Yes you can change it, you will be asked to reply to the invitation email ASAP to confirm your attendance. I guess it’s better to try and take the date they give you so you can do it ASAP and get on with the process.





Hi all,

has anyone completed day one assessment yet? Have you been told your results on the day of assessment or awaiting news in the email?

If you did Stage 1 with Arriva at Swiss Cottage, you don’t get the results on the day. They email you.

Oh it’s the waiting game, I’m going to start checking my emails from Monday every 5 minutes again haha

did u have to wait long time for your email after day one assessment?

 

[Quin79]

I still haven't heard anything back from application. Assuming sifted but nobody has responded. Ah well. Awaiting MMI with another TOC anyway as passed DMI

 

[missammi]

I think there’s still loads of people who heard nothing back yet.

But Congrats on your other application, that’s great news and good luck for your MMI!

Does anyone know if the situational judgement will be deciding options from 1 to 4 or 1 choice only?

Hi, is anyone who applied for New Cross Gate still waiting to hear back after replying back to the email they sent in regards to what depot you applied for?

Hi, is anyone who applied for New Cross Gate still waiting to hear back after replying back to the email they sent in regards to what depot you applied for?

Most of the people at the assessment yesterday did apply for NXG but a person I know also said he was told that he is not going any further. So either way you should receive a reply in due course.

Yes I am. I sent an email today to check I was still in the process. They said they are going through thousands of applications and will respond accordingly when get to mine. Patience it is then

Has anyone received anything following their attending the initial assessment day? I was told at the Willesden assessment day yesterday that they aim to let us know if we’ve been successful within 7-10 working days, so I’m just curious as to what those who had their assessments last week/two weeks ago have experienced (i.e., is this timeframe realistic?).

I heard within 3 working days - had mine on a Thursday and heard back on the following Tuesday. I think it depends on when they can firm up a date for your Stage 2 at the OPC, as they don't send out a 'congratulations, you passed Stage 1' just an 'Invitation to Stage 2 on x date' email that confirms you passed Stage 1 at the required level.

 

[Sunny321]

Hi guys could anybody suggest me how many do we need to prioritize and fill in the answer sheet in driver fault finding test . Thanks in advance

 

[sp98]

Cheers, shanshine and hopeful_driver. Much appreciated!

Well done... Did they give you much notice for stage 2?

 

[Shanshine]

I got probably less notice than for stage one. Got the invite yesterday for the following Friday (8 days)

 

[traingeek97]

I had the first assessment centre yesterday. Thought it went pretty well! Only managed 11 (of the 20) questions on the fault finding test though. Hoping the ones I did do will be correct and that will outweigh not finishing the sheet.

 

[Reece E]

I'm sure it was 15 questions in 10 minutes. Not 20. Unless you say a different one?

Everything at such short notice makes things very difficult to organise.

Although saying that, I don't hold too much hope for getting to stage 2 anyway... I messed up and started putting answers in the wrong boxes and had to go back to correct it.

Hi lamchop, i will be going for first stage assessment . I am bit concerned about how to fill the answers in the driver fault finding test , do we just need to prioritize one and look for the only fault code ? Cheers

Congrats to everyone who got to the 2 stage

Everything is explained when you get there, and you get to try examples and ask for clarification for anything you do not understand.
