It looks we're all in the same boat regarding the dmi. Hopefully it'll all happen in January, which is only a few days away. Happy new year to all!

Well done! Not long now. I'll be keeping an eye on mine then...
If I have been accepted and I have accepted their offer and signed, and I will pass the reference the background check and the criminal record check, is there any chance that my training place will be given to someone who scores more highly than me? I need to give notice soon.
No. You have been formally offered employment and you've accepted, subject to reference checks, medical and alcohol/drugs screening.
Congratulations.
Hi congratulations when do you start and what depot have you applied for ?

Congrations, that makes 4 of us here starting on the 25th at Old Oak now. Does anyone know the size of the groups? Also has anyone heard about a date for the medical who's starting on the 25th yet?
Good day all. Congrats to all who got in!
I've got stage 2 assessment centre coming up (the one with MMI).
I just want to know the following:
===
1. For the pictures test, what kinds of pictures do they show? Is it kitchens like in the practice material or is traffic images, and what are you meant to look for?
2. Are the SJT questions train-based or general?
3. Is the MMI interview based on the answers you gave in the SJT test or is a "describe a time when" kind of interview? Should I research the company etc?
4. How was the difficulty of the day compared to assessment day stage 1?
5. Any other handy info!
===
Many thanks in advance!

1. It’s traffic scenes, you look for the same things in each photo, it’s all very clearly explained before you start so don’t stress this one too much
2. The SJT I sat for Freightliner I can’t quite recall, sure someone will assist
3. MMI is purely a “give an example of” interview, no company info needed at all
The following day for me.
I got an email the same day. But still waiting for any information about medical examination.
I found out on the day of my interview. I reckon they just trying to get through everyone as quickly as possible and also depends on what depot you choose.
14 working days later
How did that make you feel?
It feels great but I'm a little worried about the pictures test. What sort of things do they have you look for?

Same in every picture, cars bikes pedestrians traffic signs traffic lights.
Thanks for your reply. So does it go like this:
They first tell you that in the next picture, you will need to observe how many pedestrians, what colour the signs are, what colour the lights are AND THEN they show the picture AND THEN they ask you the answers?
Or is it, they show you images, then they ask you the questions which you did not know before they showed you the picture?
Thanks a lot!
Pictures:
Look at photo for 1 sec.
Photo disappears.
Then get asked to Press:
1 - for Pedestrians
2 - for road signs
3 - for traffic lights
4 - for cycles and motorbikes
5 - for motor vehicles
[or some combination very similar].
Then when you come to the MMI, you will be asked a series of standard questions, during your answers you will repeatedly be asked: "how did that make you feel?".

That's very useful to know, thank you!
Yes I am waiting. Been about 6 weeks now.
Same. It appears it takes longer than for other depots.
"How did that make you feel?" hahahahahahaha I thought my interviewer guy was going nuts, like this was genuinely all he cared about, my poor feelings! Was quite irritating actually, as towards the end I started just telling him how it made me feel, but he still frickin asked so I'd end up repeating myself and feeling stupid that I didn't have anything else to say. Oh well!
I passed my DMI months ago for Gidea Park depot. Haven't heard anything since other than they are prioritising other depots first. Probably why you've not had yours yet
ok thanks, that would make sense then...
