So wouldn’t that make it a longer process to get in for people who took the test since they been calling people in for temporary positions ? What will happend to those temporary hires when list is established and they start bringing people from list in ?

Not necessarily.. if there's a staff shortages then the hiring process will move quick. That's why I keep asking if there's staff shortages but haven't got an answer yet lol. 

If the current provisional workers passed the multiple choice then they will become permanent. 

coolno9 & jake3178 since you guys are already working as a TEH. Is there a big shortage on TEH's or not really? Just wondering if I have a chance of getting called in before the year ends. 

That's what I heard.. I haven't witnessed this myself yet but it makes sense since they're testing your electrical and mechanical knowledge. 

If you actually look at the requirements for CI, SM and V&D Maintainers then you will see they pretty much use the same lines.

Have anyone ever heard people who took the signal maintainer practical was getting called in for car inspector?

As a matter a fact yes I have, but the chance of getting called in for CI right now is slim to none. Last month they were still calling guys in that applied 1 to 2 years ago. Although they're calling in guys that actually applied for CI. 

I've also heard CI's being offered Signal Maintainer positions and Signal Maintainers being offered Ventilation & Drainage Maintainer positions. The practical exams for these three positions are very similar from what I heard so that's why they can offer you another opportunity.

Nope  I was called in for signal maintainer, but unfortunately during training I didnt pass 1 of the practical to move on ,

I took it in April 2017 and was called in October 2017,list still isn't established as yet..I took exam.8611 and scored only a 82.5 so I'm not too excited on that but you never know..

That blows ..so you were pretty much already there on a Provisional Signal Maintainer position and got disqualified during Signal Maintainer school?

That is correct ,lately they been calling people in before the list gets established for temporary positions until the list gets established 

 

Provision position is when you get hired thru resume and never took a test ,in order for not to be provisional you need to take the civil exam

tprashad0719 are you already working as a TEH?

I doubt they will call anyone before year is over. I would suppose Feb - April they would call ppl in. Nyct always takes awhile to call people. 

Not necessarily.. the thing is some guys obove on this post are already working on provisional terms. That's why I asked if the current working TEH's are hearing anything thru the grapevine. 

If there's staff shortages then they start calling ppl in for provisional positions before they even release the exams.

Is there any way you can check your results even though you didn’t file out that yellow paper to put your answer choices on to check when answers are posted ? I forget all about that paper while doing test and remember after. They don’t post the test and answer key ? 

Unfortunately now you just have to wait until they finalize the exam and that will probably take months knowing Transit.  

I remember it took them 11 months to give me my score from Train Operator Exam 7604. 

Scored a 97 on the TEH Exam 8611. Can't say it was a difficult exam .. seemed like general electrical and mechanical theory questions. Anyone on here already working as a TEH ? If so Is there a big shortage on TEH's or not really? Just wondering if I have a chance of getting called in before the year ends.
