Oh right. I passed enhanced too, I hope they just haven’t got around to emailing me yet then.

Thanks mate and you.

Fingers crossed. I would assume there has been a lot of applications for this sort after role!

So yea, similar boat to some, was bumbling along through stage 3, and then when it all started going wrong, I think I made additional mistakes by clicking the next one by mistake as I was too slow to click, reckon I made 8-10 errors, after none in stage 1 and only 1 in stage 2. So glad I went and bought a wireless mouse for my laptop though!

Afternoon all, i have been invited to do the initial online test that has some SJT elements to it. Is there any resources that you could link me to that allows you to practice this. I see a lot of test papers that you can buy from the OPC, but these all seem to be for the tests that you have to complete from the stage after this one.

Make you right. Went and bought a mouse, would have been very tough with just the laptop one. We will wait and see.

Couldn’t really say how many mistakes in total I made in stage 3. Guessing 7 upwards but they may not include both.

This one's all you mate. No practice material for that test.

I found these. Don't know if it's anything like you will be asked to do. https://www.situationaljudgementtest.org.uk/

Thanks. I get so nervous waiting. The first reply was so quick.

 

[utternoob]

well i failed the arriva assessments. Does that i wont hear anything back these lot then ?

 

[Dean90]

Got a quick question people. I've completed the SJT and waiting for a reply. I've noticed that another company are also taking trainee train drivers in my area, if I fail the SJT with these will it affect me applying for the other company straight away or have I got to wait 6 months?

I don’t see why it should..? I know you can only fail twice but is there a limit as to how close together your two attempts can be..?

You might hear back but you won’t be able to sit any further stage 1 assessment for 6 months.

You should be able to apply to another company that doesn’t use this method.

If you've just done the first questionnaire which came straight after you submitted the application, then that won't count towards anything (apart from progressing with MTR). It's just an online questionnaire for MTR only. I spoke to OPC regarding this and that is what they said. So you're able to apply for another TOC if you desire.

So i done SJT, tea-occ, dfft group with arriva on 1st of august failed question i dont know what i failed on i called the OPC they"ll be in contact with feedback does mean i gotta wait 6 months with all TOC's

Depends on which one you failed on. I know DFFT isn't part of all TOCs assessments so if it's that one, then you will still be able to apply to the TOCs which don't do DFFT

 

[utternoob]

Yeah would of been nice to be told exactly what i failed on

Hi can I ask which other company is asking for trainees please? My friend missed out on this application as it closed earlier than expected.

Call overground house and ask them they should tell u what part u failed but they won't tell you by what mark or what u got

South eastern is probly the only toc now that ain't doing the dfft yet but they won't be recruiting anytime soon either
