Hi, just joined but been following for a while. I had my MMI on 4th Jan, got my pass result on the 5th and then on the 12th was invited to my DMI which is this Friday 26th (in Chester as N Wales based). Pleasantly quick, I had expected to wait longer.

I’m still waiting to get on assessment day, I’ve missed out 4 times so far. Replied in 3 minutes on one of them. It’s very frustrating. My first time applying so it’s all very new to me

Recently passed the DMI in Cardiff, now in the talent pool. Can anyone confirm what next steps before I get a course? Medical, vetting etc? Also how often do courses come around?

Should be too long. You'll go for a medical with a condition of passing that you'll get your start date.

Then vetting etc. You sign some forms, confirm ID etc.

Lots of courses in Cardiff this year. 16 in total. 2 have been taken for qualified drivers coming into the loco link.

But you'll get a course this year definitely.

Thanks for the response. Any idea what the medical entails?

Good thing is the SJE isn't on itself marked as a pass or fail but combines with your 6 pre questions to form a score ontop of your actual mmi.

Will be probed on some of them aswell.
