Arriva Rail London - Trainee Driver - New Cross Gate / Willesden (19/06/23)

[Rellybelli]

The proposed dmi interview end date of 29/09 might even be extended seen as people on here are still awaiting to hear back after their stage 2 tests. That would put it at 4 weeks worth of DMIs.

I imagine so because the last stage 2 opc tests were done on the 15th September. Doesn’t give long for those that did it on that day to get a response from ARL if waiting time is 7-10 working days.

There have already been people who have been told they've succeed and given dmi dates. As a post said above some who have failed or even passed haven't been told of stage 2 results possibly as Arriva isn't progressing them to DMI. It's worth an email but be prepared.

Where are the DMIs being held? At Southwark ARL HQ?

I was told that I/they won't know if I've passed or failed until all dmi's are completed but surely they would know there and then if you passed or failed? Because they score the interview as soon as you've done and left.

Not really because let's say a 6 ot of 10 overall is the pass mark for the dmi and a more than expected number achieve this then they may further sift those who passed the first benchmark via another one I.e "The top X amount out of those scores"

No just got an email today. I did email a while ago but I don’t think this was in response to it.

Just heard back from Arriva that I failed the MMI. Does anyone know if that will put me out of the running for any other applications I have in with other TOCs? You're supposed to leave it 6 months after a fail before applying for anything else aren't you?

Unfortunately yes. Six month waiting to redo mmi.

 

[Lonerangert]

Do they respond by email or call for DMI?

Receveid the same email before going to bed, sigh.

Disappointed, couldn't sleep at all afterwards.

Wish everyone on this forum to be successful in their DMI though.

The rejection emails come at some strange times of the day, I got mine around 2am a few weeks ago.

Yes... though I would really prefer at least a you passed the MMI but you live too far email like you did.

I get you, did you have any other applications in elsewhere?

Same. I received it 1am. It says “contractor” most likely works from home

Question ‍♂️… I failed the MMI but recently passed the CBI this year. I was told it would override my CBI if I pass (they didn’t specify if failed to my memory). Is my CBI still valid? Cause technically it ain’t the same thing right?

From my understanding failing the MMI overrides the CBI.

Someone was warned of this during the stage 2 day I attended, this was from the OPC staff.

To all those that have just received their stage 2 results - when did you have your assessment?

 

[musicontrain]

I get you, did you have any other applications in elsewhere?

Only one in earlier this year being held after passing an online assessment. Even it starts moving I guess I need to withdraw it then.
Let us know how your journey go! Would be great to see you getting the job really.

Last week in August for me.

Did you get any feedback on the MMI?

I'm hoping my next application has a bit more success and can make it to DMI this time around.

What I've made sure to do now is make/continue progress in my current career too, as much as I want to progress here you got to accept they can bounce you out at any stage and for any reason.

Madness that they still have 100+ interviews to do for this one, you can be great all across the board and you're still up against it.

Yeah you've now lost your cbi as well unfortunately
