Full Application Pack
🚆 Pass the Sift, Master the Tests & Perform at Interview – Train Driver Application Preparation Package
Want to become a Trainee or Apprentice Train Driver? 🚄
Train driver recruitment is highly competitive. Thousands of applicants apply for every vacancy, yet the majority fail at one of three key stages:
• The initial application sift
• Psychometric testing
• The competency-based interview
Many candidates have the potential to succeed — but fall short because they don’t fully understand how the recruitment process works or what assessors are actually looking for.
The Train Driver Recruitment Preparation Package brings together three of our most valuable preparation tools to help you approach each stage with confidence and professionalism.
Instead of purchasing each resource individually, this package provides them together at a reduced price.
✅ What’s Included in This Package
📄 Professional Train Driver CV Review (£49.99 value)
Your CV is often the first and most critical hurdle.
Our CV review service analyses your CV against the expectations of train driver recruitment and provides clear, structured feedback on how to strengthen your application.
You’ll receive guidance on:
🔹 Demonstrating safety awareness and responsibility
🔹 Highlighting transferable operational skills
🔹 Structuring experience clearly for recruitment sift panels
🔹 Avoiding common CV mistakes that cause candidates to be rejected early
This helps ensure your CV reflects the qualities operators are looking for.
🧠 Train Driver Psychometric Preparation Guide (£19.99 value)
Psychometric assessments are one of the biggest barriers in train driver recruitment.
Our guide explains the key tests commonly used in rail recruitment and helps you understand:
🔹 What the tests are measuring
🔹 Why concentration and attention are critical
🔹 How to approach vigilance and reaction tests
🔹 How to prepare mentally before assessment day
Understanding the purpose of these tests significantly improves confidence and performance.
