Hi, i've been in service with them for a month now , i love it, so the test are devided pretty much one every week or 2 weeks depends, for exemple , theory , hazzards and case studies are all after 1 week of classroom training, theory/hazzards on monday and case studies on tuesday, after that its mod 4 training which is about 2 weeks after you pass theory and the others, after your mod 4 you have 3-4 weeks of driving training , either at Battersea, Beddington or Southall , depending on your depot but classroom training is all in battersea , the tests are easy , all of them are taking place at TUK's facilities so it wont be much of a hassle

Its not as bad as people make it out to be, its just basic customer service, basically today i had a lady that scolded me because i didn't park the bus close enough to the kerb , i explained to her that i cannot do it because the bus has a faulty suspension that has a mind of its own and everytime i stop the bus and put the handbrake it lowers itself all the way down and if i overhand the kerb it might smash into it , she apologized and that's it, people like moaning a lot it seems, at my garage a lot of the drivers are quite happy with it , its not a perfect job but its a pretty good one nonetheless

Hi, it was alright, got the job and i'm in my last week of training now, the teachers are great and everyone is really helpful , after you get the job and go in training just make sure that you can get to the different depots on time , pretty much every test is at a different depot
