Transport for Wales - Trainee Train Drivers

[RedRobin]

Hi mate,

What are the hours when training?
Is a lot of it done from home these days or is it in class?

thanks

First 12 weeks is classroom or via teams usually 9-3pm

Then your on shifts with your DI, which can start anytime of the day you will follow their pattern.

Good luck
Computer isn’t too bad

Out of interest, what's the procedure after you have had a medical? Do you get told straightaway if you have passed? If you have passed are there further steps? How long after you passed is a job offer made?

Thanks

P.s no I have not had a medical yet

 

[Plodster]

Well done! Just passed the stage 2 computer tests. Now have to wait for the MMI results!

Did you hear this week mate?

Just been asked for my N.I. number from TFW. I have already passed the psychometrics to enhanced standard with another TOC recently so hoping that will be sufficient for TFW. If so straight onto the DMI.

 

[MH211]

Does anyone have any advice/tips for the DMI? I have searched the forum for a general idea but advice specific to TfW would be much appreciated thanks in advance!

 

[Tracey87Blue]

Has a anyone been invited to a DMI? Still waiting. X
