Trainee Train driver ( rail freight company) - Group Assessment Day, Advice please?

[Essex Boy]

Hello to all at this great website .

I have applied for a Trainee Train Driver role with a well known rail frieght company.
I have been selected to attend a group assessment day ( 12noon - 14.30 )

My question to you all is what should I expect whilst being assessed on that day?
I have researched the company fully including information on there locomotives and rolling stock what else would you advise me to prepare myself for?

The company says if I am successfull in getting through the group assessment I will then be asked to undertake psychometric testing.

Any guidance and advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks to all.

G.

Sorry Andy my wording on this post is misleading. It's nothing to do with my CV website.

Hi, I'm at the same.
I'm unsure as to what to expect also, seeing as its only for 2.5 hours in not a full psychometric test, letter only says group assessment session. Prepared for anything, but would like to narrow down possibilities

Yes indeed, so probably we will be assessed based on various group tasks within those hours. Seems there's no heads-up info here at all.
