Don't forget the forum search function as there should be quite a bit on EMR already

 

[Training]

They are sending dates out for the next stage.

Anybody received one for the assessment centre?

 

[SteveP09]

Hi training. I have my date for assessment day. It’s next week.

Anyone have any info on what to expect? I want to be as ready as possible.

 

[Paulflint]

Hi SteveP09 how did you get on? Mine is middle of Feb, any tips on what to expect now you've been through it?

 

[SteveP09]

Hi all, Anyone who did the assessment centre last week heard anything?

Paulflint -good luck with yours. Sorry, can't really tell you what to expect. but give it your best and try to enjoy it.

 

[Newbie-Train]

Yes, I got an email on Friday evening confirming I had passed the assessment day! Only took 2 days to come back to me, very fast.

Have you heard on yours?

Well done.

Unfortunately I was not successful. I will be trying again though. Just have to wait 6 months.

Sorry to hear - hope you have more luck next time.

I am sure the experience will put you in a good position next time

Hi Guys

Has anybody made it through to the Stage 3 – Competency based interview? I wondered if anybody has had their dates through yet?

Got an email last week confirming I had made it through & wondered when the next stage is, been doing lots of revision & keen to get it used!!

Hi all, has anyone who attended the EMR group assessment day on 11/2 heard anything?

 

[Paulflint]

SteveP09 - I understand now why you didnt say anything !
I'm pleased with the prep i did manage to do anyway as I was lucky enough to pass - just awaiting the next stage now. Commiserations to those that weren't successful but you'll in a great position next time around

Hi mate,

The last thing i attended was the OPC in the Stuart Hotel (Derby ) I've got an invite on 18th March back in Derby (locomotive house), is this what you're waiting for?

Hi All,

Recently got through to stage 2 of the EMR application stage 'assessment day'. Wondered if anybody could shed some further light on this for me? Provide some info on what I can expect on the day, thanks!

Hello!

I am also here to ask the same question..

I passed stage one and have now been invited to an assessment day, have you been already? Could you tell me about what you did on the day?

I want to prepare as much as possible!

Any advice is appreciated,

Kind Regards

Morning, I am not sure how much info is right to pass on but what I can safely say is if you revise 'interview style questions' & be very honest & pragmatic with your approach, you will do just fine. Remember safety is number one for importance!! Good luck!

Hi all,
Could anyone who was successful and are currently working in Derby as a depot driver please DM me what their shifts are typically like?
I am aware they’re predominantly nights.
I am through to the final stage, so trying to get an idea of what I (hopefully) might work!
Many thanks

I have also passes OPC Stage 1 Driver Testing and have been invited to the EMR assessment day with group and individual exercises. Is this the Day 2 assessment including the 6 tests in the original supplied notes (listed below) or something else?

WAFV Vigilance Test
ATAVT Perception Test
2Hand Coordination
Situational Judgement Exercise
Multi Modal Interview (MMI)
Written Communication Test

What you’ve described is stage 2 psychometric tests, which is stage 4 of the application process.

The assessment day is run by EMR and not OPC (psychometric tests).

The day comprises of (as you’ve mentioned) group and individual exercises. It’s a day to show off your personality! Good luck, it’s quite a fun day.

Thankyou very much for this. Do you recommend any preparation other than knowing about EMR and the role?

Thanks to Newbie-Train for earlier clarification as well.

Hey,

I passed my assessment day and I am waiting for a date for stage 3, can I ask what the interview was like ?

Thanks

 

[Mannion2k]

Does anyone know how long you usually wait for the result of The EMR Assessment Day (stage 2)?

After my assessment day I received my email around 7 days later. I think I remember Being told it could be around 10 days.

Stage 3 is just an interview with a driver manager & HR rep. Depends how you find interviews, they were very friendly & helpful, remember they want you to do well, these people don't want you to fail. I found remembering that helped me relax. Biggest tip I can give is do your research on NTS's!

About a week I think
