Hi. Just found out that I passed the psychometrics and am now waiting to get on a course. Proper chuffed!

Sorry to disappoint you, but they don't use steam engines :D

(Well done anyway!)

Congratulations!! My husband got the same call as you cc3000 last night, sounds like you were maybe at the same assessment day.

Hopefully not long for a start date

I was wondering, when you’re in the course do you get the free Metro travel or is that only when you qualify?
Thanks.
Congrats! I passed mine back in December, but still waiting for my medical, and I was also told that I may need to go back in to the Gosforth office for an informal chat as it’s been pretty much 2 years since we applied - just to recap on the role etc. Hoping it comes through soon! :)

Any update at all guys? Must be honest was expecting some kind of update with the easing of restrictions/lockdown etc

Not a thing pal. I’m also surprised nothing has came through yet. I still need to get my medical too.

Did anyone get an email from Metro today? About no more courses this year?
That's a nightmare that. Those who are in the talent pool will be looking at about 3 years from application to start date (that's even if they do run more courses!)

I got the email. Thoroughly disappointed I have to say. I understand that COVID has affected the training schools, but surely the fact that they are at capacity could have been foreseen, and therefore we could of been notified earlier?
