TPE is full driver's rate after eight weeks.
This is quite rare - most have a trainee salary, then a 'Post Qualified' salary for a year, sometimes two or staged rises over two years. Others are full rate upon passing out.
The only other instance of full rate whilst undergoing training I can think of is the London Underground - off the top of my head it's 13 weeks, but stand to be corrected on that.
Some companies have had delays affecting people's training, in which in some cases, full pay was backdated by certain amount upon passing out.
