Hi how was it ? I’ve received an email last week from TFL saying in the next 2 weeks I’ll have to book for the assessment centre, there’s no much info on the assessment did you past yours ?? What was it ?
Not sure buddy. I got the same email. I haven’t been yet
That’s what I want to know too.
Any guys got any Info they can share?
It seems that many people had gotten the job and forgot about the forum as there’s no many people sharing information, once I get my assessment date with TFL I’ll be posting my own experiences and share as much as possible
things may have changed from when most of us had the interview.
The interview was 3 questions.
A time I had to deal with change
A time I had to follow safety rules
A time I had to work towards delivering For the bigger picture.
All answered in star format.
I didn't do a role play, I had to watch a short video and asked what was wrong with it and what I would do differently.
The interview and video was less then a hour.
Hope this helps and good luck
Have you started the role as yet?
Hi there guys, I started this original thread and like yourselves wanted so many Answers as there's nothing online or even on this forum.
I'm currently in training, the reason I can't answer some early questions are simply I can't remember, it took over a year from applying to start date, it's a very long drawn out process and trust me it's no quicker when you start, the saying is it's a marathon not a sprint.
There are no hidden answers trust me... If you get to start all will become clear as I still have loads of questions and I have started.
All I can tell you is the training is intense, takes around 4 months the staff and managers that I have come into contact with are fantastic. Watch you tube "TFL at war with fare dodgers" it gives you a good understanding of what to expect. Also if your ever in London at see some CPOS officers speak to them, there all very friendly ask them about the job.
Good luck with everything and trust me be patient, I know it's hard I went a whole year checking emails every 5 minutes.
Thank you very much for the reply mate all the best!!!
Is that for your video role play and interview?
Did you got a job offer on the same day you done the interview ?
TfL been sending this email was send on the 14th of February, I think he’s referring to the message below.

Ok that’s great!,Why they taking so long to give a start date have you email them ? I think the max I’ve seen people waiting is 6 months
I’ve also received this but didn’t get an email Friday. Is that the case with you or did you receive something?
Hello mate I just got this today!.. start loosing a bit of hope on this also people that already pass the assessment been waiting for ages I don’t know what is going on.

I am in the same boat Joe. I've contacted TFL twice now since I got that same message you received, more so to confirm the process is still going ahead!? as I've never really heard of this kind of delay without a real explanation. The previous two conversations with TFL Recruitment have essentially been "we don't know" which is kind of alarming. They couldn't even confirm if they had 'pulled the plug' or not?
I have asked staff around stations and a range of different answers but no Operations Officer had joined recently. The earliest was early 2023. Only spoken to a handful.
It seems they had a huge campaign with the Apprenticeships just recently which is coming to a close so that very well could explain the delay? The repeat message I hear is the length of time everyone has had to wait before progressing at every stage so there is hope. I may just wait until the end of April for a notice before I officially move on. I've not applied anywhere else as I'm keen on this role.
Keep me updated if you can, I'll do the same.

Hello mate just got this email today … it seems that they’ll be sending emails in mid April… also do you know the shift pattern ?
Thank for your application and your patience while we are working through the Operations Officer campaign.
Currently we have an extremely high number of candidates to work through at AC1 and we are anticipating that we will have invites sent out by mid April.
We are working through candidates as quickly as we can and will be sending invites in batches, but as you can appreciate the high volume does impact the speed in which we can deliver these assessments. Please note: You do not need to contact us, we will email you as and when dates are opened.
We would like to thank you for your support and patience during this time and will be in touch soon.

When did you apply?
Sometime in December.
Me too. I’m waiting for the next steps of the process. I haven’t yet received the above email. Called them though, they said it will happen within this month.
Hey, for operational Officer vacancy, for the interview stage, is it only Scenario based interview questions or will they add additional questions with the scenario based interview questions?
If so what sort of additional questions do they ask?
Please someone shed light on this

Does anyone know if is true that TfL operation officers when on strike ? Could it be the reason for all this delays in the recruitment process ?

TfL enforcement officers vital for safety and security escalate strikes
Pay strikes by hundreds of officers within the Compliance, Policing, Operations and Security Directorate (CPOS) at Transport for London (TfL) will escalate in February.

Hi All, I recently passed my vetting for this role.
I was told that start dates will be no earlier than April and there is a significant number of people of the waiting list, so my start date would likely be no earlier than Autumn. Did anyone else waiting for start dates receive something similar?
For those currently in training, how did you find the medical?
How is your training going? What is the dress code like – Office attire/ smart casual?

Hi mate how long did the whole process took ? Did you apply for days or nights ? Is it true that TFL mislead the salary ?

Hello,
Sorry to ask, but when did you apply?
I’ve applied in April 2024, received the conditional offer in July. I’m still going through the vetting at this stage.
Not sure if there’s anyone else in my position. I already emailed them a couple of times and I always receive the same answer, that vetting can take up to six months. It’s been 9 months already
