Ah, I don't know then buddy if you've not done anything other than the online tests you may be out the running this time, it's difficult to tell.
Just keep applying, you'll get there.

That's good! At least there's progress I've not heard anything since the DMI

I've heard nothing after DMI either.

Me neither but at least someone has heard something meaning they're actually getting through them.
Which depot did you apply for?

What assessments are left? I thought it was just a medical after the dmi?

OPC assessments

usually it is, but XC do DMI first so it's still OPC assessments and MMI to do.
Good luck.

I’ve already past them at advanced for freightliner. Would I have to do them again?

It should carry over then, as long as it's in date.

That entirely depends. Enhanced level is just a word, different TOC'S have different pass rates for enhanced.
Enhanced can be different higher pass rates, extra tests or both. You'll have to just see when they get back to everyone whether you need to do them or not.

I have a "standard" psychometric pass and each element (paper tests, computer based tests and M.M.I.) is just pass or fail (I have a paper copy of it). My understanding is the enhanced level, is when you also have a D.F.F.T. (Driver fault finding test) pass as well, I might be wrong but that's what I was told.

Thanks for the responses. Makes more sense now.
I’ll just see what they say and go from there.
The struggle continues, lol.

I did Avanti last year and theirs is enhanced, but as I said. Enhanced can mean a high pass score, additional tests or both. Avanti doesnt do DFFT but they have more pre-assessment tests and their pass rate is considered enhanced also.
Some toc's have "enhanced" but that's their own set standard and some allow just a standard national pass which may or may not be a set standard and could also well be toc specific.
From reading other threads on here it seems that XC is a pass at national level for the OPC tests. Freight companies, Avanti, LNER and TPE use advanced standards.
For anybody that did the DMI at Edinburgh the last two days, how do you think it went?

They did say you would hear back either way, I somewhat unexpectedly got my call on Friday afternoon about my outcome.
