Chatting with colleagues, we're under the impression that the freeze in recruitment will be with non safety crit roles. However, judging by the latest vacancy email, that hasn't been implemented yet. From what we gather, we will find out more on the plans for the shakeup in a few weeks.Hey guys I currently work for GTR and passed all assessments currently awaiting medical, latest report on all tocs in the company email that was sent is that there will be a freeze in recruitment due to covid as there will massive employment shakeup. Hoping if anyone could shed light on what this means for the recruitment drive for trainee drivers as I know members of staff who have been awaiting a course date for literally years
This is interesting. I’ve always wondered how they selected candidates for upcoming courses. As you’ve said many have been waiting for years to start, while some of us who applied in December 2020, are starting this August, while others I’ve already started.Hey guys I currently work for GTR and passed all assessments currently awaiting medical, latest report on all tocs in the company email that was sent is that there will be a freeze in recruitment due to covid as there will massive employment shakeup.

I know someone who also applied in Dec' 2020 and has been in training since May. Not sure how this really works. Intrigued!!!This is interesting.

I am from HR background hence intrigued to know how their recruitment system actually works. Always like to learn new things.I don't think anyone knows. I ignore speculation.

Be prepared for a long day with numerous tests. Be on time. Most of the tests are straight forward. Stay calm focused. And don’t think if you’ve done unwell in one test to give up. Keep going.Hey,
Congratulations, I've got my assesments coming up very shortly. Any advice? Or any revision you recommend me doing? Or anything you could send me?
Thank you
I know it will be a all day so I'm aware and ready for that.Be prepared for a long day with numerous tests. Be on time. Most of the tests are straight forward. Stay calm focused. And don’t think if you’ve done unwell in one test to give up. Keep going.
search the group bourdon tool on the forums here, there are links to software you can download. or, recruitment will send you practise papers before your assessment day which also include it. practise this until your eyes bleed as i think this is the most failed part of the assessment day.I know it will be a all day so I'm aware and ready for that.
Any advice in what I can use to revise? E.g. Website
Thanks in advance
You should’ve been sent practice material. Do these until you’re blue in the face.I know it will be a all day so I'm aware and ready for that.

Take your time. I think I did 12 and passed. Others did 4/5 and passed. Accuracy counts here. along with the 2 hand co - ordination. I personally wouldn’t practice for a long period. With this one. Do your two practices and go for the test. As long as you improve throughout the test.
you will pass.
just a thought - did you pass first time? maybe they thought your answers were bang on so were reluctant to let you change them to something that might be less suitableI wasn't allowed on mine. Had to stick with my original answers. Luckily it wasn't an issue. Hopefully they will with you.
What exactly should I be expecting from the MMI?Does anyone know if you're able to change more than one of your answers for the MMI? I've come up with much stronger answers (imo) compared to what I wrote down on the assessment day now I've had time to think about them. I'm assuming they'd let you change 1, but is it possible to change a few?
It differs for each question.In the DFFT if I'm not wrong is the fault finding.
I've done a practice online. However, it tells me to click the fault. When I get to the end it's wrong and I should have clicked on the non faults. So now I'm just confused as to what I should be clicking.
Does the DFFT always change per question? Or is it just one right throughout?
Thanks for the help.
they give you the questions on your assessment day, and you write a short sentence to give them an idea of what you'll say. the actual mmi is on a different day though, after you've passed the assessment day and your dmi with gtr. here are the questions, they are the same for everyone:What exactly should I be expecting from the MMI?
Any particular question/s you may recall?
Thank you!they give you the questions on your assessment day, and you write a short sentence to give them an idea of what you'll say. the actual mmi is on a different day though, after you've passed the assessment day and your dmi with gtr. here are the questions, they are the same for everyone:
Name a time that demonstrates that you can be relied upon to do job in face of difficulties
Name a task you have to do where it’s important you don’t make a mistake
Name a time you followed strict rules and procedures
Name a time you took control of an emergency situation
Name a time you persevered to learn something that was difficult
Name something you have done that is similar to the role of a train driver
Me too. Frustrating but nothing we can do but wait.Just had the usual monthly update email saying they have filled all the upcoming assessment dates with candidates randomly chosen. Next update will be early August for the dates in September. The patient wait goes on..
