    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?

    You just wear your own clothes on the first day. They give you your uniforms at the end of the first day then you come in the uniform from then on.

    Great, thanks. Hopefully they have my uniforms, I only got my official offer five days ago lol. Also, thanks to everyone here, this thread has been incredibly helpful preparing for all of the stages, I wouldn't have done as well without it. How are the instructors generally?

    The Instructors are top class.

    Some of the best driving Instructors in the country, IMHO.

    You'll be fine.

    I see the ad is still 30th June deadline hasn't been extended yet. Is it going to be extended I wonder I've been keeping an eye on the ad for a while and usually it keeps getting extended but hasn't. Wonder are going to stop recruiting soon.

    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

    If it's the learner permit that you have, you could try Go-Ahead if it's the full D licence, then pretty much everywhere is looking for drivers. So, Aircoach, Bus Eireann, Matthews, ... lots of them

    Bus Eireann would be a good option if you ultimately want Dublin Bus, should be easy enough to transfer over after a few months.

    I suppose Go-Ahead would be a good option but they are a difficult company to work for at least in my experience. Aircoach will put you on the carpark shuttle buses when you start out.

    I got a spot on the VEC Bus Driver course if I get my D license, can I reapply to Dublin Bus or do I have to wait till next year

    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?
