Who did you email? I’ve emailed them last week and no response.

Must be for one of the courses starting early new year. Good luck with your assessments and interviews people.

Best of luck to anyone applying and going through their assessments and interviews. Been on my course for nearly 4 months now and loving every day. Plenty of hard work, but so, so worth it, and a great TOC to work for all things considered.

Has anyone else heard yet. I’m eagerly waiting for an email!

To the people who have OPC tests when are they booked in for?
I know the next course in January is already full so I expect you’ll be A few months after unless chiltern are running courses side by side which would be news to me

The job I applied for at Chiltern is due to start in January. I’m just waiting to see if I’ve got through to the OPC stage. A few people (above) heard yesterday, but I haven’t had an email to say either way. I’ll be gutted if I don’t get through.

I’ve heard the first January course is Aylesbury and Marylebone only. But there could be more than one in this month.
Be patient though. I’m sure they will get round to you. The OPC itself is very busy at the moment as LNER trainees are going through in their batches.

Out of interest, how is January already full? Is that internal candidates/moves across?
Edit: ignore that, just seen you said its for different depots.
HeelBurton

Moves across from other TOCS as qualifieds don’t end up on the trainee courses. Like me when I came over I did the induction and was sent straight back to my depot. Just abit of FYI there.

That’s made me feel a bit more positive, thank you for replying. I’ll keep checking my emails!

I have mine for booked for the end of Nov. The original Ad said for a Jan start but always thought that may be a push with the timescales available. We will see though

Oh, I just got a no - thoroughly disappointed……
nickman
Member
No , after you've passed VSE one or before that ?
michbridie
Member
Passed the VSE and did the interview questions and SJT - got a no after those.

Anyone heard anything? All gone very quiet…..
Yes I received a no from the hiring manager after completing the SJT and interview questions, gutted! Will keep my eyes peeled for another advert and try again!
Best of luck all

Anyone else had a no, but it still says ‘application in process’ when you log on to your account?

My application was disrupted as my initial questionnaire I did in September was not received by chiltern.... now I wait after i completed the sjt and interview questions just recently.... is anyone else in the same boat waiting to hear after those ?
DontPlayBoxing
Member
I am, I'm currently awaiting the outcome of the same as you.
How do you know your initial questionnaire wasn't received by them?
wasaconductor
Member
Well I was waiting a long time and I see everyone else received there sjts so I contacted someone from chiltern who advised me they did not receive the initial questionnaire.... I told them that I I did complete it on the day I received the email. They then let me do the sjt and now I'm waiting to hear the results from that. I have a previous pass for most of my computer tests for train driver with the exception of having to do the two hand again so I'm hoping I get through to next stage so I can complete this.

These will take place between early December and mid-January for those candidates who successfully passed all the OPC testing. Did you get through OPC ok?
