I start early next month! I’m really looking forward to it and so grateful that I didn’t have to wait too long!

Hi John This thread might help you: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/dmi-competency-based-questions.182309/ Also you can use the search engine to find more examples. Make sure you research the TOC. Good Luck! Let us know how you get on.

I am so grateful for the quick turnaround. It couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Thanks, very exciting times ahead. I intend to do my best throughout my training and beyond. Hopefully, I’ll make it pass the medical too.

Thanks again! I will definitely prepare for competency based questions as well. I will do my best to relax. Even though I’m nervous, I am really looking forward to it and have really enjoyed the whole process- apart from the waiting game. Hopefully, I’ll report back with good news.

Thanks for the info. I do drive so I’m hoping there’s a car park for staff if I’m successful. If not, I intend to take the train. I was given a sample shift rota and it seems doable. I made lot of notes on TPWS and have been researching the company.

It’s for Victoria.
