Does anyone know if they use CBI or MMI?
It’s MMI

Training start date advertised states January 2025, I passed DMI in June with ARL for New Cross Gate depot, still waiting for start date. Hope they join up start dates in January with this Wilesden campaign.

There is a Jan course for Willesden, but I thought they would have offered those of you in the talent pool a choice? Next scheduled NXG course is April 25.

Also am sure someone has probably answered this before but for some reason I can't find current answers to it .Does anyone know how the DFFT assessment is like or what it entails?
Appreciate any answers!

Indeed is gone. Recruiter Alexandra has confirmed that it has reached the maximum number of applicants and, as I warned, has closed early. Let the show for those who have applied begin! Good luck, y'all.

They did an expression of interest for Trainee Driver roles March this year and said that they would reach out when the vacancy arose.....well that didn't happen-oh well!

Hi,
Are you supposed to receive an email response after you filled out that additional form?
I have also received the additional form but not opened it yet? Is it a test of some sort or just more personal info needed?

Got a rejection email this morning for this. Apparently due to my history of OPC testing. Which I don’t really understand as I’ve only completed them once before and I passed??

I got the same. My feeling is that it's two possibilities.

1) Although I've passed to the national standard, LO is enhanced so that could be it.

or

2) My psychometrics expire before the training course starts and there isn't time to organise them and do interviews, medical, etc.

Just received an email from both ARL and OPC regarding VSE exercises.
Good luck everyone.

Overground usually required the highest passes of any TOC or used to

Just got an email back today. Failed stage 1. I only had to do the SJT as I passed the other 3 tests last year. Can’t seem to pass the SJT as I have done it multiple times. Good luck to everyone else.

My best advice for this test is always gear your answers towards safety as it always comes 1st. In most cases there will be two situations that stand out in that direction. However there will be one situation that stands out further and that is the situation they are looking for you to progress with. In order to do this though you have to be safety conscious to spot where there are safety elements in the situations and that’s also understanding the role and what the company is looking for.

Last round of DMIs (although for NXG) was 23, so that may give you an idea?

Thank you ☺️ I should have been more specific in my answer so that’s my bad! What I was asking was if anyone who has applied for the Willesden Junction role that came out in September 2024 has got through to the DMI interviews that are currently taking place this month. Just was trying to see how many people may have got through right to the end lol
