    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Myself and 7 others had our Reaction Test and Criteria Interview yesterday in Cambridge for FCC. The reaction test was nothing to worry about really, you get two practise tests with instant feedback, then you move onto the two real tests, the first goes at the pace that the computer programme...

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Just spoke to a very helpful HR member of staff at FGW and I told her I'd sat the first assessment in Reading on the 4th of October but not heard anything since. She said that I had a pass and good passes on the tests which was nice to hear. She said due to the volume of application she is...

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    I can appreciate that the HR staff at the first group do have a big job to do and with 3000+ applicants for each trainee role it would be hard to stop some candidates from falling through the cracks. However anyone who has every appiled to First Group has an online account and all they have to...

    Good morning, I was hoping to get an update from anyone who attended the first assessment day on the 4th of October.

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Sorry to hear this Lewisstoner. I'm still waiting to hear the result of my stage one which I took in Reading on the 4th of October. They said we would hear within 7 to 10 days but here I am with no news yet. I think no news is good news but I'm not holding my breath for a successful result. Out...
