Was on 24/09, and I called them today, they told me a couple of weeks more...

Couple of more weeks!? Well I guess we just need to wait I had my DMI last week cannot really say how it went probably same as you 50/50 but lets see. Some people have got an email so quickly and some are still waiting longer.. so just have to be patient and hope for the best!!

Just passed the 1st assessment day today - quite brutal. 16 people whittled down to 4 after the first tests.

Roll on the 2nd stage in November, plenty of time to swat up for the interview part.

Well done...I got through yesterday as well

Same here, had my dmi last Friday. Felt it went really well but you just never know. They said i would find out within 2 weeks so will give it another week or so then maybe call hr if I haven’t heard anything
What type of questions will they be asking? Will they ask the normal stuff like.. give an example where u have had to concentrate for long periods etc? Did any of the questions throw you?

Also just heard back that I passed the vse and SJT which I completed on the 8th August. Had got to manager interview stage last year with MTR but never received an email to attend it so have been asked to complete the OTDPQ and then onto the manager interview. Back to revision it is now!
What’s a OTDPQ?

They will ask 3 competency based questions, these will be similar to ones asked in your mmi which could be about a similar job as a train driver, concentration, following rules etc
In all honesty none of the questions threw me off and I was pretty confident when I came out I had done enough (or at least the best I could have done).

Have you heard anything yet regarding your DMI? I had mine today and they said it could take a couple of weeks to hear anything. You may have to wait a little longer?

Yes mate got email today confirming I have passed my dmi. I posted it up here at around 14:10 but for some reason the post is awaiting moderator approval?

Congratulations man, I have passed too. Let's wait for the course dates now.

Best wishes for everyone.

As mentioned I left the interview with that 50/50 feeling and at the end I've made it.

My friend still has his MMi to complete so could be a longer wait then the predicted mid November to hear back regarding course dates as all the DMi interviews need to have been completed

I don't think they gonna wait ALL the interviews, probably they will do it in batches. And they will close the first one with all the interviews to mid-November or something like it.

There is some people with their first assessment scheduled for January, and when I asked at the interview about the planned dates for the courses, they said that they are aiming to have the first group at February.

Maybe we won't need to wait more than expected. Fingers crossed.
