Are Dublin Bus still recruiting this year or have they filled the positions? I applied start March and thought I would have heard something at this stage re an aptitude test.

According to Dublin Bus all applications received by March 31st will be processed.
Its a waiting game I,m afraid..

Done my driving assessment last week and have a medical end of month, anyone know how long after the medical they will start you (assuming the medial is passed)

I did my medical start of February and didn't start till last week. Be prepared for a long wait. Things like Garda vetting can really hold you up.

Have you got a garage yet?
Is the training mostly out on the road or in the classroom?
Thanks.

First week is 2 days in classroom and 3 days out on the road. The second week is 3 days in classroom and 2 days on the road. They will take you out in all the type buses they operate.

Do do take in single deckers even though they only have 2

Wolf219

Only if you are based in Donnybrook and if you going to be on that route the single decker uses.

I was taken out to Cabra and Finglas around the estates, some tricky little areas but just take your time and give cyclists loads of room, obviously mirrors, mirrors mirrors, the interview they will ask for examples of teamwork and ask you about safety.
Fairly straight forward, best of luck.

I attended the open day for women drivers, I really enjoyed the experience; meeting the staff and being shown behind-the-scenes in the Phibsboro Depot.

I obtained my D Learner Licence and CPC Bus Case Study and have just had notice this morning from Dublin Bus to attend a written assessment on 26th May.

If anyone can give me any advice or help in preparing for this assessment? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi - iv been asked to attend aptitude test in few weeks and one of the requirements is to bring a letter from NDSL to say you have no endorsements. Is that the same as penalty points as I have a few of these? Worried now.

Starlight35

Yes Lola7301, it's confirmation of your penalty points.
