Thank you. All the best for yours. I definitely recommend a quiet location, particularly for the second part.

Thanks to the OP informing of the opening of recruitment I applied for Bristol on November 2. Received a reply on the 5th apologising for the delay (polite but no delay really) asking me to complete 2 further assessments by November 12.

I got the unsuccessful email from TfW. No feedback. Bit gutted obviously as it seems some folks have reached interview without doing the RAAT and TCT but there we go. Good luck everyone…

I think I did OK. Was careful to make sure I wasn’t caught out on the direction the train was going. The deadline has passed so I’ll be refreshing my emails every five minutes or so today. :)

I thought I was going OK but was pretty alarmed when the test timed out. I think I got to Q20.

Did you manage to get through all the questions in time??

I’ll do it tomorrow morning (20th) when my son is in nursery and my head is fresh. I have him all day today and once he’s asleep my head will most probably be frazzled. :)

Congratulations. Is there any prep you’d recommend for the TCT or are they quick maths type questions?

When I applied roughly two years ago I applied directly with TfW. I did an online SCAAT, then validated the results in Cardiff, and then it was straight to group assessment and interview on the same day. This time round - via Acorn - it’s been the online SCAAT, online RAAT, and I have the...

Brilliant. Thanks for the info Mamfa81. And congratulations on the job.

Can anyone tell me if current interviews for Trainee Train Conductor still include the group assessment and interviews in a face-to-face setting? Or are they now taking place online due to COVID? 1624557470 Awesome. Thanks for the info people.

I finally received an email from TfW today inviting me to an online SCAAT test. Can’t even remember when I originally applied. :) I went through the process a couple of years ago for Trainee Conductor and got through to the group assessment/presentation and interview which was held on the same...

Yes, I e-mailed the Cardiff office which is on the main Acorn website quoting my Job Ref and Job ID. I was then directed to the correct person.

I finally received a reply from Acorn today after asking for an update on my application. "Due to technical failures out of our control your CV was never progressed through our automated platforms. This problem affected around 1% of individuals and regrettably yours was one of them." "I will...

Same here. I received an acknowledgement email on March 21 and nothing since. Pretty abysmal if these applications have been lost or overlooked.

Congratulations! I applied last December for a trainee conductor role with TfW. They got back to me about a fortnight ago. I'm in Cardiff tomorrow to verify my online SCAAT pass. Unsure what else to expect tbh. I think there's a group workshop too. Did you have this? It seems that each TOC has...

Good evening! So i applied for a Trainee Conductor role at Cardiff depot in December 2018. I received an email on October 29, 2019 saying there'd be an online SCAAT test on 31st October - 3rd November. Received no link for anything. Then received a further email from the same lady on 6 November...
