Yes, and I’m in half a mind to not do them.All the best to everyone sitting assessments today and this week! Out of interest, has anyone been made to re-sit any assessments that they already have enhanced pass for?
Yes, and I’m in half a mind to not do them.
The way it reads to me is that if you were to fail anything, it both invalidates your existing result for that assessment, and counts as a life.
Whilst I’m waiting for a start date with someone else, I don’t fancy running the risk of doing myself out of two jobs in one go…
If that were true, surely I wouldn’t have to be sitting the FL enhanced M7 and SJE…You don't have to resit tests you passed to enhanced level.

I was there yesterday as well, afternoon session. I know they said 1-2 weeks but I’m already checking emailsI sat mine yesterday, there were 2 people who had previous results and only had to sit the DFFT, there were others with expired passes who had to sit everything. I think it depends if your previous results match the enhanced standard though.
Regarding results, you don't get any on the day. We were told 1 to 2 weeks until we hear back.

how long did it take to get your results?I had passed them all to enhanced level. But the TOC I did them with didn’t do the stage 1 DFFT test.
I went and only sat the DFFT was out 30 mins after I arrived.
Once I passed that they accepted all my other psychometrics and I was offered a DMI.
If you already have it the OPC will checked it’s in date and to the right score and give you a pass on the ones you already have.
I was told that should I fail the DFFT it won’t matter and the TOC id applied for don’t require it. So it was a no brainier.
I’m glad I did as EMR decided not to open the Liverpool Lime Street Depot. So I start with FL next month.
I’d have been waiting for a job that wasn’t coming.

Congratulations. I passed all of my assessments to freightliners standards as I haven’t been asked to do any and have just received an email inviting me for an interview. How did you find your DMI?I had passed them all to enhanced level. But the TOC I did them with didn’t do the stage 1 DFFT test.

Yes.Is this talking from experience this week?
Yes.
Just paper this week.To those who have been up this week, was it just the paper based tests or paper and computer based?
Still Watford. But at the opc offices this timeCongrats! Same place for stage 2 assessments?
Best of luck for the day! How much notice did they give you for sitting stage 2. Enough time to prep again etc?Still Watford. But at the opc offices this time
There will only be the part 2 to the tests which are the computer based tests along with an MMI. If successful and if you haven’t done it already you will have a DMI. If you pass the DMI you will be in the talent pool until you get selected for a course and then sent for the medical before you are finally given a contract.Sat mine today. Felt it was a fair process. One guy came from Manchester walked out after 2 minutes of first test saying it wasn't for him. We were based in Watford!!!!
Only worry I have is my employer may get a bit touchy if I start having loads of days off. If I pass Stage 1 how many more stages are there? There were 7 of us there today and all but one was for Crewe. One was already a shunter driver for FL so came to do the other tests. My other fear is that we will go into a talent bank as he has been at a FL course this week where there were groups of new drivers doing an induction for FL. They had already passed all their tests etc
All a bit confusing TBH.
Thanks for the reply. Appreciate thatThere will only be the part 2 to the tests which are the computer based tests along with an MMI.
