So its just a matter of waiting. Will there be courses for each vacancy (Hornsey/Cricklewood/Orpington? Or do you think successful applicants from each vacancies will be merged into one class?
I honestly don't know. Logically I should think they do what comes up for each depot but then again it could just be where all the main driver shortages are, but who knows.

Hi. I was informed the following day.
Oh wow, been waiting 2 weeks now. Sorry to bug you, how long did you have to wait for the MMI and which was harder? Would a success in DMI be a good factor that one is almost there ?

Unfortunately i was unsuccessful in my Dmi but wish u all best of luck.
Make sure u have strong examples of ;
When you had to pass difficult msg a cross and why was it difficult.
When u had to be flexible and how this made u feel.
Example when your passenger wasnt happy with the outcome?
Why do you want to be a driver?
What do u know about the toc?
What obstacles drivers face ?
Thats all i can remember from my questions ;) good luck

Would not worry about he length of your interview, some last longer than others , all depends how you put the information across

Hear back the next day after my MMI and DMI. Found the MMI slightly harder. DMI was more relaxed.

Yes mate done the MMI as well , the Bloke who done mine at the OPC was really good so I did not find that to bad , mine lasted about 20 mins.

For DMI was informed next day for arriva and, same day for GA , however just because you ain’t heard anything means it is bad news , TOC’s can be annoyingly slow to get in touch , have you contacted them at all ?

Hi guys, are there still people waiting for interviews or even assessments dates? I rang Trudi-Ann over a month ago, I asked her whether my application had been rejected or not, she said it hadn't but so far I haven't yet received any email for interview dates, and here on the forum there are people already talking about starting dates for courses. I'm a bit concerned.
