I think it was around April 2018 I applied. Then passed everything with FL (like many others) and entered into their Talent Pool. Early this year I was then contacted by WMT who invited me to interview then recently offered me a course starting on 29th July. It takes time but keep going mate

Great news, i'm on that course as well. Look forward to meeting everyone. I had my uniform fitting last week as well.

Morning folks, anyone starting on 29th July for Snow Hill? I've had my uniform fitting and Right To Work meeting so all ready.

Cheers guys....Looking forward to getting started!

Very "Q", I was contacted previously about a possible HH role based in Crewe but it never materialised. That said, I will be withdrawing from the FL Pool as I have been offered a Driver Role at WMT starting in July. Just awaiting the paperwork to come through this week. One less person in...

Personally I have used this forum and the internet to gain the information I need to start the process. This place has lots of experience from various TOC's old and new, you would be silly not to search the hell out of the forums to get what you need. That said, I purchased a few of the their...

Be concise in what you say and the examples you use. Explain your thinking and decision making. As above, lots of info on here which has helped me lots over the last 12 months. Good luck

Yes I did however I politely declined as I would rather wait for a driver position as my current role allows me the time to wait. Good luck to those who will start in the yard, will be great experience ready to move on the mainline!

Absolutely!

They wouldn't know specifically that someone was in the FL Pool however they would obtain your OPC results and compare them to their standards. This then allows them to know what tests you may require to resit, if any?

Congrats Mike, best of luck in your new role!

Really is great news that things are now moving and many of you have start dates, especially for those who have been waiting 10yrs to get in to this game!! Well Done. Lets hope the rest of the training courses come around soon which being reasonable would be around July time perhaps??

Nice one guys, glad it is moving forward!

Good to know, Thanks Pete

My thoughts exactly...

1st of all - Good Luck to those who are taking tests soon, plenty of advice on here for you to get you prepared. 2nd - I do wonder how many people FL are taking on in the pool vs amount of jobs available? Lots of us currently swimming in this large pool, so wonder how many they plan on having...

I hear that a few assessment days have been and gone, how have people got on? Any info on what may happen throughout 2019?

Good luck to those taking the tests today!

We have just got to hold tight mate. It is hard but its all we can do for now.... I would be happy even if they said I was not on a course until later on in the year, at least I could plan for the next 6 months at least.

Hi everyone, yes I had the email and waiting for Crewe or Birmingham. I have just had to scale the delights of my loft to get the classic "Record of Achievement" as well! An interesting read from all those years ago! :lol: My grades were not the best back then but I have improved...
