Northern - Driver Training Apprenticeship, Blackpool and Liverpool (07/04/22)

[NorthernTech]

I can't remember when the deadline was exactly (I applied for Liverpool), but I submitted my application 07//04/2022. Last email saying my application is being considered was sent 14/06. Wondering whether this is typical or not - can't seem to find a recruitment email to chase up either

I emailed them in May with a query and got a reply, the address was [email protected]

For the Blackpool post, I’ve had both driver manager interview and psychometrics. I know of other people that have been rejected, and some that are haven’t had an answer.

Is that for this post advertised in April or a previous advertisement for Blackpool?

The April one

Do you mind if I ask if you are already working on the railway?

Looks like things are moving. I think the ones that haven't been rejected and waiting are waiting to see if the ones picked fail at any stage. We then might get a chance. Otherwise we are just waiting on a rejection unfortunately. That is just how I am reading it.

Is that based on Mindtheegap's post or do you know others that have been progressed?

I've based it off mindthegaps post. I'm sure there will be more people in his situation.

Yeah you are probably right. There will be some not on here and some playing their cards close to their chests.

Anyone heard anything? How is mindtheegap getting on?

Got the same email under shortlisting. I'm just hoping that I get a chance at the tests because I've never got past the application stage so far.

 

[micker001]

Still ongoing this 1. Anyone heard anything or got further in the process?

 

[Fran1878]

Nothing since the August update for me

I had an email last week saying I wasn't successful, so I guess no news is good news for those still in the running.

Sorry to hear! Was this for Liverpool or Blackpool?

I've had another email today that I'm still under shortlisting, guessing they've sent another round of these emails out to others as well
