Good luck
Should be too long. You'll go for a medical with a condition of passing that you'll get your start date.
Then vetting etc. You sign some forms, confirm ID etc.
Lots of courses in Cardiff this year. 16 in total. 2 have been taken for qualified drivers coming into the loco link.
But you'll get a course this year definitely.
Thanks for the response. Any idea what the medical entails?

Heigh, weight, vision check, hearing test, ECG, lung capacity test.
Think that's about it for Medigold.

Good thing is the SJE isn't on itself marked as a pass or fail but combines with your 6 pre questions to form a score ontop of your actual mmi.
Will be probed on some of them aswell.

In the Assessments and Medical Sticky Thread, pretty much all information is available on there, outside of you're own ability on the day.
I'll link my own stage breakdowns. Has pretty much enough to give a general idea for all the main assessments.

Thanks mate i did pass the paper test. I was just saying what i failed on first time i applied. Got computer tests Wednesday
Break down of the day is as samzino lays out below tbh I felt I was caught off guard in the mmi I went through my scenarios using the STAR method be prepared when they start questioning you the reasoning behind your answers.
