TPE trainee drivers

[387star]

I was there yesterday - done MMI but didn't hit TPE's standard for the co-ordination test (2 joysticks one!) but was told it would be a pass with most other TOC's. I'm hoping I've passed the MMI and will be quite happy with that as Tyne and Wear metro hopefully re-advertising later in the year.

Get the impression first group have higher standards than some tocs

Yes they do, the assessment day staff told us that it was an 'enhanced pass' with TPE with the MMI just being a pass or fail marking.

Has anyone at all heard back from their stage 2 MMI interview from over the last few weeks? If so how long did you wait?

Given they know as soon as the interview has finished its frustrating they keep you waiting!!

 

[Bert and Ernie]

Was that for stage 2?

I was at Hull last week for stage 2, still not heard anything back from the MMI.

A friend of mine was in hull for stage 2 last week, big lad grey hair he found out mid week he passed

What depot has your friend applied for?

I had my stage 2 in Hull as well, just waiting to hear back on my MMI. Has anyone else from stage2 heard back as yet? Bert and Ernie - has your friend been invited for a final interview or just advised he passed?

Perhaps they're waiting for candidates to complete stage 2 in Manchester before they release full results to all.

He's applied for Blackpool North, I know of two internals who have passed the assessments for BPN but not yet been given interview dates. I also know one external who's passed the physcometric and has his interview for BPN tomorrow

Also the rumour is that there are interviewing only four candidates for each post! And one job for each post and if the other pass then they will be entered into a talent pool

 

[Jacobs1]

Interesting! Thanks for your reply.

Hi all, just reading these threads after sitting the assessment and like a lot of people I'm now waiting for the MMI results. Is it true above that this is a pass or fail and not like the old interview which was fail, borderline pass and so on.
Do you have any info on how it's scored, is it an overall rating or pass for each answer given?
And has anyone else heard?

 

[benno79]

It's a pass or fail for each question

 

[Yook]

Ok thanks

 

[Kenni]

Does anybody know if all Stage 2 assessments have been completed yet?

 

[Yook]

The final date available was 2nd May.

 

[Kenni]

Ah okay thanks.

 

[Siren]

14th of May, actually

 

[Kenni]

I wonder how many have passed stage 2 then as I'm sure assessment dates kept being added.

 

[Doobyjangler]

14th of May, actually

Definitely "the last day of the campaign" today folks, straight from the horses mouth in Manchester earlier.

Do you mean today, as in 3 May? Because I know that can't be right.

Nope, posted it yesterday evening having had an assesment that day. Administrator said we were the last bunch.

 

[Everywhere]

Its quiet on here! No one heard back from the MMI yet?

 

[Kenni]

Afternoon Chaps and Chapesses. Anyone heard back from the recent stage 2 assessments yet?

 

[BLUENSA]

Yes. Just. Interview time for me.

 

[jameshammond]

Well done bluensa! Which depot have you gone for? When did you have your assessment?

 

[Kenni]

Yes. Just. Interview time for me.

Have you been invited for interview or have you just been informed that you've passed the assessments?

 

[Doobyjangler]

Yes. Just. Interview time for me.

Nice one, congrats.

 

[Kenni]

Anyone heard anything with regards to interviews yet?

 

[Jacobs1]

I've not heard anything yet.
Others have, but I wonder if it's done by depot now by the individual managers?

Hmm, which depot have you applied for?

 

[Jacobs1]

Manchester.
I'm thinking perhaps that's had the most applicants which is why it's taking longer than other depots to select interviews. Just a theory though, I could be completely wrong!!

I wonder how many passed stage 2 for Manchester....

 

[SB48188]

I was told at my assessment day 2 (1st May) that the manager interviews for Manchester would be 13th, 14th and 15th May - I've still not heard anything yet (I'm guessing quite a few are in the same boat?) so either the interview dates have been pushed back, it's a last minute thing or I've failed the MMI and I'll only find out at a later date...? Anyone else heard anything positive or negative?
