something you can find out before even applying. Many TOC's carry out the assessments in house. Also I hold no illusions that my outcome will be reversed or that I'll be able to retake. I have friends that work @...

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    I contacted GWR and logged a complaint, which they forwarded to the OPC, I will add that the director only replied to forwarded email and not my personal complaint that I sent. They tried to completely ignore it. I am now in the process of a complaint with RSSB, they way I see it is this, the...

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    I'm not sure that's the case but I understand your thinking, if you're carrying out pyschometric tests and don't even take the time to read the questions to candidates properly I think that's a lack of care tbh

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    The question is " Give an example of when you have taken the lead or control in an emergency/pressurised situation" she asked " Give an example of when you had to deal with an emergency/pressurised situation"

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    Hi, I called them and asked what failed on and they said question 4. Asked him what question for was and he told me. There wasn't any resistance to it at all.

    OPC making errors when conducting Assessments! Be Careful

    Hi, Hi, it's not really about kicking off, more about logging these complaints so that's there's a record. I've spoken to the director of The OPC and she said that the assessor "can't remember" how she asked the question, her whole attitude was rude and dismissive. I've contacted the RSSB as...

    Hi All. Just a HUGE piece of advise, based on my recent experience I would strongly suggest that you avoid Train Assessments carried out by the OPC themselves and not the TOC. I recently failed my MMI on 1 question, when i asked for feedback for the OPC I realised that the assessor had in fact...
