Good luck mate! Just got an email this morning confirming 28th Feb as my stage 2 assessment day too. See you there!

Fantastic news, I’ll see you there, hopefully the coffee machines will be working this time!! Were you on the morning session last Tuesday in Leeds?
I was on the morning session, got the email this morning saying I'd passed. Back in Leeds for Stage 2 on the 1st March.

See you there and I certainly hope there’s a working coffee machine! I wasn’t actually, I sat the first stage of testing down in Watford as the dates were more suitable for me. Leeds is certainly a lot closer for me though!
What depot have you applied for?

I’ve applied for Doncaster so Leeds is perfect for me!! How about yourself? I think the majority of folk there last Tuesday were also Doncaster although one guy was Mossend I seem to remember.

Perfect, can’t complain at that! I’ve applied to Millerhill up in Edinburgh, so little further afield for me. Already booked to arrive the day before and stay the night though!

Leeds is slightly nearer than Watford for you then!!!! Good plan to stay over, I’m considering it myself, even though I’m only about 40 mins away, just in case of any hold ups on the day…

Yeah absolutely! I’d definitely recommend it. Even though it was a necessity to stay over for stage 1 in Watford, I think I’d do it again even if closer. It was great to relax the evening before and do some practice tests/look over material, and the next morning I just had to get ready and head downstairs
Same here! See you there

Failed WAFV today but passed the other two… absolutely miffed as thought I hit everything, quite dejected at the moment but good luck to everyone else involved
Sorry to hear that, hopefully you smash it next time! Do you think you missed many? It’s the joysticks I'm not keen on.Failed WAFV today but passed the other two… absolutely miffed as thought I hit everything, quite dejected at the moment but good luck to everyone else involved

Honestly I genuinely didn’t think I missed one, I certainly wasn’t over clicking but there must have been some I missed. The joystick is fine just very sensitive

Sorry to hear that mate, you’ll absolutely smash it next time around though! Did they tell you at the end of the assessment day or did you need to wait?

Thanks very much; I did the computer tests as a whole then told.

Had my stage 2’s Monday in Watford. Found out today that I’ve passed the MMI and onto the Driver Manager Interview.
Stage 2 tests were ok, grey square was easier than I thought it would be. Joysticks was the hardest as they’re really sensitive but you do get a feel for it in the practice beforehand

Well done. How did you find the MMI? Fairly straight forward?

Yeah pretty straight forward but I think it depends on who your interviewer is mostly as I’ve heard some stories haha

Completed my stage 2 in Watford yesterday and received an email just over an hour ago saying I was successful. Over the moon!

Congrats to those who have managed to pass stage two!! Regarding the MMI, do you get asked just one question after the SJT? I’ve read on other threads that some TOCs/FOCs have asked more than one…
I done mine on Monday and after the SJE we were handed a sheet with about 5/6 different questions on which they will then ask you to talk about in detail during the MMI

Ah ok, many thanks!

Hi, I'm a new member. Have been reading a lot of this thread about when the job will actually start if successful. I believe I seen someone say they're due to start in April after being awarded a contract. Does anybody know roughly when I'd start if I pass my stage 2 and DMI? I'm booked in at the OPC on 8th Feb.
