Recently sat psychometrics and yesterday received a pass so just waiting on a medical now. Was certain I'd fluffed the MMI.

I've already passed a medical for my PTS last year. Is the driver's medical the same standard and therefore be transferable/a measure that I'll pass the driver's one? I don't envisage any issues with the medical but would obviously be gutted for something I'm unaware of to crop up.

Was this for Manchester? I am still waiting to hear back but it looks like recruitment is moving again which is good.

The medicals are non-transferable (even if your current medical for your PTS was with Northern, you’d still more than likely be made to take another full medical) but if you’ve passed a medical for a PTS you’ll more than likely pass the driver’s medical. The only difference is that for this medical you’ll have an ECG and Blood Pressure check in addition to everything you had done for your PTS.

Congrats and good luck!

Hi 19Pop,

Congratulations on passing your psychometrics!!

Can I ask when you applied for the position? I applied in April and recurved the email saying it would be a couple of months before hearing back. Was just wondering if you applied at the same time or earlier. Thanks

Thanks for the replies richfoz and 19pop, and good look with the training.

Hopefully we’ll hear something soon if recruiting has started back up again.
