Lol. We all got it 3/4 times before it’s either a glitch or they really want to make sure you get it!

Just received the email as well for online assessments.does anyone know the starter pay for Norwich? And how much you would clear etc ? I know there is a lot more to the job than money. I’m asking for budgeting reasons. For example do you have to pay pension contributions in first year when pay is lower etc

Norwich is the lower starting pay quoted. You will of course be auto enrolled into the pension. You could opt out should you wish but I wouldn’t recommend that. If I get a chance I’ll have a look at the board in the mess room tonight for the exact figures of pay.

I've heard Norwich pay is under review and it may be increasing in line with Cambridge drivers? Any news on this? Thanks

Sorry I’ve no idea I’m on the east. Afaik Norwich fully qualified is already a little bit higher than Cambridge.

Hi all
Applied and see the score on my application is a ten however I was invited to take online assessment it seems accepted on here that a score below 11 is not going to progress is this simply the facts or speculation and I guess that means every one will automatically get the online assessment email.
Thank you for your help

 

[Ziege]

I scored 10 and also got invited to take the online assessment.

Hi yeah so same as me but I thought I had read some where on these posts that scores below 11 will not progress which may well be true and it’s just the case that every one gets an automatic invite to online assessments

 

[Dave_blood]

I've scored an 11. What's the highest anyone seems to have got? Is it an automated scored, eg it searches for specific words you have used, or has somebody actually gone through it?

I would imagine automated as I applied very late afternoon yesterday and had a reply for assements early morning so out of office hours really .... oh well we can but complete the assessments and see how we do

 

[Cab2cab79]

Just gone back through the old threads it seems like it’s total speculation about what application scores are needed so good luck every one .....

I haven’t seen anything regarding this myself. Everything I have read seem to agree it’s an automated thing. Where did you hear that?

 

[monkeyskillz]

I’ve been looking through various other threads. Mainly with VSE in the title but got conflicting information.
Does anyone (possibly a current employee) know for certain whether GA are enhanced pass and if so do they require the VSE or just enhanced on the standard tests?
Many thanks if anyone can answer!

I didn’t do my assessments with GA but when I applied I was told they had to check if my results were “to their standard” and I’m sure I remember talking to the guys on my course about the VSE so I would say yes and yes.

 

[Teddyward]

According to the board Norwich is
24k to start
37 first year qualified
42 second year qualified
49 after that.

 

[Downs523]

Online application submitted Sunday

Online assessment completed a few hours ago...

Any ideas how long until I hear anything?

Thanks

Oh, I got this from another thread (Jan 19):
“You can apply to anyone that doesn’t use it right away and your ARL passes should be good enough for any other operator.
Greater Anglia dont use it”.
If GA do require VSE does anyone know if the six month between tries relates to all TOC’s or just the one I originally tried it with? Or would I need to contact The OPC? Cheers.

 

[Teddyward]

Unless something has changed in the last year AGA do not require VSE

 

[monkeyskillz]

Ah cheers. It was actually part of your reply on another thread I quoted!

 

[OneLowban]

Ah there you go, thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Timpg]

Well that’s the assessment done. Have to admit, some of the questions were very straight forward to answer. But others did make me think.... is this what they’re actually looking for???... anyway, good luck everyone

 

[Mekiz79]

I have just submitted my application, says that I scored 12. Maybe because I have already completed assessment centre with another TOC?

 

[Niek88]

Does anybody if your still required to take GA's sjt test if you have previously passed all of the psychometric tests. Applied Sunday and i haven't heard a thing.

 

[Twotwo]

Yes of course.

 

[Niek88]

Yes of course.

Ok. Thanks.

I got 12 and have also previously passed psychometric tests. Thing is though, as I pointed out to my mate who got a score of 11. It asks if you’ve attended driver assessment before, as a posed to, have you passed the tests before. He stated yes, but he didn’t pass the initial sift, before the psychometric assessments. I’m not sure on what basis the score is calculated, if it is calculated on something at all... who knows lol!!!

 

[Gorlash1886]

Same mine is listed as a 12 and I have never got through to the psychometric tests

 

[Arthurjack]

I’m guessing it will be a couple of weeks until we hear back for SJT results. Any idea on timeline and then when the assessments centres are likely to be?
