Trainee tram driver (Croydon)

[alanyoung165]

Thanks pal, I have another stage 1 on Monday for GWR...
With RAATS you just need to fully understand the question as they twist the answer to try and catch you out.

Does anyone know if the online test is tine based or score based or both ???

Both matter but accuracy is more important.

Oh no! I failed the scaat with Freightliner on 31st July. I don't think I'll be on the assessment day invite list! Thanks for letting me know though

. I thought Freightliner only use the bourdon test ?

It was an online scaat for groundstaff role. They probably do indeed use group bourdon for any driving stuff

Anyone else through to the medical stage?

Anyone else through to the medical stage?

Anyone else still at the application stage for this one? I got an email back in November advising to keep waiting. Would hate to wait this long to not get to the assessment centre

Hi mate I got an assessment day coming up really soon. I was just wondering what sort of things I need to prepare for on the day its in the Croydon depot for a trainee tram driver role.

 

[Nevergiveup]

When did you apply? Also what tests are on assessment day? I’ve passed online assessments and was told by someone that next stage will be telephone interview, is that correct?

I applied on the 10th Feb, was emailed today (18th) saying I had been successful in the application and to book an assessment centre date, no phone interview and the email said they'd snail mail me some practice materials

 

[Nevergiveup]

I applied on 7th but not heard from them after passing online assessments, I guess it’s either because of my distance from depot or not being in top scoring bracket but let’s see by end of the week.
Goodluck with you assessments

I applied last week and did the online assessments, on the 18th I received an email saying to book my assessment day. Not sure about no telephone interview.

Yeah I can say the exact same. I emailed the careers team asking when I will receive these practice materials they told me 7 days prior to the assessment day I will receive through the post.

 

[Nevergiveup]

I’m guessing all those that applied on the re-posted advert are being invited. I applied on the first advert before they reposted it. Anyway will wait another week and see

How was stage 1?
Only just seen your post. I had RAAT test first followed by the SCAAT. Numbers were cut from 12 to 4

How was the stage 1? Any details or anything to look out for please do share. I got mine on Thursday.

Hi All,
I’m waiting for a date for a Drive Assessment & Interview for Croydon Trams.
Can anyone with prior knowledge please give me some valued information on this, especially the Drive Assessment as I have no idea what this entails.
Please feel free to PM me if that’s better.
cheers
Cheers!
