Sat the first stage of assessments today on crewe. Met some decent lads/ladies and all hoping we did well enough to get through to stage 2.

I did hear though that freightliner are recruiting again July/August from some of the other candidates.

Hey guys

For those who are going to watford, if it is the OPC at wellestones i was there in november for my stage 2 with another FOC. The place is at the south entrance of wellestones (dont get confused with the opc sign at the top end like me and the people i was with did). I stayed in the travelstop inn/ best western as it was the closest and easiest from the test centre. Also make sure you have some solid answers for the MMI. Good luck! :)

I have the same feeling as you mate! Was far from easy and I know I missed some key buzz words. Let's just hope it was enough.

The women just kept repeating herself!

I've only just got home!

Stage 1 lasted probably about 2 hours in total. Stage 2 depends on what time you get given for your MMI. I started at 08:45 today and left the building @ 16:20. I did have a lot of time to kill from 11:45 until 14:45 (which is when my interview was). So went for something to eat with another candidate.

Regarding the types of tests looked at the new assessment thread and it's exactly as it states on there.

Stage 2 there are three computer bases tests. They told us today we had passed those and then went on to do MMI.

Same here. Very probing questions and trying to twist my words a few times!

Let's just hope we did enough. I'm sure people that have passed didn't come out of the room feeling great! Lol
