Elizabeth Line - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

[Barksdale]

You ended up receiving your results mate or any update on your application moving forward? I finally got a feedback call from the OPC regarding my assessment day results with GTS and it turns out I passed everything to enhanced apart from TRP1 which I passed to standard national level. So just hoping I have a shot at the current ARL campaign and can complete any remaining tests with them.

Yeah heard back yesterday, didn’t get thru the online tests… we move!

 

[Hamna]

how long it’ll take to get results of these online 4 tests from OPC ??

 

[TrainD12]

Yeah heard back yesterday, didn’t get thru the online tests… we move!

Ah damn maybe they realised you were still due a few more months of waiting.

I’ve been invited to Watford for stage one interview on November 5th. Any tips from anyone that’s recently completed this interview stage? And also is stage 1 the final stage for this job application?

Have you done assessments already? Is this for MMI interview or DMI interview?

Hi I’ve just received my invitation to this - the pack says MMI.
But the email doesn’t say that the interview will take place on this date - I assume that’s because you need to pass the other bits before they may progress you to the MMI?
As Muro49 says, if anyone has any advice, that would be very appreciated.
Cheers

If it’s your first time going to OPC in Watford, then it’s the first round of in person OPC tests which are all paper based.

There you’ll do about 5 tests back to back, and results will come in an email within 14 days.

If successful, then you’ll be invited to a second round of OPC tests which are all computer based at Watford.

How long it’ll take for you to get results for 4 online tests for OPC which happens at home??

Hey guys. I can’t find a forum for GTS Elizabeth Line CSA so thought I’d post here. Just got an email to say I need to complete an online assessment.. Can anyone tell me what kind of assessment this is as I would like to prepare for it. Thanks!

 

[alexrory]

Was anyone else asked to complete a timed M7SJT assessment without VSE?

 

[moc61]

Yeah done this last week, just waiting to hear back now

 

[Driver1975]

Hi all - I have got my Stage 1 assessment coming up soon. How many stages are there in the overall selection process? I presume there will be a Stage 2?

And the MMI interview, what type of scenario questions could be asked, does anyone know?

To add I have done 2 rounds of online assessments already which I have got through to this Stage 1 assessment.

 

[VictorSaka]

Hey guys I got rejected after my stage 1 assessment in Watford for the ARR but then received an invite to do the online assessments for the GTS Elizabeth line in the same day. Does anyone know if they have done this by mistake as I failed the ARR stage 1 already

 

[Pintman]

Don't they say you should only apply to one company at a time to avoid precisely this situation?

Its two different company's. As you failed you need to wait 1 year before taking the assessments again. If you was to agree to attend once they check on the system and see that you havent long failed one you'd just get sent home.

 

[Hamna]

Hey is there anyone who did OPC 4 online tests and got results?? I did it last week but I didn’t heard anything yet. In email they said they send results after one week of deadline but I didn’t got anything yet

 

[VictorSaka]

No way . Even though Arriva and GTS are separate companies. That’s unfortunate man. You think I should email them to confirm because I have until the 8th to take the online assessments.

I wasn’t aware of that. I applied for both because well why not really.

Yeah the OPC test especially the in-person ones count towards the whole 2 or 3 attemps (depending when you 1st took them is wether you get 2 or 3) this should have been explained before any of the tests begun, I know it was when I done mine at least. Positive side is that any of the tests you did pass will be valid for 5 years I believe is what I got told and so if you try again you most likely wont have to re sit the test that you have a pass mark on.
You can ask them to double check it, your know for sure then and worth asking for the feedback call as it should help you understand where it went wrong which will help for next time.

How were you able to log back in? Mine gives an error when I try to log in with the access code that was provided for the test.

Hi all, does anyone know the training salary and training period?
I think earlier in the thread it said £37K and 18 months - is that about right?
