One was Leeds or Donny, the other was Edinburgh.

Same here. Heard nothing since I sent back the atoc forms. I've heard of 2 being offered the job pending medicals.

How do you know that!?

Positive, but not definitive.

I have been contacted and I know of one other, both on the 29th Nov assessment, both qualified.

Yeh I thought that too. Never mind, I picked the top (first) assessment anyway

Doncaster and Leeds are on the list of depots. It's the assessment days that are York/kings X (and a couple of other locations for non qualified it seems)

It's a possibility. All correspondence I've had has said the same thing "we love your CV and letter" I feel my cover letter was very strong and word count for the two paragraphs was 97 and 100.

I think the assessments for the qualifieds and non qualifieds are different as I had just 2 dates to choose from. One date was York and the other kings X. It also said in my email that if successful at the assessment stage a medical would be booked at a later date.

I have also had an invite (I'm qualified and didn't do the online test) so I have responded and asked for the York assessment day. Hope to meet some of you there �� EDIT - I found mine in my junk folder after reading others had received an invite...so check there too!

This is true, they told me not to complete the 2 assessments emails they had sent me about 2 days after I'd completed them.

I think there seems to be a common misconception here that if you're not a spotter, or don't have an interest in trains then you're no good for the job and are in it for the money. Well, from my experience TOCS and FOCS don't want spotters/cranks because the majority have a know it all...

Yeh it was a name, not the azuma email...I thought it was spam at first lol. Time will tell, it would be nice for qualifieds to at least get an interview

Yup! I felt I did well on the test too

I'd rather not say, but I'm employed by a FOC. I applied for Leeds or Doncaster

Just had an email saying I shouldn't have been sent the online tests as I'm already qualified. She said if I've done them not to worry and if I haven't then don't bother. They will be in touch shortly.

It's been mentioned in earlier posts. It's a checking test and there's plenty of practice material. Accuracy is the key. It's better to not answer than to guess and be incorrect.

Yes, and if you google SHL you'll find your way to an assessment website that virgin have chosen to use. You can practice various tests there to get an idea of what to expect.

I had an email on Friday asking me to complete an online assessment. I'm a qualified driver so hopefully it's nothing I haven't already completed in the past. It does say on the email that they've used a software program to sort through applications, which is why you need the word count on your...

The rest of your course will be at ferrybridge. If you live within travelling distance they aren't likely to book a hotel for you.
