The next step will be an interview. This will consist of a number of competency based questions and a written test.
I don’t believe you will be provided with any example material for the first stage interview.
I wouldn’t focus too much on the Doncaster tests and mmi interview at this point as...
I wouldn’t worry if you don’t hear anything by the notice date on the original application.
I believe they are holding back informing people of the results of the application however I don’t know how long for.
Definitely not. They receive thousands of applications every time they advertise for jobs and just like all other TOC’s they have the ability to pick and choose. A lot of people want to work for them as it’s a good wage for the area.
It will take approximately 4 weeks from the closing date until you are invited for an interview depending on the number of applicants. The interview will likely consist of an assessment and a competency based interview. If successful you will at some point be asked to attend the assessment day...
For what its worth mine has now changed to application in progress rather than received.
Not sure if that’s an automated thing but it’s just happened since Saturday when I last checked.
Not a thing. My application on the DB site just says pending. Mind I only applied for the application that closed in October.
Not expecting anything soon

I’m from Newcastle so I’m not really sure about depots down that way but there’s a list in this page. Could be worth while looking at what’s close and signing up for job alerts for the toc’s near you.
