Being a bit pedantic, it's not exactly 4 weeks of training at 9 to 5, is it?It's a straight 4 week training (0900-1700) there might be some weekend training involved depending on the business needs.
2 weeks classroom training & 2 weeks station training/shadowing
There's also an assessment to pass.
Yes your right about the latter part of the training.Being a bit pedantic, it's not exactly 4 weeks of training at 9 to 5, is it?
The 2 week Ashfield house stuff is nominally 9 to 5, but often finishes earlier so you can go home and cement your knowledge with a bit of further reading, but the shadowing on stations would be quite unlikely to be 9 to 5 wouldn't it? More likely to be doing a range of shift patterns in my experience.
Yeah i have had a similar experience with the role-play, They tell you just to give good customer service because they understand you will not know how it works on the underground but that is a lie they expect you to know certain things. My role was with a customer coming to the gate line with the wrong ticket but long story short after asking if they had any means of paying for a valid ticket they said they had no means because they had forgotten their purse at home so i let them through which is something that you can do but before she got let out she asked how would she get back, I said I would tell a colleague to let her back through when she comes back and that is where i messed up. so they are looking for certain things but they make it out that they aint which is not right imo.I Had my roleplay sometimes last week and i was not successful. I had a scenario of someone at the train station playing music and collecting money. He mentioned he was collecting money to get to pay for a valid ticket on the underground. I was friendly and empathetic as he is an old man. He also was vaping which i mentioned is prohibited on the underground.
However, at the end of the roleplay, i was told i was unsuccessful because buskers (people who play music for money at train stations) are illegal on the underground. Also if any buskers were to be allowed, they have to be licensed.
I never knew this LU policy nor have i ever heard about it. Before the role play, i was told i will not be assessed based on my knowledge of the policies of the TfL or the LU.
To my dismay, i was judged based on that.
It is really unfair.
Has anyone faced a similar experience please?
Just 1 assessment? Is it hard?It's a straight 4 week training (0900-1700) there might be some weekend training involved depending on the business needs.

HiyaHi guys, I received a call from TfL tema today and they asked about my availability to start the training. I said I could start as soon as possible, so the lady thanked me and hung up. I found it very random lol. For those who already received the start training date, it was the same ? Or they did contact you to let you know the starting date straight away?

Just to let all know. I started my screening check on the 24/04 and they have completed yesterday , and today received a call from TfL team but still waiting for training dates. I hope it will be soon.
Have they got back to you saying that the documents are not enough?Hi does anyone know what happens if Reed cannot contact a reference during the referencing part..? I have provided them the PAYE tax invoice which I thought would be enough in the scenario where they can't contact someone
No not yet. But I'm not sure the contact I have still works at my previous employer.Have they got back to you saying that the documents are not enough?
If they can't get hold of a referee, they will ask you to provide payslips (first payslip and the last payslip of the requested employment)No not yet. But I'm not sure the contact I have still works at my previous employer.
What's annoying is I specifically put not to contact this employer (they were my previous employer last year before my last job from this year). I put that they could contact my employer from 2 years ago and my last one from this year... And yet they're still asking for the middle one.
They've also asked me for my PAYE tax form which I was told would confirm things anyway... Just a bit frustrating
I passed the Lizzy line D&A test and medical while using pouches so I guess it should be ok unless LU do a more in depth testQuestion on the medical regarding nicotine and Alcohol.
I'll assume that the alcohol is the usual nothing 24 hours beforehand (I'm not a heavy drinker so not worried there) but if I need to not drink several days beforehand would be good to know before going to a birthday drinks a few days before!
But on nicotine - I use Velo (nicotine pouches), is that an issue for the drugs test or should I also stop those a few days beforehand?
I figured it's usual for some people to smoke or vape but I don't know if these pouches are different for the purposes of a test. Any advice on those would be great (should I go back to vaping for example rather than using them?)
Yes, you get uniforms on the first day. There’s a big box of clothes but its not heavy and theres a way to carry it tbh.Hello everyone
Do you get your uniforms on the first day of training so can I take a bag with me?
Thank you
Do you know how long they'll wait on a reference before asking for this?If they can't get hold of a referee, they will ask you to provide payslips (first payslip and the last payslip of the requested employment)
I’ve received a call also to book my training dates. When did they book you in ?Today, I received a call from the recruitment team to book training dates. I was also informed that I would receive a call from the medical team to schedule my tests. Could you please let me know how long it typically takes to receive a call from the medical team? Additionally, how long will it take to get the results after the tests?

Lost passportHello everyone,
I have my roleplay and SBI coming up this Friday.
For roleplay, are there typical scenarios that I should expect to have?
Or might they be very different to the ones that were mentioned here on the chat?
Two weeks after reed screening been completedCan I ask how long you got call after reed sending for the training dates? Thanks
The same question, how long after your reed screening you got a call to book start date? Thanks
You can tell them your pre-booked holidays at the time of the call.I'm still in REED screening, but I have pre-booked holidays in August and October (so may not be till mid October) till I can start.
I presume they give you a months notice before your training starts? They still haven't or had oppurinity to tell them about the dates I can't do yet.
Thank you.Lost passport
