There might be some movement from the Recruitment team in the coming months for both the most recent campaign and the previous campaign (which was the one I applied for).
I just got a call for a 18 Jan 2027 course start date. Anyone else?
Hi mate, well done on the call!

Was this for Abbey Wood or Old Oak Common?

The base set, plus DFFT (driver fault finding test), in person SJT and in person VSE. So I beleive thats 9 tests in total?

Thanks! Been waiting a while! OOC.
Brilliant, well done. Been in holding pool since Feb for Abbey Wood, just trying to gauge how long I can expect to wait

Hopefully not too long. I'm guessing OOC has more vacant spots, seeing as the latest advert was hiring for OOC only. Maybe contact recruitment to find out?
I was in the pool from around Feb also.
