Which part of the tea occ did you fail? Did they tell you? And did you have to redo all of it (part 1,2 and 3) or just the part you failed previously?

I have a Stage 1 assessment at the Park Inn on 7th January.
Did anyone else get invited to this after doing the online application?....or did anyone have to do any online assessments first?

I am not sure which part I failed, but as far as I aware by reading other threads on here, you have to do the whole tea-Occ test regardless of if you passed part of it, as it is classed as one test. I sat the whole test again.
The last part of the tea-occ is what threw me, I saw 10 answer slots for the lift tones and thought I had plenty of time to find the symbols but they didn't ask that many questions so I didn't manage to finish circling the symbols on the sheet. I got to the row before last.

Hello Halfstar....Happy New Year.
I've got the Stage 1 assessment on 7th Jan....trying to do as much prep as possible for it without getting too obsessed by it all....
Any tips?

Go to the sticky thread and print out the bourdon test. You need to teach yourself to recognise 4 dots.
For the Tea Occ use this and familarise yourself with low and high tones https://traineetraindriverinfo.com/low-tones-test-track-1/
For part 2 they are all plumbers so you find the double symbols. You have about 45 seconds to do this.
For part 3 they are all restrauant so you are listening for the tones and circling all the double symbols at the same time. I think you have about a minute to do this.
Trp part 1 is a memory test. I'd advise to listen to the text first then write notes.
TRP part 2 they will tell you and make you do a pratice example on the day.
Happy New year man,
Honestly the only advice I can give is the same as the c2c gives you, keep practising the tests. I paid for the trainability and procedures mock tests from the opc directly who are handling the tests. It cost £15 but it helped me get the grips of what was going to happen in the exam. As for the other two test, I couldn't find a way of practising them online but I just revised the material c2c give you in the attachment for the stage 1 assessment email.
Good luck in your test, with any luck we'll have both passed stage 1

The same as you, A few other people on this forum got the same email, maybe they are still sorting through all the results . Let’s hope we progress to stage 2.

Just got an email from c2c.
Passed to national standard but I guess a similar email to everyone else.
Just told to keep checking the info they sent me.
Anyone else had any different?

Jeez that was fast! Us lot who sat it in december only got our results last week. But yes similar email to the one you was received.
Hopefully, we'll see whether or not we're sitting the next stage relatively soon then
Congrats man. I haven't got anything yet, hopefully they'll let me know if I'm sitting it or not soonish. What day is the assessment on?
Thank you! It's on Wednesday 23rd this month. Fingers crossed you hear soon.
