They are on 12 hour rosters and I believe they have 5 workstations.

Thank you!

We’ve just had our results and we have all passed. So relieved and pleased :)

I went to an assessment day - I think there were about 12 of us in total (20 should have turned up). They split us into 2 groups and got us to do a group exercise. We answered an exam type question from the rule book and sat another couple of number related papers. We all got to do our...

Thank you

Thanks. Like I said if you have any other questions I’ll try my best to help you out. I was super nervous before I got here. Still am to be honest! Next week is the last written exam, week 12 the final observation, so fingers are crossed I can make it through those.

Our group started with 10, and we are now week 10 and have 8 left. The first chap struggled and decided to call it a day at the end of week 4. The second failed the week 6 exam and his score was too low for a talk up. One of our group failed signalling school at week 6 before and got put back...

I ended up at an assessment day and had my interview the same day. I guess it is different everywhere.

Thank you! I applied for Ely grades 2,3 and 4.

Hey all, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has given advice and information here. It was really very helpful. I was offered a grade 3 job yesterday although there are 4 possible boxes for me to go to at the moment. Super excited to start and leave the world of retail!
