Why would this be a requirement if it is for a trainee role?

That may be, I am only repeating what I have been told by staff at FCC, I guess time will tell.

Well obviously, but that was not my point was it! my point was next year there is a very high chance that there will not be any vacancies as they have the franchise to worry about. Should they keep the franchise then in the future they will start recruiting again. :roll:

Hi, the franchise expires next year, whether FCC retain it or not I do not know.

Thanks everyone. This forum has been a great source of information and help. Lead time is approx 2/3 months although it may be longer as DB Schenker are cutting down on private assessments now. They send practice materials seven days prior to you going, it gives an idea of the tests you...

Thanks, I am pleased to say that I passed :D now the fun begins.

As far as I know there are only 12 vacancies according to GA. On another note has anyone received a rejection email/ letter yet?
