That one's different from mine. The one I have seems to cycle through the same maybe 50 or so images so it doesn't feel as if I'm getting better. More a case of remembering what the answers were from the last time I did it.
Yes, with the practice ones, it was possible to run out. The 'test mode' there was a lot more and you'd be surprised how many have 4 or even 5 of the items in once you slow it down. Test mode doesn't give the answers, just the score. It massively helped me, for sure.
I'll give it a dowload this weekend and get practising!
It’s 2 weeks that’s baked into the training schedule (around 12 weeks in) then once on traction/handling it’s another week taken when you need it. Hope that helps.
9 per course and there are 4 courses this year as of end of April. That could change as it did last year and an additional course was squeezed in.
How long have you been in the talent bank mate? Is it for Manchester you are waiting on? It seems strange that they are advertising for trainee drivers when they already have people like yourself waiting?
There is no reason they wouldn’t take from there, but is it within the 45 minute commute to the depot?
I have been waiting for an Edinburgh start date since January bud. I believe they need quite a lot drivers at most depots. Hopefully they intend to use us all over the next two years if they are saying they are running courses through 26/7.
Ok thanks. Fingers crossed I make it through the selection process. It’s been a long wait for Avanti these last 2 years
Sorry my mistake, it is for this TOC. With the northern and Avanti who I’m used to seeing it is 45 minutes
I didn’t mate, I didn’t see anywhere to and wasn’t asked to so I didn’t upload it.
Thanks mate, that reassures me
Does anybody know roughly the shift pattern the Manchester drivers work? And is Sunday extra pay or included in the salary?? Many thanks xCrossCountry are recruiting for Manchester, Derby, Newcastle, Leicester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Bristol, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Leeds, Cambridge

Same! Just got the email.
I applied recently.
You’d think so.
Same. Got email earlier about the assessment and spatial test. I’ll complete it in next few days I think.
I received the email today, even as a qualified driver. I’ll complete them later
Out of curiosity, what makes you apply for an apprentice role if you’re already qualified mate? Is it still difficult to change posts once you’re up and running?
Tocs take on qualified drivers even through trainee roles. They obviously don’t have to do an apprenticeship, just traction and route learning
