Checking my emails and spam like a nut case. While all these emails of Russian brides and mysterious amounts of money I’m told I’m owed from all Over the world are great, I’d much prefer one with a job offer instead! lol.

Has anyone else had an offer come through?

Hi
Hope everyone is well.

I passed me stage 1 opc and have my stage 2 next week at Watford. Can I please double check what assessments I should be taking part in? And also any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody else hear anything from Birmingham? I guess now the earliest on the course will be feb if I have to guess

Nothing for me either I'm afraid. I can't recall, from my DMI, the actual course schedule. I think one in June was supposed to be exclusively for Birmingham drivers, with another course running immediately after for multiple depots. I could well be wrong.

I'm also insure as to how many trainees/ apprentices are in the classroom at any one time (may vary by TOC). Irrelevent I know, but intruiged.

The June course has 8 applicants on, 5 are Birmingham applicants.

I was told the next available course would be January 2025.

I’ve just received a call from recruitment saying I passed my MMI, so that’s all done for me. That was quite quick considering I did it on Friday! Now we’ll see what happens.
