Sorry I can’t help with course dates, but was wondering if you have any tips for getting onto the assessments haha I applied in August too and got through the initial application sift but have failed to get a date for the paper assessments 5 times now as the dates fill up so quick.
Any tips other than be quicker I refresh my emails so much it’s become an addiction!! Well done getting through it though

I heard it was meant to be January but that’s been and gone so who knows now.

I thought this was maybe the case at Chester, Crewe and Shrewsbury but not Cardiff?
Definitely Cardiff too, trainees currently working from home.
WFH as part of their initial 36 week course? I’m still waiting for a course date.

I've just got mine for Cardiff and a medical date so they are working through them.
When was your DMI if you don’t mind me asking? Assuming you are august recruitment campaign?
Found out I passed the computer tests on 4th Dec, had email on 10th Jan inviting for DMI on 17th Jan. Hope this helps!

02nd Feb so literally quite quick after
Are you an internal TFW employee? Just wondering how they are allocating the courses in terms of priority

People have been saying January but that came and went, so I don’t think anyone truly knows until it goes live

Does anyone have an idea of when the next computer assessment dates will be for Cardiff?
The N. Wales vacancies should be discussed here - https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/tfw-trainee-driver-holyhead-and-machynlleth-21-02-24.263100/
Hi, can I know what's kind of test need to pass to be train driver with TFW?

The thing i struggled with the most was the question ''How would you know as a train driver if you are doing a good job?" - I mean the only thing I could think of was you aren't late to the next station and things like that? Not sure how they expect us to know when we haven't done it before

The less you hear from your manager, the better, is usually a good yardstick
On a serious note. Sometimes you can't help lateness. Your train can be affected by all sorts of things that will incur delays.
The things I went with were how your attendance is monitored, and how you drive trains in accordance to the company's driving policy.
You're also regularly assessed so that usually gives a good indication as to how you're doing.

Plenty of material right here on this forum for all train driver jobs, not just TfW.
