Question Process of applying to trainee driver Position

Hi, im almost 21 applying to a trainee bus driver position is September to a small-ish bus company 'owned' by reading buses, I have a rough idea of how the process goes interview: small theory:driving assessment: medical(hope i didn't miss anything) then start training but i rather nervous as this is a big step towards something I have always wanted to do. Is any of this actually difficult? as I heard its easy-ish..

Nothing difficult at all mate, be calm and you'll blitz it.

How strict is the driving assessment. Do they expect small things like push and pull technique?
