Last time I sat them for TPE they were in Sheffield.
Thank you.
when i took them they were in leeds, in a hotel.
Cool, thanks. Hope they send some invites out soon!
It's not 4 on 4 off, 4 day weeks but sometimes you can work 5 consecutive days for example going from 1 week into another.

Hi Guys
New to the forum
I've submitted my application form and received my 5 AI questions, Which I have competed this morning.
Should I have received any other online assessments as in the 'measured concentration test'
Or is it a case of waiting for them to sift through my 5 AI interview questions before they sent anything out?
Look forward to your help

Sift through them error checking test if you’re successful with initial application.

Unless it’s changed in the few days since I was in the Newcastle messroom looking at the rota, it’s 4/4 at Newcastle. It’s unique to that depot

It’s a mix of 4 on 4 off and 5 on 3 off.

I applied on Friday and got the test email through that evening. I think quite a few did then though so it was just luck for me that I got it so quick. Good luck!

I've completed the ai questions and had the personality insights report back which all seems super positive.
I haven't received the error thing that people have mentioned though. Unsure if it's because I applied later than everyone else or if I've just been binned off. I applied on Tuesday and received nothing since
5 days later I received the error checking test email. After AI interview.

Yes, just for the first 8 weeks of training and then it's straight on to full pay. I don't know why TPE started doing this as no other TOC does it.
There was a rumour that the wording on the contract was incorrect and management signed it off without properly checking it.
We are the only company with this type of contract for trainees, so could well be true.

Do you know if it’s possible to apply for multiple locations - I am within commute for 2? There’s nothing saying you can’t, but my experience with some recruitment portals is that they aren’t able to have two applications for the same applicant.
Normally this is something to bring up at the interview stage, but you could attempt to put in multiple applications.
You were right. Any news anyone?

Not yet, I think depending on the area and number of applicants your mileage may vary ? Some people on here did get an unsuccessful email last week I’m sure
Yes must be a fair few applicants to get through and decide who makes it through to the OPC tests (the job ad did say there were limited spots for these)
I’m guessing people who have already passed the OPC’s to enhanced, will have more chance of getting through the sift…
I think the people who applied later in the application window didn’t even get an invite to the online concentration test?
Often TOC’s don’t even check who has passed the psychometrics until after the sift to give everyone the same chance. I can’t be sure about tpe but it’s something I’ve known happen before
That’s nice too hear
