Greater Anglia - Trainee Mainline/Depot Driver (24/3/23)

[BigPondFish]

I have recently completed my application and SJT online assesment and was wondering if anyone has heard back yet?

Not yet. Expecting something soon though.

I completed mine on the deadline 11th April, quiet straight forward hopefully good news soon!

Does anyone know what the next steps will be if I already have my Psychometrics?

I'm in the same position,Next they'll likely ask for the dates you passed stage 1 & 2, then wait to see if we get an interview

I’m similar to an earlier post - I have completed the first online assessment with GA and with Freightliner. I have received an invitation to the next assessment stage with Freightliner but not yet heard from GA. The online assessment is for VSE and SJT. If I complete that will I have to forego GA, or can I complete both (assuming/hoping I do reach the second stage for GA)? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Just do both I'd assume the online tests seem to be TOC specific for sifting

Passed the SJT, they said no timescale at all for the next stage just when and if they require any staff they will put people through testing.

Can I ask when you did the SJT? I did mine on the 8th and still not heard anything. From what I’ve read through that’s not unusual!

Think it was a couple of days before the 8th If I remember right but by the sounds of the email its more just hope for something closer to the end of the year for the assessments.

Yep, upto a years wait.

 

[Shrimpercj]

Yeah got same email, passed now waiting if & when.... was told by a GA employee that they fill these talent pools up then wipe them after a year to start again. Its quite common with GA

 

[NSEWonderer]

Passed to the assessment now a wait but I hear these are usual case of a long wait that might be wiped out. Here is to hoping

Where you need some luck is if you get an assessment centre . If you do the whole process can be rapid . You can pass the centre and have mmi dmi and medical and job offer with 4 weeks with a start date 3 weeks later so don’t give up hope

Lots of us have already passed the psychometric assessments but are still in the pool.

There are plenty going through the academy so hope it won’t be too long for you all

Had my email last week about passing p1. No timescales for next steps.
Does that mean, if invited, some sort of VSE test will be the next stage?

Put my name in the hat for this and freightliner.
Fingers crossed as I would love to take either further.

GA use DFFT rather than VSE. But from the email they sent it sounds like maybe there will be another stage.
