Hi all,
Regarding trainee train driver assessments.
I can remember during my first assessment centre that there was a massive confusion at the start where some people were told by the TOC in advance (they were employees of the TOC as non-drivers) they did not need to do certain tests due to prior passes. This resulted in a heavily delayed start for all and eventually the 5 odd people being told they didn't have to do xyz tests and could leave the room. It wasn't a nice, relaxed start for anyone in that room!
I passed all but the Tea-Occ in 2019 with a different TOC, now I have the opportunity to sit the assessments with a new TOC next week. I have informed the TOC HR that I have sat the tests and potentially have valid passes from that but have had no response due to their HR only working limited hours. I'm aware I may not have passed the tests to this TOCs standards and they may have additional tests that I have not done before.
The job advert stated if you had previous passes you would not have to sit the tests again, but I'm wondering if this is indeed the case for me how you make sure you don't have to sit them and only sit the ones required? Is it a case of talking to the invigilator on the day, or will the TOC talk to them, or will they know straight away and tell me I'm exempt.
Cheers.
