Still nothing bud worrying times, hopefully they don’t withdraw the vacancy. I think we get called up to do the assessments when the depot you chose is looking to take on more drivers… could be wrong though? Anyone have an ideas what’s going on? Thanks

Well played! Last I heard was an email early Feb saying I had passed online assessments and was awaiting the next stage for LS mainline too so assuming you’ve scored higher than I did. Just out of interest, when are they letting you book the assessment centre for?

How u got on mate? Any good news?

Hi mate yeah it was interesting spme of those tests were bloody hard! Even with practice!! As for the day itself, they split the tests into two parts. (Non computerised tests first, and then computerised tests at a later date)
It was a case of you have to pass one test to move to the next and so on.
Day started with about 9/10 people, ended with 5.
Recieved an invite for the computerised tests at OPC's HQ in Watford for next week Monday or Tuesday.

Maybe after a few people have passed all the tests they will compare the scores with the people applying who already have a pass mark !

To all the people waiting for assessments.

A lot of of going disputes currently. So there will be plenty of uncertainty. By the end of the year the picture should be a lot brighter. Unlikely there will be a lot happening in the current situations

Good luck to everyone

Tyvm for that it would be nice to have a monthly or bi monthly update just saying no assessments or no dmi etc for those who have passed the test . Nothing worse than believing everyone else knows what’s going on and you are the only one in the dark
