I'll be honest, it's not been a great start in terms of the uniform. Some people on the course have received parts of their uniform but not everything. I personally have only received my shoes. Bit and pieces have just been turning up each day for different people. They expect you to wear smart...
It's initially 9-4 while you're in the classroom but obviously when you visit your depot with your minder and for core routes it can be any working shift time. However that comes later in the training.
Happy to be of assistance haha
Thanks LancsLass. First day went well. There's a good group of 12 of us with 2 really enthusiastic trainers. Obviously the first day just consisted of ice breakers, an introduction to the company and sorting our staff passes/mobile phones out.
The two hour commute to Leeds is a bit of pain...
Hi,
Just been reading up and there is some great info on here, really appreciate it. Just wondering if anyone could clear this up for me.
I received confirmation that I passed my medical just over a week ago and was offered a place on a training course on the 30th January in Leeds but still...
Finally received a start date (30th Jan) for the conductor training for the Piccadilly vacancy, subject to medical on the 6th. Anyone else received similar news?
Thanks guys. To be fair I was told I had successfully passed the interview and they would be in touch regarding Janaury start dates shortly so I did assume they may have contacted me by now. I may contact Northern myself if I do not hear anything in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again
Has Anyone who was succesful for this Manchester vacancy heard anything further? I recieved an email saying I had passed the interview and they would be in touch regarding January start dates over 4 weeks ago but that is the last I heard. Just wondering if I should be worried that I haven't even...
Cheers pal, hope you hear some news soon! I'm still waiting on my medical. How much notice did they give you before you had to go for it? I passed my interview 4 weeks ago and they said they would be in touch regarding start dates but that was the last I heard.
Hi, I attended the assessment day last month and about three weeks ago received an email saying I was succesful and they would be in touch regarding start dates.
The first part was the structured interview where the interviewers ask a few questions about you and what you know about the company...
I thought the Piccadilly course was due to start in January? I'm still waiting to hear back from Northern regarding start dates.
This is the email I received following my assessment:
"Thank you for attending an assessment centre for the above role. I am very pleased to say you did really well...
Mine was Piccadilly but the email Ireceived didn't mention a talent pool, just said they would be in touch regarding the January course once they confirmed start dates. I'm assuming that means I will be on that course, I hope haha
Has Northern said directly that you are in a 'talent pool'. All I have been told since I passed the interview was 'Well done, and we will be in touch shortly regarding the January start dates once they are confirmed'
I hope this means I am going to hear positive news from them in the very...
