Yeah it’s not the fastest process is it. I’m 17 months in but do have a start date in a few months time.

 

[Craig PO45]

That’s good news - how did you find the DMI process and medical? Is it a full day?

Hi, how long after your medical did you hear about your start date?

 

[Reeena]

Hi all. Boring question alert….For those who have done their induction recently, what time did you finish on the first day, and second day for that matter. Thanks in advance

Hello, did anybody respond to this please, as I'm wondering the same thing.

I was told it was Thursday and Friday, however it was only one day induction online. And then your depot might have something planned for the Friday, was a bit miscommunication with us but got it sorted eventually lol

has anyone had any emails regarding the dmi from the most recent assessments

Got an email today to say passed the written tests but no dmi and straight to computer tests.

 

[Craigc1985]

I got the same email today about going straight to 2nd assessments. Do you think this means no DMI? Just says the process has been slightly amended‍♂️

Can anyone explain what the schedule is like after the 2 day induction. I seen a post earlier in the thread but I understand it has changed a little since then.

If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

I got the same email. Have you sat anything other than stage 1?

 

[delsomers]

Hey guys n girls

Anyone got thier group bourdon/trainability assesment tomorrow?

 

[stushe86]

Ive had an email to say they are changing how they are doing it.
Stage 1 - done
Stage 2 & MMI
Then DMI

 

[Ducaticam]

I've got my first interview next week, but I haven't had anything about interview/assessment changes.
Maybe it's location dependent?

 

[j17smith]

Ive had an email to say they are changing how they are doing it.
Stage 1 - done
Stage 2 & MMI
Then DMI

My email just said stage 2. Nothing specific about MMI. Although that’s not to say it’s not going to creep up at the same time. What location are you being considered for if you don’t mind?

 

[Arussoco]

Just had a phone call from recruitment, Finally got my DMI on Friday at Motherwell, Gave me a choice of depots for the interview. No change in the process for me as others have mentioned

Stage 2 is the 3 computer tests & MMI.

But you need to pass the computer tests to be able to sit the MMI mate.
