Newbie22 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Has anyone started training earlier than the estimated time frame ?

Hi @Newbie22 from what I remember at my info session (late Feb) they told us about 6 months to a start date. Keep in mind that timeframe can change in either direction. I will be going for documentation this week which is the final step before a start date. When was your interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuggetRocket Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hello everyone, been a while since I posted. Just wanted to say thank you to all and this board for helping me get through tough times. I've successfully passed my 25th day final driving test and got my badge. I will be on my 3rd day of route familiarization and will be on my own on Tuesday. A few things I wanted to share to everyone who's waiting for their call for training... The toughest part for me was the wait for "the call". I was very anxious, stressful as the uncertainty factor sets in. Also the first 15 days of training are very intense. Everyday will be a different challenge, they will try to shovel feed you with info and you can only handle so much. Even if you have driven large vehicles before, approach the training with an open mind and a humble attitude. The instructors really do want you to pass. To overcome anxiety and self-doubt, remember why you had applied for the job in the first place. Keep pushing and strive to secure a career. If you guys have any questions about training just holler. Good luck moving forward everyone! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instructors do "over-prepare" you for every test. So as long as you absorbed it, you'll pass! Turn wider but not too wide, avoid running into ambers.

Controller Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hello All, May 24, 2017 info session applicant checking in! Just did my physical last Wed July 26. Still waiting on my police letter but should not take too long? Anyway, I've been snooping around the comments here and I just wanted to say thanks for all the help. All the info I found here helped me a lot in the recruitment process. Just a small question though regarding documentation. Will they provide any info that I can use to study for the upcoming training I will be doing whenever i get the call? For example, will they provide booklets of ttc procedures that I can read beforehand so that when training day comes, I just focus on training and not the rules (ttc etiquettes) that i will follow? As for training, has anyone been successfull in requesting extra training (after hours training-without pay) just so you can get a better chance in passing? And for those who got the call for training, did most of you if not all took a risk and decided to give your two weeks notice from your current job. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libra Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hello Everyone, I've read some info in the forum in regards to airbrakes, went to MTO a few weeks ago asking for the booklet and they said that is for big wheeler trucks only and got raised brows reaction when I asked for it, lol! Instead they suggested I would get the bus booklet which what I ended up buying. Is that the same one I can use for study reference? (Just trying to get familiarized ahead a bit with the topics that will be covered in the training. Im one of those girl scouts as you may know?I have some spare time I might as well use it to something worth? and while I'm waiting for the actual training schedule. Another many great thanks for your tips and help. @Controller hey controller I was on that same date as well! What time did you go? I was at 8:30a.m. Good luck to both of us and to all?

It is available online for free as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The booklet covered more on the school bus though there's great information of the traffic and road signs for refresher. 27 minutes ago, 905r said: Hi @Libra I was looking through the bus handbook.
