Train Driver SJT
We have designed Train Driver SJTs for some of the biggest TOCs in the UK. If you are looking to understand how you might perform on a Train Driver SJT then please get in contact. We can administer a unique Train Driver SJT for you to complete. On completion the results will show you how you performed and if you have done well enough to pass. The report will also provide you with some 'hints and tips' on how to improve your performance in the future.
What do Situational Judgement Tests assess?
A Situational Judgement Test or SJT is a type of psychometric test that presents candidates with real-life work situations and then asks them to decide on the best response to that situation. The Train Driver SJT is a situational judgement test that is specifically geared towards someone applying to become a train driver.
Typical roles that would use our Train Driver SJT are:
1. Train Drivers
2. Trainee Train Drivers
Overview of the Train Driver SJT
Our Train Driver SJT presents candidates with 12 distinct situations that many train drivers might find familiar across a variety of Train Operating Companies (TOCs). For each situation, 4 possible responses are given, each presenting a feasible response someone in a role may take. Candidates are asked to review these responses and select one response they consider to be ' most appropriate’ and another they think would be the ‘least appropriate’. As with all our SJTs, the Train Driver SJT is untimed but typically takes 10 minutes to complete.
Our SJT measures 3 competencies / behaviours:
1. Collaborating with colleagues & customers: Working with others to maximise outcomes
2. Performing safely: Always being alert to safety and security risks, and adhering to safety instructions and procedures
3. Performing effectively: Acting reliably & responsibly in the management of tasks, duties, interactions and own health.

How to do well in your Train Driver SJT
To do well in a Train Driver SJT, it is good to implement the following tips;
1. Emphasise Safety and Compliance: Safety is the top priority for train drivers. In SJT scenarios, choose responses that demonstrate a strong commitment to safety protocols and compliance with railway regulations. Highlight your ability to adhere to safety standards under various conditions and your awareness of the importance of these practices in every aspect of your role.
2. Display Situational Awareness and Quick Decision-Making: Train drivers must possess excellent situational awareness and the ability to make quick decisions. Opt for SJT responses that reflect your proficiency in assessing situations rapidly and accurately, making informed decisions to ensure the safe and timely operation of the train, especially in unexpected or emergency situations.
3. Demonstrate Reliability and Responsibility: Reliability and a strong sense of responsibility are key traits for train drivers. In the SJT, select responses that showcase your dedication to consistent performance, punctuality, and a high level of responsibility in managing the train, ensuring passenger comfort, and maintaining schedule adherence.
