    I too might send a cheeky application in as I also failed. I passed the dials test but was apparently 2 questions away on the trainability. HR did say I need to wait for 6 months though, but I can re-apply again sooner if I state I failed in December.

    Wooo hooo!! I've just got my letter through for the assessment day on the 22nd. To say I’m chuffed is an understatement. Time to swat up on the scaat test. One question though, it asks to wear suitable shoes. Does this mean steely shoes or will normal shoes do? Oh and good luck to everyone going.:D

    Yeah, thanks for the info Bubba. I tried to re-apply a few weeks ago, logged in as myself, but it told me I can't because I’ve already been unsuccessful. So I'm going to try again with different login details and see if that works.

    Hi Kart. Good luck at the assessment for the tram driver’s job! You say you are an electrician...

    Hi Kart. Good luck at the assessment for the tram driver’s job! You say you are an electrician? I am also a qualified spark, but never worked as one due to lack of jobs for newly qualified electricians. Are you a timed served spark? And are you currently employed as one? I'm just a bit miffed...
