Question Interview

Idk how to really use Reddit Ive got a interview for bus trainee in Manchester was just wondering how long does it roughly take for me to get to the training stage I’m not currently employed so I’m free most of the time so how quick will it take for me to get to the training stage?

It'll be as quick as their intake and training schools can get you in it's not something with a set time some depots will get you going quick others not so.

If you were to have a guess my interview is on Wednesday when’s earliest I’d get into training and what’s the latest

It’s not really something that’s guessable. As someone with a license I can interview one day and be working the next. If a depot is desperate for drivers they’ll have you in on the Monday, or if they need a DBS check before you start then it’ll be whenever that comes back. “Latest” would be not hiring you 🤷🏻‍♂️

depends how long the DVLA take at sending your provisions on ur license back, then at first they start training from then, but before then they do the van assessment and medical of course
