I plan on taking my driving test within the next few months. I guess the rules about getting to the depot only apply once you've passed the trainee stage which takes over a year, I believe. So I should have enough time to get my licence.
I did the second set over the last weekend. Would hope to hear something by early next week. I have already passed the psychometric assessments so would hopefully go straight to interview.I done the second set of OPC stuff,
Has anyone heard back I know they are planning for their first stage assessment centres next week
I did the second set over the last weekend. Would hope to hear something by early next week. I have already passed the psychometric assessments so would hopefully go straight to interview.
When did you do the testHeard back this afternoon.
Passed M7SJT but failed VSE, no more info on why.
Makes it clear, 6 month wait to have another go.
Plan B for me?
Good luck to others ...
I have been informed it is to be held at Tilbury Depot this time.Any know where their classroom training part would be based?
Thanks for this. Hopefully I'll make it this time. Got to interview stage a couple of years ago but eventually got put in the talent pool as they said all positions were taken before they round to interviewing me.I have been informed it is to be held at Tilbury Depot this time.
Also, in terms of depot location for the trainee, I have been told that their contract location with say Tilbury/ London Gateway. Once the Gateway depot is open they can eventually be moved without Freightliner having to paying any depot transfer Costs.
At the moment, those of us that are Tilbury Depot based, will not be moved as it will cost them too much. It makes no difference to most of us Tilbury drivers either way. However time will tell.
I only completed mine late on Tuesday but still waiting to hear - when I did it 2 years ago it took 2 weeks total hear back though.Hey guys anyone heard back regarding the Watford assessment centre etc
I’m still waiting on results from OPC and I done my test on Sunday 4th
When was the actual deadline for the assesssments you had.I done the last test on 2nd and received email on the 6th saying I'd past and given a date for the stage 1 assessment.
What I done with the vse is kept the mouse in between the yes and no as you've only got to move it slightly and click which can do easily without looking so gives more time looking for errors, I done the same for part 3 as the error button is big enough to move over to it with minimal time looking where your moving the mouse, I still made few mistakes though.
When was the actual deadline for the assesssments you had.
I think hearing back may be based on when your deadline was as mine was the 9th
I'm still waiting, did the second set on the 3rd. Hoping no news is good news.Anyone else still waiting to hear back after completing the second set of tests? I completed the last one on 6th May (deadline day) but not heard anything. Seems like most people have heard within 4 days or so.
Do you still need to pass the psychometric assessments? I have passed them already.Thanks for replying - I’ll keep hoping then
I’m not sure which ones they are - I did the initial 4 tests, then the VSE and M7SJT ON 6th. I passed them last time but failed the group Bourdain at Watford.Do you still need to pass the psychometric assessments? I have passed them already.
Don't understand this as the vacancy was only supposed to be live until 28th April!!I only just got my links for the 2nd test. I was a later applicant so it figures.
03rd May - applied
06th May - first set of tests received
08th May - first set of tests complete
13th May - second set of tests received
Take all railway/freightliner timings with a pinch of salt! The link for the vacancy still works now.Don't understand this as the vacancy was only supposed to be live until 28th April!!
Part 3 was definitely challenging, and from what I have read its supposed to be. One of the things they want to see is how you recover and perform after putting a step wrong.I did the second test. The vse was really hard. Iam not sûre i'll pass it. Thé 2 first test was ok but thé one with simultaneous task was other thé top. Iam thé only one to feel it was hard ?
Oh you did well. I did more mistake than this. I guess its over now. Thanks for thé informationPart 3 was definitely challenging, and from what I have read its supposed to be. One of the things they want to see is how you recover and perform after putting a step wrong.
The mistakes I made were sporadic and isolated. If I remember right in stage 3 I made about 5-8 mistakes, no more.
Oh dear I take it you heard back with some bad news? I've not had any word yet, not counting my chickens.Oh you did well. I did more mistake than this. I guess its over now. Thanks for thé information

Yes i failed. The second test was hard. Good Luck for the next stage
I’m going to assume it’s bad news for me as I completed my test before you and haven’t had any feedbackOh dear I take it you heard back with some bad news? I've not had any word yet, not counting my chickens.
I think that means you can attempt the tests again in 6 months? Plenty of time to review and practice. Don't throw in the towel just yet!
