Just got an email about my VSE & SJT results and I’ve been successful and been invited for the assessment centre on the 14th September! I have no idea how because I was fairly certain I failed on stage 3 of the SJT, I know for a fact I missed a lot of the faults.
I guess I’ll have to buy a suit then? I’ve never needed one before, 23 and never worn one haha.

Well done mate, I am through to, 12th Sept. But sadly I am at work that day and there is no cover, I have told them and sadly they have told me in a word that its 'tough'.
Dam!

I know what I'd do
I can't go sick, I work on the railway and it's just too risky.

Haha stay away from that pink chicken!
Hahahaha, it's pretty poor in my opinion that they won't budge with dates. It is encouraging people to go sick. Personally I need my job too much to risk it! Annoyingly I have done the assessments (stage 1, 2 and MMI) 3 years ago to an 'enhanced' score. From what I am gathering each company has different 'enhanced' scores.

I got my emails from OPC today regarding SJT & VSE- 3 of them!!
First one said I was unsuccessful, then another to say they apologised for sending that one by mistake, and then a third to say I had been successful and been invited to take the tests on the 12th September!!
Feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment as I know people have been applying for years and not get this far and this is only my 2nd application.

I'd probably consider a day off due to something, if I'd pleaded to swap my shift with my workmates and begged my company to adjust the shifts to help and it was still impossible.

I'm still waiting, sat mine on the 24th(Friday). Strangely I'm starting to feel like I'm not in a hurry to find out, now people have started to get them.

If you already work on the railway your company must release you for a job interview, they can't hold you back from progression even for a different company, speak to your union rep

Cheers mate
Damn that’s no good! I work nights so it means I’ve got to have 2 days off, I can’t work the night before because I won’t be up and I can’t work on the day because I won’t be home in time to start my shift. So that’s 2 holidays I’ll have to use unless the date fall on a rest day which I haven’t checked yet, should be ok booking them hopefully, it’s a way off yet...
So have you withdrew your application then?

So I take it the VSE & SJT has a low score requirement then and isn’t “enhanced”? I know for a fact I made a lot of mistakes... unless it’s the reverse of KeviWill’s emails and they’ve sent me a successful email accidentally haha
To clarify
For all. The difference between Standard and Enhanced it not your scores
It’s a matter of doing the DFFT test. That’s what makes it enhanced. Most TOCS don’t include the DFFT test
Also I’ve known someone to only have completed 8/20 questions in the DFFT and pass. It’s purely accuracy. Obviously you need speed, you can’t just do 2 or 3! And if you do 8 I imagine they’d all need to be right!
It’s not a race. Take your time and make sure they are all correct. Spend a few seconds checking each answer rather than finishing 1/2 more questions and getting them wrong by rushing.

Do you know for sure that Enhanced scores aren't higher also for GBT, Tea-Occ and Dials test? I was under the impression that Freightliner can choose there own criteria and what classes as a pass?
