Not too bad tbh. Probably the quickest couple hours of my life though but I think I done ok. Just not looking forward to the week to 10 day wait to see if I'll be progressing to the next stage, every time an email comes through my heart will be out of my chest haha.
Was yours in the morning?

Good to meet you also. Hopefully we all get through to the next stage. I did think about using disinfectant however that wouldn't get rid of the mental scarsNot too bad tbh.

@StuM I’m sure you’ve done great mate. I’m Thursday 9am. There’s a public car park on other side of station just of Salem st so was just going to park there, or did anybody find somewhere better?
The main road directly outside had a couple of spaces when I got there at around 8.15.
@StuM Yeah these were my thoughts exactly. I’m hoping it’s not going to be a case of them filling all the available spaces and me missing out even though I passed the tests. I emailed back yesterday asking for clarification on possible dates etc but yet to receive a reply. Trying to give my current employer plenty of notice as it’s notoriously difficult to get time off! Good luck on your application fella - sounds like you’re ticking along nicely!

You get any response back from them pal?
I am in same situation as yourself.
Hello mate, I received a reply just saying that they couldn’t confirm any dates. Hoping to hear something back from them soon! Let me know if you hear anything mate.

Attended Training Centre this morning for (hopefully) first round of tests. Best of luck for those who've got this far.
They want enhanced? Wow
Yeah, must be new this time around. Typically!

When I attended last week the guy from the OPC did mention that metro was now enhanced standard. I thought he meant all passes were enhanced but different companies had different levels of enhanced. I’m still waiting on my results.

Well done, how many days was that to hear back? Did you get feedback (you got through so did you want it?). Have you been given a date for the next set of tests?

Top man! Got my successful email this morning as well. Only problem for me is they want me back on 14th and I'm offshore so I'm gonna have to try and change. If not then I'll have to take the trip off because I want this job! Haha

Cheers. Hoping I make the cut. Felt as if I struggled with the first of the TEA-OCC tests but was more confident in the 2nd and 3rd, think that might be my weak point.

Fingers crossed for you mate, when did you do your tests? Hopefully not much longer to wait as that's the worst part lol

My next assessment is on the 13th September. It took about 10 days to hear back. It was just an email to say successful to the next stage

Brilliant news buddy. I'll have to try and book some time of work as mine is at 9am. Looks like a hotel for me the day before
Well done to all the guys who have passed so far. I received an email the other day to say I was also successful...thankfully. Next assessment on the 16th.
Is it the 3 tests involved with the Vienna test? (2 hand co-ordination, flashing grey box thing and the one where an image appears for a second or so)
Also how are people feeling about the MMI?

I believe that's correct three tests yes.
Personally I am extremely nervous about the MMI seems like its going to be the hardest part of the whole recruitment process.
Yeah, I agree.
Do you know if there is a further interview after this or if this is the last stage?

Just received email saying I’ve passed and onto next stage also. Excited and nervous at the same time.
There will be a DMI after that I presume.

Congratulations mate, that's great news.
Its a loooong process, but 100% worth it
