Has anyone received the email with the link on for the DMI I've confirmed my date and time but haven't yet received the link

I attended the stage 2 assessments in Watford on Monday, found out about 2 hours later I'd passed the MMI, but no news on the DMI yet

I think my application has been lost, the last contact I had with them was that they'd be in touch with OPC test dates for part-assessments as I had already passed some of the tests to their standard. I've emailed them but looks like I've missed the boat.

That sucks. Have you tried calling them?

Just had a response today in fact, looks like I was being overdramatic :oops: and they're in the process of booking further dates. I was only worried as I'd originally been missed off the emailing list of people who were requiring a part-assessment and I was wondering if the same had happened again.

That's good, hopefully you get through the last lot of tests. With so many applicants I'm not surprised that there are some admin slip ups.

Hey guys, first time posting. I applied back in July last year and received the same email as a few others have already put into this thread, regarding seeking clarity from senior management. Then out of the blue today I receive an email asking me to complete the video interview, almost 9 months later. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else? And just wonder why after all this time I’m suddenly being progressed (not complaining though)

Also I’m not expecting an instant response from them, but how long did it take people to hear after their video interview? Thanks

Hi there, after the video interview, it goes pretty quick tbh. You know within a few days if you've passed. Though not sure with the next stage if you have to sit the tests, might be a bit of a wait for those.

I've just had my medical invite after passing the interview in Feb.

Ahh, hopefully it won’t be too much of a wait then! I haven’t sat any tests yet, so i’m expecting it to be quite a while til I get a date for those if I pass the video interview.

Well done on the medical though. Hope all goes well and you get a start date soon!

Hi guys, I have just been invited to take part in a video interview. I have clicked the link provided for practice questions but unsure which section I should be practicing. Couldn't see a section relevant to the role. Has anyone had the same or any idea which one to practice. Any info would be much appreciated.

When I did mine, I just practiced with a customer service role one.

Excellent, thanks for your help. That's the one I was steering towards but didn't want to end up practicing the wrong thing.

Good luck with the rest of your experience, hope all goes well.

Core route is Northampton - Euston. This is what newbies learn. After a year or 2, you could go into a link that does the Watford - St Albans branch. Longer serving drivers work the Bedfords and to Rugby.
Northampton is a sub-depot of Bletchley, and a lot more drivers there work to Birmingham and Crewe as well as
Having been through the testing process twice, and interviewed by 2 different TOCs, I can say it is tough but don't give up :smile:
I'm going through driver training with WMT. If anyone has questions about applying, testing, training, and/or Bletchley depot specific, just pop me a message and I'll do my best to answer.. Since lockdown, I've had route learning DVDs and my rules to revise, but still spare time on my hands. Hopefully I can be of some help. Good luck to all!
Hi, I have just been invited to take part in a video interview which I am going to carry out tomorrow. Is there anything out of the ordinary that I should prepare myself for? Any tips will be appreciated

Had an email from Olivia today stating medical email should be arriving to me soon with a date for the New Street course starting 5th July. Fingers crossed medical should be no issue

Dan, any tips in regards to the video interview? Not the DMI or MMI. I haven't heard anything since applying so I am very hopeful that I will be considered?
