GTR online assessment

[dan1023]

Not heard anything either, I did the online assessment thursday last week

 

[Jme_Bud]

By online assessment do you mean the questionnaire? If so yes that is what I did. It had to be submitted by Sunday 19th.

Still waiting here too. Hopefully we will find out this week.

 

[Raymondava]

Yer thats the one

 

[Raymondava]

I wanna no if all applicants got the questionair does anyone know

 

[Jme_Bud]

Not everyone got them, some were rejected after application stage.

 

[Raymondava]

Thats agood start for us then

 

[Raymondava]

From what I have heard this questionair was done on assesment day so they have changed it to online before assesment day to narrow it down I suppose

Yeah, I thought I had read that somewhere. I also read on another forum about one applicants story. He was made to wait 3 months after passing the assessment day before being offered an interview! I think he said it was nearly a year and a half after initially sending off the application!

 

[Raymondava]

Yeah ive seen a few of those. Where do you live.

 

[Jme_Bud]

I am from Ashford, but now live in Sittingbourne. Yourself?

 

[Raymondava]

Norwood mate

 

[chooochoooo]

Same still waiting. Checking my email twice daily lol

 

[Leeder]

Same here. The suspense is killing me. Looks like I can be checking emails everyday for the next year!

Oh well. Least I have train simulator to keep me busy. Practise signals etc

 

[Raymondava]

Leeder where did you get simulator

 

[Inamberclad]

Still waiting too. If I remember correctly it said at the end of the test that the mark would be passed back to Govia and they would be in contact. Assuming this isn't a generic message and each answer had a score attached then hopefully we won't be waiting long.

I was very lucky to have even completed the online assessment. I received the email on friday 17th at 7pm to complete assessment by end of play sunday. I did not check my email until saturday evening!

Still waiting here too. I was hoping it would be this week as I would thought the answers would be easy to score.

And a guy called squirrels does a lot of routes/scenario reviews

I suggest the uk pack for £20. 60% off at the mo as they just released a new software 3 days ago called train sim world but that only comes with an american freighter/line at present. the one I've linked has most uk routes you can add all different train classes. Not up to the company's level of detail as their one, but good for concentration,route learning and theory never the less. Some routes can take 3 hours or more to drive so good concentration practice aswell.

This guy does awesome vids on signals and route learning

YouTube has been a great help for all things "learning to become a train driver" From Interview processes, questions, cab rides and theory. and also train simulator 2017 vids

Any movement on the reply front anywhere?

 

[Inamberclad]

Nothing for me yet.

 

[Leeder]

Same here. Anyone bought the simulator?

 

[Jme_Bud]

Nope, heard nothing either.

 

[wannabe driver]

im gonna take his a a good sign then...

 

[stretchdj74]

Same here. Anyone bought the simulator?

Nothing here either, although I did buy the game and gave it a try the other day. Interesting to play but have not found a way to activate the deadmans activated which I think would be useful.

 

[Jme_Bud]

So happy! I got an email inviting me to attend the assesment! So worth the wait, hope everyone else has got theirs too.

 

[Raymondava]

Well done mate. Ive heard nothing so far

 

[Raymondava]

When did u get the email

 

[Jme_Bud]

When did u get the email

I got it about 1.30pm. I wouldn't worry, the way they work doesn't seem very consistent in the past.

It almost seems like a one in one out policy. Perhaps when someone fails the assessment they call on another applicant?

 

[Raymondava]

Ok well done again. Whens your assesment
