He got the email On 23rd Nov for stage 1

Friend of mine is invited to stage 1 assessment on 5th Dec after the online application + sneaky SJT. I think I applied on the 15th Nov or something

Don’t think they’ll advertise for trainee role for a while yet as the last recruitment drive was only few months back. MTR adopts above national level pass mark for the OPC, so really it’s up to the individual applicants how well prep they are, The more they put in the batter chances they stand...

Yes, good company

Registering with Indeed for “trainee train driver” is quite helpful as well, I found

Intensive as in the nature of ARL train service, busy metro service, lots of stops for every shifts like LU

Thanks that’s reasonable length of time. Yes new traction will add time onto the schedule....despite the intensive work patterns, still can’t argue with the overall package on offer. What about the company’s corporate culture? Friendly or “hateful” towards drivers?

I haven’t been driving for long, but from what I gathered from long standing drivers they all seemed to think MTR is very driver friendly, and the driver managers are fairly decent bunch, quite approachable. Apart from a few lil quirks, I have nothing bad to say about the company. Oh, Sunday +...

As the title said, saw the job adverts on their own jobs webpage for Staines, Waterloo & Wimbledon. Might be a good chance of nailling down a trainee train driver's position. I can only assume they are looking for multiple candidates, so the success ratios gotta be better right? Closing is 13th...

According to my understanding, there will be a long periods of Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm classroom training, then 2 separate periods of practical training (driving the train) to get combined total of 170 hours of driving under your belt. The practical driving hours will be according to your...

SheikG my DMI was approx 10 days after the day 2 assessment. Many on forum here had similar experience i think

Well done Drazky, i think as you vacated your Jan 17 slot they called me to see if i was interested in joining the Jan group rather than my original Feb 17 intake. I however declined the offer as i have planned to go on a trip in Jan 17 before the long training process took place. I would have...

The actual test dots have no visible boxes dividing them, but they are sitting further apart so makes it easier for you to read them.
