Well my little adventure is over, had the email today saying I didn’t meet the criteria in the driver assessment, good luck to the ones who get to the next stage.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you get useful feedback and can try again in the future.

Nope, I'm still waiting. I went on the 18th so I guess if you guys still have not heard then I've still got a little while to wait.

Hi Hazwa89,

I also attended on 18th and haven't heard yet. I attended the PM slot.

Best of luck and fingers crossed for everyone. Would be exciting to attend the next selection round.... oh, and get a job offer of course lol.

I still haven’t heard anything. I attended the AM assessment on the 15th.
I was 16th, so today is the 8th working day since I took the assessments so here’s hoping I know by tomorrow or Wednesday and same for everyone else. I don’t like the fear of the unknown lol

Little update for me, I spoke to OPC today and passed all the tests apart from the group bourdon test which I was too slow, I can reapply in 6 months and just only do that test as I passed the others.

I presume no one has heard anything today?
Nope, I’m going to send an email enquiry tomorrow.

There is a group bourdon tool available somewhere in the forum, you should be able to find it if you do a search, you can then practice on a computer or print out pages from it.

Congrats on getting through! What date did you attend the assessment centre? Mine was on the 18th and I've got my fingers crossed!

It’s part of stage 2, computer tests, VSE & MMI, full day in Watford. I got given 3 days to choose from, week after next.
GTR use the VSE? Thought they were using mainly the DFFT as an additional test for most of their TOCs since SE left(Who were VSE and still use VSE)

We did do DFFT at stage 1. Today was the first time I have seen mention of VSE, it was in my email telling me what the next stage involves.

Interesting, I had a friend sit a GTR assessment day fully but never done the VSE, might be a Thameslink thing then.

Sorry to hear this, don’t give up I know how disappointing it is to get so far but just use it as experience ready for the next one!

Thanks Croydon, having spoke to opc and now know the issue your right it’s been good experience, the practice material didn’t have the dot test so caught me out, got 6 months of practice as only have to pass this test as have already passed The others.

good luck I will be watching your journeys closely.

Has anyone here thats made it to stage 2 asked the recruiter if indeed the VSE is now part of GTRs testing? Quite unusual considering the 4 months ago, Welwyn City campaign did not have it on computer testing according to my Colleague.
