Hello All,
Am after some advice on assessment for trainee train drivers (FTPE) please. I have been invited to attend the stage 1 assessment day in Manchester next week and the e-mail suggests I will 'undertake an aptitude test which measures your fault-finding ability'.
Would really appreciate some advice and a heads up as to what I might expect and any suggestions with regards to practice beforehand. There is no practice material provided for these tests apparently.
Thanks in advance....

If I remember correctly this one is designed to just test your fault finding ability there and then, which is why they don't provide any practice material I think. The one I sat was a little complicated to explain. It isn't hard however, the dials one is no trouble but not sure what test FTPE use! You shouldn't have any problems!

Good luck with the assessments!

There is also a whole FTPE thread here: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=77651 - have you looked through that? Grab a tea and trawl, lots already been through it there and some already starting their training!
