I literally JUST got the clearance for the NPPV 2/CTC it took 9 months.

I saw some operations officers and they like the job with is nice to know, but they mentioned after training there are 2 exams to pass on by laws. Does anyone know what to look up so I can get to learning as retaining info could prove difficult. Depending on how quick training is.

Just had an update.
I can't start in September. I can't start in November. They offered me a start date in march. I'm going on holiday in April so I can't start then either.
Only offered me nights or have to wait till after April to start now. This is an absolute joke.

Hello mate , I’m a TSE. They don’t do assessments how they used to but there are ongoing assessments through your probation it’s changed but knowing your byelaws are crucial 1-16 22,23&24 are your bread and butter to know Google TfL byelaws and revise them is the best information I can give without giving away too much

It’s a long process it’s where there are two main depots so they’re crowded I’m pretty sure they’re working on getting more across the network to get people in as fast as they can they can’t get anyone in until the met do the vetting they can’t do much about the mets process

Bleep test.
Nvm then. Good luck.

Remember it's not a race. Don't try to catch others in your periphery that are ahead of you. There is zero benefit to outpacing the bleeps.

Here are the timings for each level. Just count the seconds in your head and you won't panic about missing a bleep.


Assuming your fit enough, the actual challenge is the uncertainty of the bleeps. Once you eliminate that, it's child's play.

Cheers mate, it wasn’t too bad. They’re quite lenient when it comes to missing a beep. As long as you don’t miss three beeps in a row, you’re fine.
