    I applied end of Aug 2025, the process has been quick so far in my opinion, compared to others previously. So far I’ve done DMI and paper tests. Computer tests / MMI taking place next week.

    Assessments & Medicals discussion

    Does anyone know if the MMI is graded like the other psychometric tests? IE national level / enhanced? Or is the MMI a simple pass / fail?

    Avanti - Trainee Train Drivers - Recruitment Discussion

    Avanti use CBI rather than MMI so you would need to do that - the other psychometrics depend on whether you met Avanti enhanced standard. 1759263889 Can you shed any light on the DMI for TfW? What kind of questions do they ask? Thank you :)
