Yup I’ll see you all march 25th too
They told you 36 for when in training?24k after 11 weeks though, down from 36k stated at the interview... I'm guessing this is how they're deciding to get around getting grads to work overtime without paying them then

Really is great news that things are now moving and many of you have start dates, especially for those who have been waiting 10yrs to get in to this game!! Well Done. Lets hope the rest of the training courses come around soon which being reasonable would be around July time perhaps??
What date is this letter from?
Yes mate thamesport . Hopefully now they've got a date booked in they'll finalise all the details and let us know soon.
We were told recently at the assesment day they had 3 venues for training, Norwich, Ipswich and Crewe.

I think the training wage differs from IM to HH. I think the IM drivers get more money during training then HH leapfrog that once fully productive.
Does that mean you can hand in notice now?
To be honest Im not going to hand my notice in until I've signed a contract . But I'm quite lucky in that I only have to give 2 weeks notice .
This was from Oct when I have my DMI

Same here my notice is only 2 weeks so will be waiting until March itself to hand it in plus I also feel like I should wait until a contract is signed just to be 100%.

My letter is asking for me to apply for CRB so depending on how long that takes I’m thinking I still have a way to go until I receive a contract and any details of where the training will be...

Yeah same here , but I took the risk and did it when they rang me about the medical . I did disclosure Scotland and it only took a couple of days . Hopefully we'll get a contract sooner rather than later , just for a bit of piece of mind .

Totally agree, okay so basic Scottish is acceptable then
Yeah Scottish is absolutely fine .
Same price...
I paid £25 for mine and didn’t do Scottish, took forever to come back though.
Yeah after 4 weeks lol
