Hi there

I have an upcoming assessment day in Birmingham, confirmation email reads:

It is vital that you arrive on time as we are unable to accept late admissions. In order to sit your test we will require you to bring both photo ID and also NI identification, should you fail to bring this on the day we will not allow you to continue and sit the tests. You will be asked to sit the following assessments on this day: Group Bourdon (Concentration) Trainability for Rules & Procedures Test (TRP 1 & 2) Driver Fault Finding Test (DFFT) and Test of Everyday Attention (Tee-Occ).

The testing session should last no longer than 3 hours in total but if you are successful at testing stage you will be invited to attend a company interview with our Driver Managers and the final assessments which include the Vienna Test System (Two hand reaction and perception test) and if successful, situational judgement exercise and multi modal interview.


Does this sound like the company interview and final assessments will be on the same day if successful?

Normally the two interviews and the second set of tests will all be on a different day because the first set of tests are on paper, but the second set are on computer

No, it sounds like they will invite you back at a later date for the stage 2 assessments (Vienna tests and MMI). This is how it normally happens.

As stigy said. All paper tests on assessment one, then, if successful, another day where you head to Watford for assessment two plus MMI interview if successful in computer tests.

If successful in all of that, you will get a DMI interview at a later date, also in Birmingham, assuming its with West Mids.

Then finally a medical if successful in your DMI
