Judging by the amount of fails here, a 100% requirement looks likely...

Still showing live on the site for me? https://lnerjobs.co.uk/jobs/vacancy/trainee-driver-0401/419/description/

Of course, some scenarios are better than others. However as an example, this one asked you what you would do and who you would contact if there was a hole in a fence next to a high-speed line or what would you do if your onboard emergency systems activated, how do you fix this and who do you...

There does appear to be a high fail rate with this SJT, I've never seen so many people fail one. I've also never had issues with SJT's in the past and this is the first one I've failed myself. This is the problem when they don't give you any feedback, maybe we're not failing the SJT but...

I'm also surprised, I don't expect anyone will be getting an assessment date until the end of this year at best. I have no idea why they chose now as the best time to release applications, you'd think they would have held them off until later in the year when things are a little more certain...

Just applied, instant rejection email after failing the SJT... I never understand these things sometimes, each answer was answered with safety as the number one priority. Never know how to improve if they don't tell us where we've gone wrong, unless they are actually expecting us to drive if we...

Yeah that confirms my fears, they certainly will not be accepting new trainees now and if the talent pool is 2 years then I can't see them opening another application process for another year or so. I expect none of us will hear back from these applications. On the bright side however, at least...

Same... I wouldn't hold our breathe to be honest, given the current COVID-19 crisis. I highly doubt they will now be taking on new trainees. Also, I'm surprised we haven't had to do any kind of online assessment yet?

I don't see that happening, people who used rail prior COVID-19 will use it just the same post COVID-19, a reduction in passengers is likely to only be temporary and last just a couple of months. In the longterm, the demand will remain the same as it's always been. Also, don't forget summer is...

I'm surprised at the amount of aviation knowledge on this forum and people who have been at some point in their lives in the same boat as I am now. Makes me feel right at home to be surrounded by such like-minded people. As mentioned earlier on in this thread, I do like to think that once I get...

Already a gliding club member and fly as much as I can. I'll start getting more and more involved and see if I can get involved with trial lessons and dealing with winch launching etc. The job thing is a difficult thing for me though, I'm currently in a very good position at one of the biggest...

Any tips? What did you do prior to driving etc. How did you convince them to give you the job and what kind of preparation did you do?

You've pretty much described my situation to a T. I already do plenty of gliding and am half way through my PPL. I unfortunately had to pass up my position at EZY purely because of financial reasons. My plan has since been to complete flight training modularly, as you seem fairly clued up with...

You may be onto something there, maybe the lack of young drivers is actually because of the lack of applicants in the first place. Interesting thought.

I've tried to PM you but am unable to, I believe because I haven't reached the required post count yet. I'd love to know a bit more about your background prior to driving if you'd be happy to share? If not, i'll PM you when I can!

Money, as always with the aviation industry :'( I didn't have the £120,000 required for training, thus unable to accept the position.

I'm very resilient, so I will just keep applying until I make the grade, it's just a bit disheartening sometimes when it feels like your age is ultimately the deciding factor.

I've seen plenty of posts on here regarding older applicants mainly being the ones landing Trainee Driver jobs. I have very rarely seen posts the other way around, so I thought I would start a discussion for some of the younger applicants here (which from my experience there doesn't appear to be...
