Hi
How i become train driver ?
Hi Mina - it's great to hear you are interested in becoming a train driver. You would need to apply for a Trainee Train Driver vacancy via our careers site - https://careers.firstgroup.co.uk/jobs/search
If we don't currently have any vacancies, there is the option to register for job alerts.
When it comes to applying, the online application process for a Trainee Train Driver vacancy consists of pre-screening questions, an application form, online tests and possibly a video interview. Once you have successfully completed these, your application will then be reviewed and should you be shortlisted, you'll be invited to attend an assessment day. If you pass all of the assessments, you would then be invited to the final stage of an interview. Should you be successful at interview, you would then be made an offer of employment (pending pre-employment checks) and a training plan will be arranged for you to become a Train Driver.
Vivien Thank you very much

Kind regards
Mina
