Cheers

Has anybody who passed assessments heard anything back or had any written confirmation of their success?

No news on course dates. The dial checking is very much like in the practice material with one extra bit. There are 4 dials. You get to do a few eggs before you start so you will know exactly what you need to do. There is nothing in the tests aiming to catch you out. It's all well explained .

Thank you. They didn't say. There was a conductor taking the assessment who works for TFW & he was very sure the Jan intake had been filled already. We were told we would be going into the Talent pool but didn't specify how long that would be. The same conductor said there are a lot of courses...

Ps Island Dave, that is only my opinion though after just completing the tests.

If you understand the practice materials they sent and have practiced them there isn't to much more you can do. I purposely stopped all practicing for 5 days before my assessment as I actually found I was getting worse! I found the dial checking the hardest and one of the candidates failed this...

Passed!! that was a long day & a tough interview at the end, 90minutes!! I was able to change my preferred Depot to Shrewsbury which was good news as I may be able to commute from home.

Good luck

Excellent, keep us posted how the classroom training goes, start mine on 7/01/19. It's interesting to hear the different processes that people have been through. I didn't have online tests or telephone interview. I had application, assessment morning and face to face interview, which was 1 hour...

Yeah I think I could be amongst the last to go. I stated at interview I need to give a months notice and I'm sure others are in a similar position so they will have to notify people soon. Ironically I had forgotten I had applied for a trainee senior conductor Job with WMT ages ago. In the last...

Cheers mate, think I'm going to chill now until night before assessments. I've done quite a bit of work but seem to be going backwards now, so time for a break & spend some time with the family.

I'm in weds 28/11/18. Has anybody failed or will I be the 1st! Lol

Superb, very well done

That's a great reply craigybagel, thank you very much indeed. On a personal note I don't care what shifts I work, I've done shifts for 17 years. The main problem I have is childcare/school run. My wife is a postie, so is out the house by 5am most days. I guess, although not ideal, permanent...

I'm genuinely quite excited to start training & crack on with it. I'd love to hear from Conductors out there what they think of the job, good and bad.
