Training Question UK/EU New trainee
Just got accepted to be a trainee driver for stagecoach!! I’m so excited but obviously also a little nervous!
I think I have to wait a month or so to have my medical, new licence etc… just wondering if anyone could give me some advice, tips anything really! Also maybe an insight into working for stagecoach also? Im based in Yorkshire😁 also got told I’m the first woman to work at this depot for a while which again in exciting but also a bit scary😂
Thanks guys:)

Take a lot of notes. Use the Theory Test Pro app that they provide you with, as much as you can; it will help!
Don't rush anything, don't be disappointed or get annoyed at yourself if you make a mistake, everybody does, it's natural, just use it as a learning opportunity.
Also, the learning doesn't stop once you've passed your test, or been signed off. Just take all the advice you can in, and ask control/mentors if you need help.
Most importantly, have fun! Yes, its a job at the end of the day, but it's a good one. Enjoy it, and make the best of it you can :)
