I am currently in a talent pool for TM for EMR
As there is no news yet, I have applied at SW for Commercial Guard. I just wandered if the SCAAT TFRS etc that I passed at EMR would be valid at SW for this role? Or would I need to sit them again? And if I do have to resist and failed - would that mess me up at EMR?
Thanks

It will depend if they upload your results to the central database at OPC, some TOCS do, others don’t. Best advice is to ask SWR if they will take your results.

Thank you. I’ve passed online assessments so just waiting to see if shortlisted further. If I am,I’ll ask direct.

I know from personal experience that EMR accept passes from other TOCs, or at least they used to when they were EMT so hopefully that means theirs are accepted by other TOCs as well. I made it into their talent pool with only an interview when they accepted my assessment pass from London Midland. I subsequently was offered a job at Arriva Trains Wales using that same pass. Virgin trains however made me do everything again.

If you get an invite to the next step, let them know and you'll get the direct answer. Worst case scenario: you have to do the tests again, but at least you know you're quite capable of doing so!

Yes, I would be very happy relocating as I have lots of friends and family in and around Dorchester. Also in Nottingham so would be happy with either.

That sounds quite promising.Fingers crosses for an invite to next stage and I’ll ask then.
Thanks

Update.
i've been invited to assessment for GWR because and I quote

GWR have come back to me confirming that you will need to take the assessment with them as they do not have any information on their database.

This is fine but now I'm worried in case I fail! What would happen with my pass from EMR - would that be overwritten?
I don't want to risk the potential job I have currently being in the pool for EMR but as there seems to be zero movement in the pool, I would like to try elsewhere too.

Any advice would be great - thanks!
