HI ALL HAS ANYONE HEARD ANYTHING YET APART FROM THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR RESPONSES?

 

[route101]

Time will tell but I doubt the lack of a covering letter will make much of a difference. Good luck!

You can combine a Cover Letter and CV into one PDF if you can still update it.

No need to shout.. Reading the responses so far it would seem no one has heard anything except a few who, when logging in, have had an ‘end of process’ status.

Just been sent an invite to complete online RAAT for XC, I already have enhanced OPC passes done with another TOC. Does anyone know if the result of this would effect those passes in any way?

Probably a stupid question, what's a RAAT test? is it similar to situational judgement tests etc?

I have received the same invite this morning and also have enhanced passes for another FOC. My understanding is this RAAT test will not impact those other results as it is an online test.

Rules Aquasition Apptitude Test

If you get the invite there is an attachment with practice material on it for the RAAT. As per all other OPC tests the material clearly explains what to expect from the test itself. On the face of things it does look similar to a SJT type test.

No they don't. But you still need to do them.

Ahh ok, thanks! I haven't had anything yet but my application still says "in process" so here's hoping!

 

[carl123uk]

I've been emailed to complete the RAAT test as well

 

[TrainTracks]

Congrats guys! Out of interest are you still ‘application in process’ on their application site?

 

[ALADOU47]

Yeah same email this morning had to be done by Wednesday next week

 

[mrredrunner100]

I'm still in process but no email. So frustrating seeing all this and not knowing. Just have to wait I guess

Yes, I'm the same but at least we know applications are moving through the process ...fingers crossed!

 

[Fratton Guard?]

Still in progress here

I’ve not had the email. Really hope that doesn’t mean I’ve missed out. I’ve already passed all the OPC assessments at an enhanced level

There seems to be a few people who haven't had it and still saying "in process"

Yes still application in progress on the site. Assume they might just be working through them in small bites but who knows.

Hi,

Not done mine yet going to use the time they have given to look through the practice material and do it early next week.

 

[Locomotivation]

A couple of questions for the folks who’ve had the email. What depots are you going for and have you already passed the OPC assessments?
