Exactly the same question I was going to ask. I have emailed OPC but no reply as yet.

No it does not it goes down as a pass but to national standards but does not count as a fail

No. I sat the tests in April and got enhanced on most but national on the tea-occ. I just couldn't continue my application with TPE but I could go to another toc that accepted the national standard the next day if I wanted to.

Just had my email, made the cut.

Just had my email, made the cut.

Congratulations!

If you don't meet the enhanced standard only the national standard when you do the paper tests for Avanti, does it go down as a fail on the database?

Shouldn't do, I've plenty of colleagues at TPE who didn't meet enhanced on the paper assessments but they met national, they just got sent home without sitting the computer tests, it doesn't go down as a fail. However if you can't resit for 6 months and it's not classed as a full national pass. If you go after 6 months for another national TOC you'd have to sit computer tests only.

Everyone still waiting for their emails don't despair. I've sat anxiously for 7 days and today I got the email saying I'd passed and now onto the next stage on the 23rd

 

[BlueMike26]

Congratulations!

Cheers mate, hope you hear soon too.

 

[KellyS]

Congratulations! What depot did you apply for?

Cheers, and yeah, same! If my errors were about the same number as your ones were then I think I may have just about made it, but sadly will have to still wait and see!

Bit late since I only just saw this now that I'm on PC, but congratulations to you too!

Just passed the paper tests for TFW not sure I should continue with the Avanti process now. As their enhanced standard could be different to TFW enhanced standard. It's it worth the risk of a possible fail??? Tough decision this!!!

 

[TP113]

Still waiting, not hopeful but if there is a small chance I have passed, what happens if I can't make the date they're offering for the assessment? Have they given you an alternative, or option to contact them to rearrange?

Nice one, cheers for that. I've just passed the paper tests for TFW not sure if the Avanti process is worth the risk of losing the pass

This is directly from the email I got, so it's your best answer:

"If you are not able to attend the assessment centre then do let us know as soon as possible, however, please be aware that your application may be placed on hold until such time when we will be running these assessments again. If you fail to attend on the day without letting us know beforehand, then you may not be invited to attend another assessment day."

I believe the second stage of tests are all standard tests that everyone applying to a TOC or a FOC does.

The only difference is I believe that Avanti look on the higher end of % of the tests than others.

It's entirely up to you what you do from here though I suppose it boils down to who would you prefer to work for more that fits your lifestyle

Thanks. Hopefully you receive yours soon too, it looks like they are still working through them. Just slowly

Hi, first post on here but been watching this thread for a while. My deadline was the 30th, got my successful email on Friday just gone inviting me to Crewe on the 22nd. Unfortunately, I am away that week so I contacted the lady who had emailed asking for an alternative date and she got back to me straight away to let me know they had availability on the 16th/18th so was able to move with no issues.

Initially when people started receiving their emails at the beginning of last week I was sure I wasn't going to get through but seemed to notice that all the people that day had been invited to a particular date and the emails for the next day were for the Assessment centre the day after the previous emails received so I was slightly optimistic and received the email to much delight!

Good luck! There are plenty of useful posts on the forum to help with preparing for it.

Just received my email, and I don't quite know how, but I did it! Assessment is on the 30th which should give me plenty of time to practice what I've been given!

Congratulations well done ! Was your application for Manchester ? What date did you submit your assessments? Still waiting !

My application was for Liverpool, and I submitted mine on the 27th October with a deadline of 1st November. So it seems six to seven days after the deadline is when you can expect to hear back if my application is anything to go by.

Congratulations. Figured you'd get through as you made similar amount of mistakes as I did

Afternoon all,

Well done to those who have made it through to the assessments. If you weren't so lucky don't be disheartened and give it another shot!

A friend of mine has managed to get through to the assessment centre having applied for Manchester Depot, they've received their email stating they will sit:

• The Trainability for Rules and Procedures Test Part 1 and 2
• The Group Bourdon Concentration Test
• The Test of Everyday Attention for Occupational Assessment (TEA-Occ)

They're panicking because they're unsure if these are the only tests they'll sit these tests or if they will sit other tests on the day (WAV, 2 hand joystick etc). Does anyone know if they'll just be these tests or the others included so they can practice the specifics accordingly?

Thanks and good luck to those attending!

It's just those stated. The computer tests are a separate day.

I don't think the email would omit details of what you're going to be doing on the day to be honest, so I don't see any reason to practice anything beyond the tests listed. I think the practice material attached to the emails are done for both the paper and computer based assessments regardless of whether or not you make it through one or the other.

Looks like it’s going to be another day of waiting

Congratulations well done. This waiting is killing me. I just want to be put out of misery.

Did mine on the 25th, deadline was 30th, Euston so I'm on day 8 since deadline and two weeks tomorrow since doing them. If I had enough nails to bite I probably would be

Evening all. Does anyone know if a CBI pass with Avanti would be accepted in place of an mmi with another TOC as a pass?

Hopefully that makes sense Thanks
