I can honestly say that it was a really excellent training program with excellent trainers who really have one goal in mind; to help you become a great transit operator and assist you in passing all your tests. Listen and absorb everything they tell you. Next hump is the 10 month probation period. See you out there. Congrats, just finished day 17, looking forward to day 25. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just control those nerves and don't let them get the best of you. The trainers do a really good job of over-preparing you for it. You'll laugh at how easy it was...after. Good luck.

I just had day 16 yesterday, and was surprised at how over rated it is, it’s much easier than you expect and the trainers have trained you and taken you on much more diffuclt routes during your training so if you made it this far you have no reason not to pass. Just be sure to assess each turn even thou they may appear easy to do as a standard but if it’s supposed to be an alternate take it as such to show you understand how to assess a turn.

Does anyone have Idea how long it takes to get the letter? Thanks depends on a number of factors. 1) if you change your name, it will take 2 months or more. 2) If for whatever reason requires your finger print, it will take longer.

wiggum93 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Hey guys, I'm hoping someone here has some experience with this. I just emailed in my police security clearance letter and should be getting a date for documentation and then a start date soon. I am also an army reservist set to go on a course this summer. What are the chances the ttc will let me go on course this summer? Do you guys know if it will be possible to negotiate a delayed start with the ttc so that I don't start until after my course is over? The union I'm with is cupe local 2 which is different than most of you guys but any experiences from you guys will be appreciated. As far as I know the ttc is a military friendly employer. The only issue is I'm just starting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me only a few hours to get my police clearance letter because I live in Mississauga and have to do it with peel police which doesn't have as much as a back log. I scanned and emailed it to the ttc Wednesday night and I'm just waiting to hear back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zperf Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hello all, new to the forum, I am also going thru the application process. tests, interview, med test, and now police background check and fingerprinting and waiting. I am currently working with another "government" parcel company and still deciding if TTC is for me or not. but I want to know since I am starting out fresh what are the chances that they will lay you off if they don't need you? I was reading online ATU 113 union news and it seems like that the bargaining outcome is not that great and I know that TTC is an essential service. I just want to make sure that if I quit my previous job to work for TTC that I will not be out of a job after 10 months. I am under the impression that people who got the job is like winning the lottery? or they got the "golden ticket" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
