How is the training structured?
How many weeks are the class room sessions? Monday to Friday? 9-5?
I'm asking as I have to organise child care for my kids.
Thanks
The training is broken down in modules (DT) driver training there is 10 modules you basically in class for the majority of the time unless DT6 and 8 which is your driving hours DT10 is meant to be for your finals the rest are all classroom based for example DT1 is PTS DT3 is signalling DT4 is traction when your in class it’s 8.30-3pm and it could either be in Swiss Cottage or wilsden junction and class rooms are normally 3-4 weeks depending on the moduleThank you all.

I am in same boat as you and done OPC assessments with different company. Did you skip straight to DMI with arriva or did you have to do any other tests ? Also when did they message you about DMI?
Was this for Willesden or new XHad my DMI recently. Felt like it was the hardest out of the few I’ve had. Didn’t feel as laidback (more like an MMI) and felt like I didn’t do great but we shall see, it’s out of my hands now.
Before you left did they take a copy of your details.. your proof of address and ID?

They asked what depot and I said NXG. They didn’t but I went for two recently which I got offered and they also didn’t ask for my proof.
Where else did you have your dmis ?They asked what depot and I said NXG. They didn’t but I went for two recently which I got offered and they also didn’t ask for my proof.

SWR and GBRF
Was the DMI at the overground house? Good luck man! I hope this covid19 stuff wont affect recruitment but part of me thinks it willThey asked what depot and I said NXG. They didn’t but I went for two recently which I got offered and they also didn’t ask for my proof.
Unfortunately you’re not wrong. We (I work for ARL) got an email from our union rep this evening detailing various amendments to our working from this weekend. They added that all recruitment had been cancelled and that timetable uplifts planned for this year they had requested to be delayed until next year. So sorry if this affects anyone here.Was the DMI at the overground house? Good luck man! I hope this covid19 stuff wont affect recruitment but part of me thinks it will

When did you get the email? That’s me out then although I think I did pretty bad in the DMI anyway.
Around 3 hours ago.When did you get the email? That’s me out then although I think I did pretty bad in the DMI anyway.

Thanks for letting us know anyway. A shame but understandable.
