I was always under the impression the DMI was NOT part of your lives as it’s run directly by the TOC and not the OPC.
I think the MMI is part of your lives though.

That's what I thought as well but OPC said that I had to retake the two papers that were sent to me from DRS.
It's possible that I passed to National standard & DRS is enhanced but they couldn't (or wouldn't) confirm that.
DRS use enhanced standard yes

I wonder what time classroom training starts and finishes in Aylesbury Monday to Friday?
I can remember the questionnaire asked if we could attend Aylesbury for 9am starts everyday

Yep, and if the council mess up the roads again only people living in Southcourt and Prebendal Farm will be able to get there in 45 minutes

You don’t need to be within 45 minutes of the training school. It’s 45 minutes for your designated depot. You just need to confirm you’ll be at Ayslesbury classroom for 9. They give you a train pass.

Has anyone got a phone number or direct email for anyone within chiltern recruitment team? I have had issues with the questionnaire they sent out and it’s now past the deadline

Has anyone heard back yet with any interviews or anything apart from the form about equality which took 5 mins?

There was an equality/equal opportunities monitoring part of the initial application I believe. Not sure about a separate one?

Sounds like you may have missed a massive part of the form if that's all you saw and it took 5 mins.....
Gotcha! In the email with the link to the questions and SJT it said they will read the responses on Monday 1st August, guess it’s just a waiting game!
Was thinking that, there were 3 pages took me a while..

after I did the one which lasted 45 mins I had to send another one which took a min or two I’m not sure if that’s just the initial like your saying

There was only one link in the email from recruitment. That was all we had to complete in that stage I believe.
Equal opportunities generally goes in with the application form?

I thought that too but I got a separate one to fill out which I found weird!

Yes it was all in one.

Don't recall this but didn't do it on a phone so may have appeared differently. On the other hand if it was emailed separately it could mean that the one with the application wasnt complete or even that its random?
No idea haha!
RE starting applications - it's straight forward. Tends to be a CV and Cover followed by some written questions.
There is alot of resource on the forums if you do some searches under the career section.

Google is your best friend for it really. Keep an eye regularly on here in the Careers section and through your own research. It's still a bit of a weird period in terms of recruitment - not yet back to normal post Covid. And generally normal is a very slow process. A key thing to remember - even if you get through ALL the selection don't give up your job until you have a course date (it could be a matter of just weeks or multiple years until you get pulled out of a talent pool).

Ha yeah! I think we all feel that pain - its the worst bit!
Just re-read the advert - "The courses begin on the 8th and 9th of September". A month until the first course!? Believe there is another on 5th Dec?
The wait is killer!

Didn't see a September option on the course start on the form. The test options were 18,19,25,26 August and 1,2 September so wouldn't leave much room to a September start.
Could only put down 5 of those 6 dates as available as didn't want to be testing (if chosen) on my birthday

I strongly doubt the first course is next month; logistically impossible. The first course is December followed by some late next year.
