Does anyone know whether any DMIs are taking place for GTR? I passed the assessment day in January but haven’t heard anything further about a DMI. I am not sure if this just means that my application will not be progressed. Any thoughts?

Can’t help you with GTR but I’m in exactly the same position with another TOC. Unfortunately it is the nature of the industry, you will hear something at some point. It doesn’t hurt to email for an update and keep your name known.

If that’s your name then probably not a great idea to have your name and your request for an insider view on the interview in the public domain! Many managers will use this forum.

Hi All, I sat my DMI with GTR which lasted for 2 hours. I am wondering if this is a good or bad sign. Any thoughts or anyone else who has had a DMI recently?

Hi all, I attended my DMI last Friday and heard back today that I have been entered into a talent pool. I’m hoping I will be able to start a course this year but I guess I will have to wait and see…. Good luck everyone

Hi Daly, congrats on being entered into the talent pool. Did you have to wait long for your DMI and what depot was this for if you don’t mind me asking. I’m currently waiting for my DMI.
Thanks mate didn’t have to wait too long for the DMI really because I had passed all the tests beforehand but I believe it’s different for everyone…. I applied for Cricklewood, you? best of luck.

All of my passes are enhanced and thankfully my previous passes included the DFFT1&2. But I know different TOC’s can have different pass levels for what they consider ‘enhanced’.

I actually think the expression enhanced is a little unhelpful as it implies a blanket pass mark.
The reality is you Pass or you Don't (National Standard) but different TOCs may add in additional tests such as the Driver Fault Finding Test or VSE etc. and may also look for a pass at a "higher grade" that in reality is only known to them.
I also imagine those desired higher grades might be flexible from one recruitment drive to another.
Sadly for prospective trainees it's all a bit of a mystery, somewhat deliberately I imagine as patience in itself is a good trait in the whole process.
It was some time ago bow but the proctor my testing implied that GTR uses national standard for the generic tests and adds the DFFT to the mix. That is the only way in which they are "enhanced". The OPC who administered tests for then VWC said they required both a higher pass but also used extra tests (VSE, CBI Vs MMI etc).
That all said I'm sure that actual marks might be taken into account when allocating orders of priority in talent pools later in the process.
In all instances I was lucky to meet what arbitrary pass mark the TOC I was applying to wanted but I am still none the wiser as to how well I did really.
Good luck with the process. Hopefully some or all of your results carry across as it will make for a nice quick day at assessment.

Appreciate the feedback. I understand there is no one ‘enhanced’ standard. But it can be a little confusing going through the process for the first time.
