Fair. Admittedly, I’d already completed all my assessments earlier this year with a different TOC, so I imagine the process looks a bit different.I applied for Southend vic and got an email asking me to book a psychometric assessment on Monday 25th
Also not heard anything since SJT, applied for Southend Vic.Anyone done the SJT and waiting to hear about Southend Vic? Either depot or mainline?
It’s my first time applying for a trainee driver role, sounds like it can be a very long process from what I’ve read on here.

I received an email on 19th November stating that I had passed Stage 1 and they will be in touch with dates for Stage 2. Not heard anything as yet.

Guys can anyone clarify is greater anglia pass rate for OPC national or enhanced?

Guys is greater anglia national pass rate?
I passed stage one opc with emr and today I got email from wmt stating I failed the tea occ test
When I didn’t - is this down to wmt being enhanced?
Emr confirmed I passed so is this down to the pass rate?
Thanks any advice would be great

So I guess I will now fail great Anglia as well? On that basisGA is enhanced with DFFT as an extra test.
Unlike national, enhanced has no definition so could be higher or lower than WMT for the tea-occ.

Done my SJT on 13/11 and still haven’t heard anything back. Is this good or bad news?
Anyone else still patiently waiting? I applied for Colchester - Trainee Mainline Driver. Done my SJT on either 12th or 13th November but haven’t heard anything since.
I did notice the Colchester role above did close early so I’m hoping it’s just sheer volume of applicants and they’re slowly working their way through them.
Either way, nail biting and constant email and online portal checking resumes for another day. Not forgetting to check the junk mailbox either just in case something slips through the net…!!

Had my stage 1 assessments today, applied for Southend Vic mainline. Thought everything went fairly well, only one bit tripped me up (got stuck on one of the questions for a memory test) so I’m crossing my fingers for a good result.

crazy they must be looking at certain areas first most of us are still waiting on result from SJT hahaHad my stage 1 assessments today, applied for Southend Vic mainline.

Yeah did wonder if everyone there was for the same depot, and mainline or depot at that. Don’t think anyone asked! Hopefully there’s a few spots they’re looking to fill then otherwise I’m not so sure on my chances hahacrazy they must be looking at certain areas first most of us are still waiting on result from SJT haha

How did that work if you hadn’t applied for the different role?Timescales can be long. I waited 3 months after applying before I had an interview and got offered a different job than the one I had applied for. Hang in there
The vacancies were filled at the depot I originally applied to and someone happened to drop out last minute at a depot closer to me.How did that work if you hadn’t applied for the different role?

Oh I get you that’s good stuff mateThe vacancies were filled at the depot I originally applied to and someone happened to drop out last minute at a depot closer to me.
I must've been at the same testing as you yesterday, did wonder if anyone from here was there as when I spoke to people nobody seemed that prepared past the practice material sent. I did ask a few on the break and everyone there was for Southend vic mainline or shunter.Yeah did wonder if everyone there was for the same depot, and mainline or depot at that.

Has anyone who applied for the ilford depot heard anything back yet since doing the online assessments?
How did you find it all? I’m glad I found an online Group Bourdon test to practice and a few similar tone audios so I knew roughly what to look out for. Hope everything went alright for you!I must've been at the same testing as you yesterday, did wonder if anyone from here was there as when I spoke to people nobody seemed that prepared past the practice material sent.

I think it went quite well thanks, hopefully we both pass! I practiced the group bourdon and think it definitely helped, same with the TEA-OC I saw someone say to use your hand to count for part 3 and made it so much easier.How did you find it all?

Nothing yet, I did mine on the 8/11.Has anyone who applied for the ilford depot heard anything back yet since doing the online assessments?

Can I ask when you completed your SJT please mimoma? I’ve also applied for Southend vic but not heard anything sadly
Hi, I completed it on the 13th after they emailed me on the 11thCan I ask when you completed your SJT please mimoma? I’ve also applied for Southend vic but not heard anything sadly
Thank you! I wonder if it’s first come first served kind of thing or just random pick…Hi, I completed it on the 13th after they emailed me on the 11th
Good luck with the process!
I read through a past thread for greater anglia recruitment and thought there were a few things of interest. Firstly that they seem to prioritise a depot for whatever reason (maybe being understaffed in the short/medium term) and in this case in seems Southend vic. Secondly that they'll recruit in stages so with 2 dates available for assessment 1 with 12 spaces each (2 didn't show for the one I attended though) those who pass will go onto the second assessment then DMI then be offered the job if successful. If all the jobs aren't filled then they'll start again so if you've completed the sjt and haven't had an email saying you've failed you're either for a less priority depot or not involved in this first round.
