The confirmation email doesn't state psychometric testing though (pretty sure it said this when selecting the date) but refers to an interview and a travel voucher

Does it not give you advice on what it is? What to practice for etc?

Anyone got an email for stage 2 assessments? I already passed stage 1
Do you mean you have passed written tests not computer tests?

Do greater Anglia run the training as an apprenticeship or is it just their own training

Yes. The job description mentions:

If you have the right behaviours and attributes, we will provide you the training for you to be an effective part of our community working as a Trainee Mainline Driver, this includes enrolling you onto the Level 3 Driver Apprenticeship. This apprenticeship has fast become the industry standard for new starter drivers and is nationally recognised.

I'm still waiting to hear since I did the SJT on the 13/11... Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!
Also I can't seem to log in to GA recruitment page atm even though I believe I am using the right password. Anyone else had similar issues?

I did my SJT on the 11th and got my reply yesterday, also had the same issue as you logging in but I am able to using the link they emailed me the "thank you for applying" email

Hopefully I will hear soon then. So I just tried doing it through that email like you said and it worked! Thank you

Hi guys if on the GA personal portal it says this under the title of the role

This application is awaiting confirmation of your Assessment Centre

How should I read into that?

Yes I done the SJT for both greater anglia and West Midlands trains


But no email saying about passing etc

I have done the opc stage 1 already passed previously

No emails saying I failed the sjts for either company
Oh strange, yeah I haven’t heard anything regarding sjt either. My portal says application under consideration.

Exactly so why is says awaiting assessment dates? I don’t know but that’s for the Bletchley role

I have applied for West Midlands trains Bletchley and greater anglia Cambridge

But when you login to greater anglia West Midlands comes up as well if you get me?

All I know is that I have passed the written opc tests, I just need to do computer ones as I never got to do them with a previous company - maybe that’s the reason?

Yeah I've passed the written tests. Failed 1 of the computer tests last time so hoping to redo it this time.
