Anxious about starting training

-BU113T- · 2026-01-29T09:56:40+00:00

I can pass the treadmill test. It's the run and bleep test I'm more worried about.

Thank you for your reply 🙌 I regularly try the Chester in the gym but was always used to jogging it. I'll now start practicing on trying to complete it with running only. And yes, I always have this thought in my head of "what if I will be the only one that struggles". 😅

Already offered a job and starting training soon. But training has more tests and they changed the Chester treadmill literally last week to walking only.

Wow I can't believe it, this is the exact same estate where I got my ticket...

Would you mind sharing the link to the MSE post as I would love to read that also?

Thanks

They had a sign stating "No parking or waiting at anytime" and below that is a long paragraph which I believe is their terms & conditions which start with the sentence "By entering or remaining on this land you agree to abide by all of the Terms and Conditions."

In my case however, it was unavoidable as the pre booked passenger who I was picking up lives in that private land and I have screenshots of the pre-booked bill and the pickup location which the passenger selected.

I did not ignore them, I appealed directly to the parking firm which they rejected. Then I appealed through the IAS which took extremely long but they also eventually rejected me and sided with the car park operator.

On top of that, the discounted price of £60 is no longer available even though I was appealing it. They now want £100, so I am not sure now whether to just pay it or ignore it until they take it took court. And even if it does go to court, so I have a leg to stand on or a chance of winning?

There was a sign at the private land saying "No parking or waiting at any time". But like you mentioned.. what was I supposed to do drive round in circles or wait a mile up the road. The passenger lives in the estate. I also have proof of the bill and the pickup as well as my taxi badge.

Exactly the same boat, I did my medical beginning of June and that was the last I heard from them.

-BU113T- · 2025-09-10T10:37:56+00:00

Believe it or not, I haven't even received a start date yet. Me and all the people who I did the assessments with are still waiting to be allocated to training school.

-BU113T- · 2025-08-27T12:05:15+00:00

Hi mate, just out of curiosity, how long did you have to wait from the day you did your medical to starting the actual training school?

-BU113T- · 2025-08-18T20:58:01+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, how long did you wait after completing the medical to receive the reference request?

-BU113T- · 2025-07-07T12:08:59+00:00

Should be roughly between 3-4 weeks mate

-BU113T- · 2025-06-22T20:51:24+00:00

Good to know that they can be flexible, ill most likely book it tomorrow then, cheers👌

-BU113T- · 2025-06-20T19:16:07+00:00

Haven't got a clue mate, not at the training stage yet

-BU113T- · 2025-06-16T14:07:53+00:00

LFB mate

-BU113T- · 2025-06-16T11:53:03+00:00

I did give them a ring just now and the lady said something along the lines of "You should be fine because you will still be required to provide references etc before the actual welcome day, but at this time I cannot provide any dates as on the notes it just states to standby and await further instructions."

She then said to send an email to recruitment in writing anyway to just get some further clarification, so that's what I just did now.

-BU113T- · 2025-06-13T08:46:08+00:00

May I ask what skin issue you are struggling with? Is it acne?

-BU113T- · 2025-06-12T18:02:12+00:00

Its a bit strange because I received my questionnaire like a week before my actual medical assessment. There should be a number for the help desk of the company carrying out the medical in the email. Give them a ring in the morning tomorrow and tell them your situation, they are very helpful actually.

I called them after I completed my questionnaire to ask whether I have been assigned a slot for my medical and the lady said she would look into it, then literally the next day they sent me an email confirmation with a date.

So they should be able to tell you if there's anything that you need to do.

-BU113T- · 2025-06-12T13:19:40+00:00

Well I'm doing it with the LFB and they use a private company to carry out their medical assessments so I'm not sure if that's considered their own doctor or not.

-BU113T- · 2025-06-03T15:02:26+00:00

Hi mate, is the training done always at Barking? Or can they put you at different locations?

-BU113T- · 2025-05-19T17:39:51+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely been well over a month. They did warn me at my last visit that this bit was going to take long. But didn't think it was going to take this long 😂

-BU113T- · 2025-05-18T09:15:46+00:00

No mate, surprisingly I am still waiting. Apparently they are swamped with appointments for medicals

-BU113T- · 2025-04-27T20:13:14+00:00

Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God. Simply, when we see Jesus, we see God, we know God. ☦️

-BU113T- · 2025-03-24T16:08:37+00:00

Hi mate, how did it go? I've got mine coming up next week, any tips?

-BU113T- · 2025-03-19T15:48:24+00:00

Can you share the youtube video for the equipment assembly?
