I have written out the 6 questions on word and my examples I gave in the assessment day (which I wrote down after I attended so it was fresh in my mind) i have used this forum to research all the buzz words and competencies they’re looking for in my answers and incorporated these in to my responses. And now I am just getting anyone who will listen to ask me the questions and hear my responses. Hopefully that’s enough to pass- I will let you know
Good luck!! Yes I am sure my husband and family are sick of me, but I do like to be preparedme too! similar timelines also. although running out of people who will listen at this point

Hi Train21.
How do you feel
It went ? Was this for Southern ?
Guessing you had your interview on a Thursday ?
Guessing your DMI was on a Thursday ?
Hi luckyflames,
I did my best and prepared as much as I could. Interviews are always hard to gauge! I had it yesterday morning and yes it was for southern. I saw that a lot of people heard next day so was just wondering if anyone else’s experience was different!

Al the best !!
Always hard to gauge you’re right. Im
Pretty sure. They would’ve all had their interview on a Thursday. But like others have said. Some
Heard after a week. At the end did they go into leave/pay/training/medical etc ?

That’s a good sign
Going through all the pay etc is part of the interviewers process and regardless of whether successful or not they'll go through it with everyone
Hi, I'm on a course starting 23rd Aug for Selhurst depot.

Hi Lucky, my DMI was in April on a Tuesday.

Wow !!! Ok. Happy to be corrected.
Is this a totally new application. ? No previous passes from previous years. ? If so that’s quick. Congrats.
No unfortunately this has taken 2.5 years and is still relatively quick compared to some... I applied Feb 2019. It took 1.5 years to get appts for assessment, DMI and MMI and then a year in talent pool. I know of one person who applied Dec 2020 and is already in training.

Mine was a Tuesday too - it probably just depends on the managers there are lots that do it

Thanks for letting me know that. I’m still awaiting a date for the assessments. It’s good to know that you aren’t just forgotten.
It is a bit of a long process with a lot of waiting inbetween dates. Some people seem to go through it quite quickly, some don't. It seems to me that's its more down to the individual depot requirements for drivers, as to how quickly you move through the system, based on your depot preferences.
