Sydney Trains Trainee Train Driver Recruitment

Sydney Trains recruits trainee train drivers and trainee train guards through job ads on the Transport for NSW careers site. The current Trainee Train Driver candidate information pack lists the stages as the application, job-related testing, a video interview, an interview, pre-employment checks (medical assessment, NSW Government employment review, National Police Check and reference checks) and an offer or a place in a talent pool, and says the process can take six to eight weeks. It says the job-related tests "may include reading comprehension, abstract reasoning, and a visual search exercise", and that job-related test results remain valid for 12 months. The packs give no test questions, timings, question counts or pass marks. The Trainee Train Driver program is a one-year, full-time program of classroom, simulator and on-the-job training.
