Well that’s 3 of us…Me too! I did the opc assessments in Watford on the 18th March. Would be interested to know how many positions there are available and how many of us have got through to this stage.
No one else for Crewe when I did mine.Well that’s 3 of us…
When I did my assessment, there was 2 other lads for Crewe. Obviously not sure how they did on their MMI though.
There were 2 more for Crewe when I did mine, but don't know how they faired with the MMI.Well that’s 3 of us…

I wonder when the last of the Watford assessments are/were? Mine was Friday the 18th. Presumably they’ll wait until they’ve got all the results in and then arrange dmi dates...I’m also waiting for a DMI at Crewe. So it looks like quite a few of us. I did my tests on 15th in Watford.
I’m only surmising here but… given that some people are saying that have got a date to start in May. The classroom part of the training takes 11 weeks. I wonder if the next intake will be August.I wonder when the last of the Watford assessments are/were? Mine was Friday the 18th.

There is more than 1 trainer and location within the companyI’m only surmising here but… given that some people are saying that have got a date to start in May. The classroom part of the training takes 11 weeks. I wonder if the next intake will be August.
Might be a few weeks before they do anymore DMIs.
Like I said I’m only surmising. The advert said 4 courses for the 2022 recruitment.There is more than 1 trainer and location within the company
Hi, just wondering, did HR contact you recently to advise of this?Dunked into the talent pool.. .............
Supposedly 6 training courses this year, don’t know whether that is all mainline driver courses though.Like I said I’m only surmising. The advert said 4 courses for the 2022 recruitment.
I’m sure we’ll find out in due course.
No.Hi, just wondering, did HR contact you recently to advise of this?

It's not about them wanting or not wanting, it's about having passed all the tests set. Hardly FL's fault if someone fails a test, or only achieves a mediocre score, which makes it much more likely to end up in a pool rather than in a classroom.No.
Unfortunately I had to enquire myself as I hadn't heard anything for 4 weeks.. I guess they are too busy with recruiting for every depot, and it's easy to miss informing candidates they don't want.
Sorry to hear that.No.

What was the last contact you had with them before you got in touch?No.

That would be the usual email route, 4 weeks ago, as mentioned previously.What was the last contact you had with them before you got in touch?
I've not heard anything for 6 weeks, since receiving an email asking for notice period and a cv. Doesnt sound to promising not hearing anything if you have already been put into a talent pool. You may get put on a course later in the year perhaps?That would be the usual email route, 4 weeks ago, as mentioned previously.
It's not promising at all, especially when you hear of other hopefuls, still residing in talent pools, for several years, for the same depot.I've not heard anything for 6 weeks, since receiving an email asking for notice period and a cv.

Try not to be so pessimistic my friend, they would not spend money on you putting you through OPC assessments ect if they had no intention of employing you.It's not promising at all, especially when you hear of other hopefuls, still residing in talent pools, for several years, for the same depot.
One can only wait in the hope that a trainee place becomes available, and the company decide to give it to you. They don't need to justify anything to any queue of potential applicants I'd guess. Its tough.
I enjoyed the actual FL DMI, assessments, and MMI which makes "no joy" a little worse..
Perfectly written!Try not to be so pessimistic my friend, they would not spend money on you putting you through OPC assessments ect if they had no intention of employing you.
Keep being resilient and try to enjoy your summer, remember we are only 1/3 of the way through 2022
