Hi all
I came across the traindriver.org website earlier and it promotes (probably runs) the ‘how2become’ courses which prep you for the train driver interview process.
What are people’s thoughts on this website and its courses? Obviously I’m sceptical. Are these courses any more useful than the interview prep literature that the TOCs send you or not particularly?
I’m hoping to get onto the railway via a Host or Guard role in the next few months with the aim of applying for trainee driver roles internally as they arise. Another question I have is would I learn more in these roles, e.g. being around people in the industry and picking up bits and pieces of knowledge as I go - than I would by doing one of these courses or not necessarily?
Lots of questions I know but I’d really appreciate it if someone could shed a bit of light for me!
Best wishes
