Has anyone who was on the stage 1 assessment on 12th March had a response either way yet? Appreciate we are unlikely to hear due to the current climate but just wanted to check...!

Hi. I had assessment with Arriva on 12th (stage 1), haven’t heard anything either.
Anyone know any info? It’s past 10 working days now.

Heard back just now via email - passed stage one which is good but all recruitment now on hold until further notice so they’ll be in contact when the situation changes

Well done!
Are some people still waiting for an invite to stage 1 or is that just me?
I am as well.

Personally I did the group bourdon and the SJT as I’d already passed the others previously. The other 2 tests being run on the day were the DFFT and one other (attention test but can’t remember the term for it!)
Cheers for letting me know mate!
Are you an internal candidate? I applied for the position at New Cross Gate but haven’t heard anything from the recruitment team. It’s been 2 months. I guess I must’ve been unsuccessful at the paper sift.
Has anybody heard anything that is neither internal or had already done assessments with another TOC?
I have passed my assessments with another TOC and haven’t heard anything. Perhaps it’s to do with the depot you applied for. I know ARL are probably the only TOC to use VSE, SJT and DFFT, along with the other psychometric tests.
With the current climate being as it is now, Im assuming all recruitment is on hold for now.

External candidate - I’ve applied for the Willesden depot - not sure if that makes a difference or not!

Morning all. My son just received an email saying they have a course planned to start on 22nd June. And he will be on it if it goes ahead. Obviously dependant on the current situation.
But at least it’s a date!
But at least it’s a date!
Congratulations.
Yes. It's been confirmed 22nd June.
My start date has been moved from 27th April to 1st June and now 22nd June.

Same course! He was originally told start of June.
As I said to him, you have a date to work to now. It may not be then, but it is something.
Good luck.

My son passed with Freightliner in December 2019. He has heard nothing since the email from them saying 'we will contact re your DM interview'.
So been applying for every job since.

Did you pass at the OPC? Have arriva not started since the last recruitment which was Sept_oct 2019?

I don't know what is OPC, last arriva recruitment was in February

OPC is the company a lot of TOC’s & FOC’s use for the psychometric tests and modular interview. Not sure if they have other branches, but they have one in Watford.

I see. They'll probably want us to reapply by the time we reach 2021 as the info on our applications will be less relevant. This sounds very much like Northern Rail before it was nationalised
