Well done guys and girl

I do believe that since the advent of these new tests the pass rate has increased dramatically. I'd imagine that the pass benchmark will alter soon enough to make passing more difficult. Northern never used to accept Borderline Passes in the past and I can see this happening again.

Borderline... Do you get the results? I'd be interested to see how I did
Nah that's the point Lou, there is no grading currently, just pass or fail. Once enough subjects have sat the tests the RSSB will have enough data to be able to adjust the pass marks to suit.
It may be that everyone who has passed on here did excellently but for those that didn't, well enjoy the pass any way.

Yup, you guys are one step away theoretically. Then just medical and references to go.
Exactly but there must be a cut off point surely?
We started at 9am, had the usual ID checking and then the assessor did the pre-test read through (the same as stage1) and then staight into the tests.
We had a shortbreak between each of the three tests and we were all done by 11.15.
There were three of us and the MMI was done at hourly (approx) intervals.
So the first guy was done by 12.30 and the last by about 2.30.
How many in your stage 1 then? We had 30 and I know 3 of us have got through

not really commented on here but iv also passed. was thinking I would of found out tomoz as I received the email at half 6. gr must of been working overtime. anyway glad to hear people passed and hope we all get on same training course in the future
About 12 of us in my session. Though quite a few of these had applied for the Barrow depot.
There were about four or five sessions across the week I think.

Few for the Workington one at mine, and yeah dates we were given covered most of feb, not long to go now......
I suppose the worry is that they end up with more people in the pool than they have places available.
There is a course starting on the 24th, so I wonder then the next one after that will be.
Heard end of March and all year, but to be honest but not sure about the last one, they have to get the staff levels up to the same as when they took the franchise on
End of March would be great for me as long as I get enough notice so I don't have to leave my current employer in the lurch by leaving without working my notice.
I was on a months notice but can leave early so the pressure isn't as bad for me thank god, you had a date for your med yet?
No, that's the other thing that makes me a little nervous.
I have no reason to think I'd fail a medical but quitting a job and then being out of work because of a failed medical is a big risk.
Going to have to do it though.
