      Trainee Bus Driver Interview

      Dec 4, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Basildon, South East England, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FirstGroup (Basildon, South East England, England) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Received an invitation to an assessment about 2 weeks after applying. Started by doing a brief maths and literature test, simple questions like working out change and reading scenarios and picking best outcomes/solutions. Then went for interview which was quite 'laid back'. After that I had a driving assessment where they got me to drive... a Ford Fiesta!! Lol. When we got back I was asked to wait in canteen. 15mins later someone comes to tell me to apply for my D1 provisional licence and as soon as it comes to let them know. A week later they sent me for a medical where the Dr checked eyesight, bloodpressure etc (I also had to strip down to my pants).
