Dublin Bus looking for Drivers

What does it mean by 815 over 5 weeks? does this not mean you will get 815 every week?

Hi All I’ve been chatting to a few drivers on here and in my local area and the most common thing they are saying to me is that it’s very difficult to get into and you have to be of the highest standard, can anyone tell me about there experience and if this is what they experienced and was it hard to get into DB thanks

Do you have to be over 25 to drive for Dublin Bus?

Unfortunately I failed my driving test yesterday (I've another chance in a few weeks to pass and if I fail a second time I pay for it the third time round)

The school itself, I love it. I love the driving, I was in a class of 12 split into 4 groups of 3 per bus. You could get a different instructor every day for the training period, I was very lucky that I got the same one. He was phenomenal in every aspect and were very close as are the other 2 lads I'm with, they'll already be friends for life and I only started a month ago. Nerves and a bit of bad luck failed me yesterday but I'll get it again.

If I was you I'd absolutely go for it. 100%

That is very quick

Yes, bring all with you.

Fairplay that is very quick, what day is the medical

Three stages,

1. Fare calculation report (different stages, cash and leap fares).

2. Written report where you have to write in 100 words what you would say if the bus was damaged or a passenger fell down the stairs etc.

3. Situational awareness test, you are given multiple scenarios you might encounter as a bus driver and have to list in order of four the best to least best way to handle that situation.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for all the information that you've posted about the various assessments, it's been a huge help getting through the various phases. If anyone has any questions on the application to medical phase, please ask.

I have my CPC and case study in just over two weeks and I really want to do well - can anyone give me some pointers on what to concentrate on study-wise study and anything else that they found useful please?

Cpc and theory test in 3 weeks time. Delighted to have moved on to next stage. I'm ready for theory test, I've been using the app but the cpc? Do I just read the case studies and then answer questions about the faults in the study, do I have to memorize them?

Just realizing now too my medical forms will be out of date too. Will I need to redo medical with my doc?

Thanks

Thanks, I'll have read through. Best of luck on Wednesday!

Hi everyone,

I start training next week(excited and nervous!) One of the things they're asking me to bring is a CPC Case Study Sheet. I'm not exactly sure what that means.

When you did your CPC case study or "theory test" you should have gotten a pass sheet from the RSA

Hi! I have my first day tomorrow and just wondering what I should wear? I asked for clarification, but was told to wear "my own clothes". Any suggestions?

I had my driving assessment and interview 2 weeks ago, at the end of the driving the instructor said I didn’t get any marks on the sheet. So I had my interview after but this morning I got an email saying they were not going to progress me to the next stage. I have my CPC, and my D permit. I’ve made every effort to put myself in a good place for the recruitment. And now I don’t know what to do, I’ve done a couple of D lessons too. Should I keep going or go back to my hospitality job that I hate. Any advice

I am currently preparing for the D licence & CPC test. I have a subscription with dttonline. So to study for the D lic. exam ; if i just read the multiple choice questions(There are a couple of hundred) and run the practice/mock tests it should be enough. I don't need to read the books? The cpc section has me somewhat confused. There are six scenarios or short stories. No practice questions on these listed? Am I supposed to point what the driver did wrong myself? Is that what the cpc exam is?
