Was that at the interview? If June is the earliest that ain’t too bad.

Yes, that was at interview. Feb was the earliest and I'm guessing only filled with people with a shortish notice period, however, I have to give 12 weeks notice to my employer, so no good for me. June would be good for me!!

Is anyone able to advise on what OPC tests XC use? I know it’s national standard and I’ve tried having a look on the forums but can’t find anything.

I had an interview 2 weeks ago for Leeds and was told I would hear within a week as that was the last day of interviews. Heard nothing since.

Give it time.
I'm a Birmingham applicant and I'm on week 5 or 6 now since my DMI.
From what I've heard, you'll receive a positive or a negative response either way

My interview was 2 months ago today, I was told 2-3 weeks for the result, still nothing!! I'm guessingvthe delay is with HR. When I logged into DB's recruitment page, historic applications have been removed but my XC one is still showing as assessment, so hopefully I'm still in the running.
If it’s the national standard I’m guessing the national tests….only if it uses an enhanced standard is there any potential additional tests

Yeah, to answer my own question question #735. I just got a call to say I'd passed and onto the OPC tests

I think they're going through all successful applicants as #737 is Edinburgh and I'm Birmingham

Ahh they must be a different points with people.
I'm just going off myself and sktt25, seems we both passed DMI and now onto assessments. But others such as yourself must be coming up to DMI.
Tbf, the guy sounded rushed off his feet and did apologise for taking so long and said it's been none stop for them

I think it's just a generic invite email, I've asked for clarification but if not, OPC will check your results on the day

For those who applied for Bristol depot I’ve just been called for a DMI. Keep your phones nearby.
Yeah bud I have asked for clarification too as I have all of the stage 1 tests passed at enhanced and one at national level, which is what I believe XC use anyway. Would stink going all the way down from Edinburgh to be told I don't need to sit any tests

Yeah I asked that on the phone yesterday, going all the way to Watford and then saying "oh you've passed all stage 1 tests" and driving all the way back, although I'd do it seems like a waste of time
