Yes, you have completely misunderstood the point, but ok


My point was TFW are the only TOC I can apply for without having to relocate. There is no issue with them, only the people who say when you fail DMI “ you have the assessments under your belt” you will probably know yourself, that trainee driver jobs after this will be few and far between, and assessments from this recruitment would probably expired. So the point I’m making is that I felt that added pressure that’s all

Fair point sound for of a bitch and moan rather that a point you was putting accross. Good luck with the process its alot harder when your actually doing to the course than what youd expect currently learning about train prep

A friend of mine told me it was difficult, he has recently passed out but his course was also disrupted due to Covid.

All going ok - so far
Week 3 completed wrapping up train prep early next week
Luckily we had a fair bit of hands on time with 150s spare at Chester this week
