just applied for Cardiff. Said I would hear within 4-6 weeks after submitting. questionnaire. . not had a confirmation email as of yet. After last times fiasco with Acorn wanted to make sure everyone didn't have confirmation email?

Have applied 4 times now..
1 was in August 2018 (got to phone interview didnt make it past that)
2 Was feb 2019 ( TFW lost my application-but I tell myself this was because it was within the 6 month rule)
3 Was March this year and my application was lost
4 ..... we will see (just had a automated confirmation email - same as last time)
Hi guys, so happy I found this thread! I'm about to relocate from Chester to Cardiff this autumn and I wanted to send my CV to the latter. Do you think I should include the relocation in the application or just describe my location as Cardiff? Since it's taking them so long to process the applications that I'm 99% sure I'll be already there when the training starts
Hi Pavan, I sent my CV to Acorn, then received a link to complete the full application form. I completed that part today. What is the questionnaire that everyone is mentioning as I haven't received it. There were a few multiple choice questions near the end of the application form but I'm assuming that's not the questionnaire people are talking about.
The Application form (also refered to as Questionnaire due to previous campaign wording) is located here: https://www.acornpeople.com/train-driver-application/
Which is what you have completed and all we require for review at this stage.

If you had any sniff of an interviewer and you didn’t research the company/franchise and what they are all about etc you may as well not turn up. In my opinion knowing the company is essential to any success at any stage, including application. Learn from experience and all that !Does anyone else have a video interview coming up/already had one? If so, do you know if it is solely a competancy based interview? Or should I also prepare for questions about the franchise e.g. History, Plans for future, Facts about routes etc. Thank You.
I would wait until you're instructed to do so. Following exact instructions and only doing exactly what you're told to do and only when you're told to do it are very important for driving. Trying to jump ahead will not look good.So I applied on Thursday but haven't received this link can I just use it from here to complete the application?
I've been asked it many times in interviews, and it's a good question! However, I don't think it translates well onto an online application. There'd be nothing stopping you immediately looking up the company and copying and pasting values, ethics etc. At least in a real interview it shows you've digested the information and can remember it!I would be surprised if they didn't ask you what you know about he company. It is a basic question and you should know who you are going to work for.
In all the TOC interviews I have done (which is a lot lol) they have always asked the question.
It might be different now though...
I think it is a six month wait to reapply isn’t it? Where were you going for, Cardiff?Hello,
I got through initial sift, telephone interview, manager interview and past the paper based tests (written communication, group bourdon, TEA, Glop reading comprehension, reading dials) Email last week.... unsuccessful in computer tests, no other feedback. Silly question, but does anyone know if I have to start/go through whole process again?

Hello unfortunately as pointed out you will have used 1 of your 2 lives to be a train driver.Hello,

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but does anyone know how long a new entrant trainee train driver with TFW would be on the training salary for in terms of months or years (£28,488)? After how long exactly, does it rise?
Hi, Have you got any new update on your application?Same here
