Completely agree with some of the other comments on here! Pass 8 exams and then fail at the interview which feels like it's set up to fail you! You call for feedback & it's not very clear. People spend a lot of time & effort doing these exams and travelling far and wide for them. It's ridiculous

Hi All. Just a HUGE piece of advise, based on my recent experience I would strongly suggest that you avoid Train Assessments carried out by the OPC themselves and not the TOC. I recently failed my MMI on 1 question, when i asked for feedback for the OPC I realised that the assessor had in fact not asked me the question that I was told I failed on. The member of staff i spoke to acknowledged that the question asked and the question which should have been asked can yield 2 completely different responses. I was referred to the director Jo Lawerence who's response was of the most ridiculous nature. While she openly admits to not being present (obviously), that the assessor can't remember how she asked the question, and that the interviews aren't recorded, her stance is that it doesn't really matter how the question was phrased???!!!! That the assessors verbal instructions can differ from the questions that are written on the pre interview form.?? Each and everyone of us on here puts a lot of time and effort and maybe even finance into preparing for these assessments and I truly believe that the OPC only care about the money they are paid by the TOC to carry out these assessments. This was a very costly mistake not of my making, oh the OPC apparently have no complaints procedure. (I wonder why). Please don't write this off as sour grapes. I would just strongly suggest that any applying avoids TOC's that use the OPC, at least the TOC has a vested interested in carrying out these tests, it's a costly process for them so carrying them out correctly is in there interest. The OPC get paid regardless of pass or failure. I am attempting to log a formal complaint with the RSSB against the OCP so that this doesn't happen again. If you have failed any OPC carried out assessments I would also suggest contacting them and getting full feedback of what it is you failed on and also making notes of exactly what you were asked during you MMI. Its inconceivable that they can fail you on a question you weren't even asked.!!
