How much notice did you get for starting your course?

Northern

When I did an nvq level 2 in engineering I had to do the maths english and ICT as part of the nvq, think they were called key skills but known as functional skills now. I'm not sure if this is the case with all nvq level 2. I also know it is the driving academy who are running the nvq level 3...

If Citroën hired you as a test driver and you have a years training to do then 5 weeks later ferrari start hiring for test drivers what would you do?

I believe The minimum c grades are in regards to the apprenticeship level 3 enrolment, the drivers academy will not put you on it without these grades

I don't think you should retract your application just because you have previously worked hard to get into the current position you are in, just my opinion though

Tell me about it, think my eyes have only just stopped watering from that bourdon test

Think I'm in the same boat as you then

Am I right in saying an enhanced pass with one toc is not necessarily an enhanced pass with another? Or basically do different toc's set their own level of enhanced standard?

How did people get on on the stage 2?

Is there any information on who will take EMR's space at Neville hill? Surely would make sense for Northern to take on the whole depot?

No not heard anything about the stage 2 pal, the email I got said the next stage is an interview if shortlisted and I'll be contacted in due course

Probably worth enquiring about that, I got invited to stage one and emailed them to say I had already passed the stages to enhanced, they then confirmed this in an email and updated the career portal

If I'm not mistaken bombardier currently have the maintainance facilties at Etches Park that will change over to hitachi facilities surely?

I wonder if hitachi would be interested in taking on neville hill, but haven't they got the new facilities in Doncaster for the azuma?

I hear that EMR are leaving Neville Hill depot next year; any ideas who could be taking over from EMR there?

They were OK, don't worry if you think you haven't done well on one of the tests they are designed to put you under pressure just concentrate on each test individually, and don't worry about what other people are doing. (you know it's going ok on the group bourdon when your eyes start watering )

I passed to an enhanced standard with a different toc, I got over half to 3 quarter down the page before the changes. The key is accuracy as you get marked down for incorrect boxes crossed

Service drivers shunt, depot drivers dont
