Good advice I reckon. Good luck.

@Diff if the feedback is that generic for you, too, maybe look at asking to see interview notes? I know it’s different to a standard interview, but in a DMI for example (or any other standard interview for that matter), candidates can request that the company disclose their notes mate at interview. It’s not a company policy, but your legal right. Maybe it’s the same with MMI, I don’t know?

I will do mate, cheers. We'll see what they say :)

Hi Guys

I've just had my stage 1 date confirmed as being on the 11th of December. I have previously applied to Arriva Rail about 11 months ago and failed at my stage 2 assessment centre so am going into this a little nervous.

I was just wondering how people found the stage 1 and 2 assessments and if anyone has any advice for the further stages i.e MMI and DMI.

Currently sitting in the kitchen area at Freightliner waiting for my manager’s interview lol. I’ve passed the computer tests, not sure about the mmi though. Not confident on that. It sure is a long day

Belated good luck, I remember that feeling of waiting with me having the last DMI of the day. Although they told me on the day about MMI so went into it knowing it was the final hurdle.

So you’ve passed stage one already? Should only need to redo the stage two in that case. You’ll still have to attend on the 11th, but make it clear (although they will prompt you in sure).

Yes I passed the stage 1 but Arriva do things slightly different. I completed all my paper tests on stage one and then on stage 2 failed my trainability for rules and procedures part 1.

Having been on the OPC website and downloaded the practice test for this it seems to be the exact same paper I sat previously. Hoping this might be the case again. (Fingers crossed) as I'm going to concentrate on making sure I don't make the same mistake again. I let my nerves get the better of me the last time but making sure I shake them off before the assessment centre.

Cheers guys. Well I’m back home after a long day. The managers interview was quite relaxed but still throwing the standard questions at you that you’d expect. Overall I don’t feel confident but I guess you never know. By the time my managers interview came along my brain was frazzled!

It’s strange, I got my MMI results about 20mins after doing the MMI and just before the DMI. Anyone else have that?

I got mine about 4-minutes after sitting the interview :)

Not even time to boil the bloody kettle haha. Then straight in to DMI pretty much.
