Hi
What kind of questions did they ask at face to face?
There weren't any surprises, just a small set of structured competency based questions which warranted a STAR response. If you use this material and think of a couple examples for each that would prepare you well!

Congratulations! Are they soon? Or enough time to prepare?
I imagine they're quite regular, I had mine 1 week after the interview. A week was enough time to prepare - I gave up my weekend and a couple of evenings. The prep pack they give you is really helpful and covers all of the tests.

Thanks very much. Monday. I got the info with a week’s notice. Hope you get the news you’re after soon.

I assume they’re fairly regular too. I don’t know for sure, but I think the people who do the testing do it for various companies and roles so test days are probably happening all the time.

Does anyone happen to know a contact for the people resourcing team apart from replying to the emails they send. I got an email to say I was lucky enough to have passed the train manager interview last Monday with a potential psychometric test date 21st of sept but have heard nothing since and they don’t reply to the email address they email you from. Would have thought they would have sent the practice material or confirmation by now as it’s only a week tomorrow?

They should get in touch with you today as 7 days ahead is the deadline for giving you the prep material. I got mine 7 days ahead (on the dot!) and I know a couple of others did too. Hang tight!

Still not heard anything so probably won’t be doing it next week now hopefully they will be in touch soon. Thanks for the reply

Just wondering if anyone knows when the courses are? I’m aware of the November course, but also heard there will be courses in the new year. Does anyone know if these courses are confirmed and when they would start?
