Apart form the drug screen, you should know about the rest on the day. A drug screen usually takes a few days.

As a matter of interest, which depot are you going to be based at?

You should also get the drug screen same day

Thought it had to be sent off under chain of care? Has it changed?

Yup it does. Had a safety critical medical on Friday last week and it’s still sent off.

I had my assessment day yesterday, and unfortunately failed. I asked for feedback this morning and I received it within a couple of hours. I passed everything apart from DFFT.
Although disappointing, the positive is I’ve passed to national standard and would only need to complete the DFFT in the future.

Afternoon all

I recently passed my MMI and have a medical coming up soon, was just wondering if anyone who has been through the process, knows how long the results take to come out?

I’ve just received the email to say I passed my DMI - the next stage is a MMI in Croydon, have you any ideas what’s involved/what I can expect please

Congratulations! It’s basically expanding upon the questions you would have answered on your assessment day. Remember the star method for explaining the answers you gave and you should b fine.

Good luck

 

[ElisaHarkness]

Amazing thank you - so basically the questions I prepared for for the DMI!

The exact six questions you will be asked can be found all over this forum. See this thread, post #3: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/multimodal-interview-mmi.142360/

Good luck

I would be very careful with the above statement.
If you concentrate on the ‘exact’ examples given, what are you going to do If the six questions are different?
They could quite easily be completely different questions.

Because it's the MMI, they'd only be worded different at best. I've done it twice and it was the same, and going by all these threads on this forum (spanning years), it appears the same six questions get asked.

And as for if they ask different questions, you'd answer them the same way you answered unexpected questions on your DMI, or any job interview for that matter.

I hope you didn’t see my post as a ‘dig’ at you. If you did then I apologise as it was not intended that way.

Hi all, this thread has been quite quiet! Is there anyone still waiting for a date for their dmi?

Still waiting for an assessment centre date. I’ll have reached retirement age by then!!

Haha, well I hope that's not the case! Okay, I felt like I was getting left behind as the waiting isn't easy.

You won't get to WGC.

All GN trainees are Hornsey based now.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Who knows when I might get a course, but hoping it might be this year too.

Don't give up !!

They'll still probably offer you Hornsey.

There's trainees who live more than an hour way from Hornsey currently out there.

Good luck to everyone waiting in the talent pool, been in the talent pool since June for GN… I know of someone who got the job 2 months after me and has received a start date for March! I won’t hold my breath anymore seeing as they don’t respond to emails
