Best bet would be to use salary calculator. Add the 4 week salary payment option as it’ll be 4 weekly payments not monthly. Minus any pension etc as they’re specific to a person or any other costs such as unions etc.
Well, I wasn't waiting long. Pending successful medical I start on the 18th March!I’m now in the talent pool for a driver position at Skipton having passed the tests and MMI yesterday. Pleased to have got this far in the process. Just hope I’m not waiting too long for a provisional start date
I wonder if the classroom part of the training will be with people from various depots because I also have a provisional start date of the 18th March.
More than likely, yes
Yeah that sounds about right! Looks like we might be on the same course!
Have you got your medical date yet? Still waiting for mine, but they said it’d be in the next 3 weeks.
Literally 20 mins after this I got the call booking it in
Congratulations! What depot is this for?
Thanks Si, it’s Hull depot!
I was originally booked on 18th March. Knew this back in December but then received a phone call in January saying the date had been changed. I was lead to believe the course for March wasn’t an actual course date and someone had made a mistake somewhere. Weird one.
Ah I’m Manchester. Yeh my medical was in December.
Yes. One of my colleagues.
Superb! Well done. Which depot are you in for? I was only in the talent pool for 8 days before getting my provisional start date so hopefully you won’t be waiting too long!
Thanks mate. I’m in Manchester. Fingers crossed I hear back sooner rather than later. Congrats on hearing back though
Had mine recently, albeit in Manchester.
Varies depending on demand for trainees. You could get a course date within weeks of being in the talent pool, but then you could also spend the entire 9 months in it and get nothing. I'd imagine for somewhere like Leeds you'd be in the door sooner rather than later.
It's going to be very depot specific. I was put in a talent pool and then give a course the following day.
