Quick question. How long on average does it take to complete your training with Freightliner including signing off on your route and complete if 250 hours? Many thanks in advance!

I applied for a different depot but my application was moved to Trafford. I was put in the talent pool about 8 months ago. 1637522787 I ‘be been put in the talent pool for Crewe. I’ve already been in the talent pool for Trafford for 8 months so I won’t be holding my breath!

I’m in the talent pool for Trafford but have applied for Crewe. Does anyone know how much of the above I’ll have to redo given that I’ve already succeeded at every stage with FL before (apart from gaining employment) within the last 18 months? just a bit worried that others seem to be...

I’ve applied too. Many thanks for sharing. Good luck everyone!

I’ve previously passed all the assessments at an enhanced level. Am I correct in thinking that DB Cargo would want me to resit all the assessments given that didn’t pass them within the last 6 months?

Just spotted that Colas Rail are advertising various apprenticeship opportunities. Hope this is of interest: https://colasrail.co.uk/apprenticeships/

Yeah, hopefully you’re right. Good luck anyway!

Apologies for the dumb question but what’s a driver operator?

I’m in the same situation. I’ve already passed all the assessments via a different application but I’ve not heard a thing! :-(

Just a hunch but there was supposed to be 2 intakes (May and June). So may be they will send out two batches of invites to do the RAAT test. The second batch might be a month after the first?!

Yeah, I’ve passed the OPC tests to enhanced level but not had the email. I asked the question in the hope it might illustrate a pattern but it doesn’t appear to be the case. 1617251214 I’ve not taken the RAAT test but it sounds like a situational judgement test. If that’s the case then it’s...

A couple of questions for the folks who’ve had the email. What depots are you going for and have you already passed the OPC assessments?

I’ve not had the email. Really hope that doesn’t mean I’ve missed out. I’ve already passed all the OPC assessments at an enhanced level :-(

Time will tell but I doubt the lack of a covering letter will make much of a difference. Good luck!

I think there’s a lot of driver related threads because it’s a well paid job that doesn’t require qualifications (ish), plus it’s good for a career change at virtually any age. Engineering roles and public facing roles aren’t suitable for a good percentage of driver candidates so what other jobs...

Definitely agree with this. My BP was high at a recent medical and the nurse put it down to white coat syndrome given my fitness, good bmi and history. I didn’t even get referred to my gp. More importantly, you need to get your bp checked out to ensure you’re not at risk for personal reasons...

Thanks mate

What were the exact May and June start dates? Really wish I’d copied and pasted the original ad!

Thanks guys. Good advice!

Hi guys, I seem to remember somebody sharing a link for a revision aid for the rules and regs trainees learn in the first 4 months. 2 questions. Does anyone have the link as I can’t find it and is it reliable/current? Thanks in advance! :-)
