Ah, because I had already paid I didn't ask the receptionist. If anything I need a refund then lol.

100 pounds for staying 15 mins too long is steep, especially when others got it for free. I wonder if EMR could help me? The hotel just gave me a load of rubbish about people using their car park to go into town. I said I was in their building for 6 hours! horrendous Cs from their manager

I attended the assessment day in July and got the same £100 ticket and I was only 5 minutes over the 6 hours, I appealed to the parking company but got nowhere ended up just paying the £60 discounted fee. Would have been worse if I hadn’t passed the assessment

Thanks Dave, it's so frustrating isn't it. Have you made it though to the talent pool?

If I can make it through to the pool at least the fine will be worth it!

Yes I’m in the talent pool, I applied for the earlier depot driver role and took the OPC stage 2 about 3 weeks ago and had the DMI for this role the same week, just waiting for a medical now. Pay the £60 chalk it up to experience and make sure you pass the interview

Sorry to hear that Dan. It’s not easy and is a lot more lively than you think isn’t it! Best of luck in 6 months

Thank you, hopefully another trainee role will be available in 6 months or so, so I can carry on from where I left.
It is definitely more lively, I wasn't concerned about it because so many people said it was 'easy' it really wasn't

I found it tricky and was touching the sides a few times. I passed it and when I was told I was amazed! The ball seemed to have a life of its own when I did the two practices, so had to change my approach for the real deal. I think there are programmes you can buy/download that can help you for the next one apparently... not sure how good they are though. At least you now know what to expect and I am sure you will conquer it on your second attempt. Best of luck!

Good luck to those doing the DMI over the next couple of weeks. I had mine today, I know a few others did also.

I did my DMI at the end of July and got the result just under two weeks later. I’d already done my stage 2 testing on a previous application so went straight into the talent pool. At the interview they told me there would be a course starting October 28th and another one at the end of January
