Attended the S&D Overview today. It’s time to start studying!! Wow, that’s a lot of material. The signal section looked a little more overwhelming than I expected. 

Stick to it. Put time in and you can do it. It’s not hard , it’s all memorization.

Good Luck

Thanks for the advice. Sorry for the delayed response, I’ve been studying non-stop in my spare time.

 I'm not aware of anyone ever failing out of class because of Air Brake or Tickets, but I'm sure it's possible. Again, the training instructors do a very good job with making sure everyone knows exactly what is expected of them with regards to the exams. 

AC18-2 had 3 ac’s fail rules and 1 ac fail air brake. 

Air brake is definitely easier but the prospect of an easier topic shouldn’t lull any ac’s into a sense of security. 

 

Study study study.

OMG, you guys lost someone to Airbrake.........that's a 1st!  How the hell did they pass rules and fail airbrake.  Jimmy Boyle must've been soooooo mad!

Just spoke to one of their classmates.  He quit the day of graduation.  Passed everything, but decided that college was more important...

That annoys me to the fact he took that spot from someone who really wanted to become a conductor.

Hi everyone, 

I am new to this forum, but I have been following this fourm on the low ever since i attended the  A/C Trainee open house in Mid-February. I passed the Intial exams, and interviews. Then studied my butt off, and passed the signals and definitions exams, which was a sigh of relief. I feel like I did well on the panel interview. I was interveiwed by Linda Oliver and another gentlemen who I believe was the superintendent. It’s been exactly seventeen days, this is the third week, and I haven’t heard any feedback. Can anybody provide some kind of insight? I sent a thank you email on April 18, the day after the exam and interview. Ms. Oliver replied w/ a smiley face which made me feel very confident. But up until this point, I have received no feedback. I’ve thought about sending another email, but I don’t want to send a premature email and jeapordize anything. Also twenty people took the exam, only eight of us passed. So at this point I’m not quite sure. I would really appreciate it if somebody can give me some insight, before I send Ms. Oliver another email. Thanks.

Leave it alone. You’ll hear something. Believe me.

@LIRR 154 I really appreciate your timely response. I will definitely wait it out. But according to what others have said in this form, they received feedback much sooner. Would you happen to know when the next upcoming classes are? Also what is the average timeframe to receive feedback?

There's no average timeframe, it's different for everyone based on where HR is in the process of filling classes. The last class started at the end of February, no new classes have started yet. They almost never start classes in the summer, so you may not hear anything until during the summer for a class starting in September. Just keep studying your signals and definitions so you don't forget them.

Good morning. I applied on the website earlier in February for assistant conductor trainee. I haven’t gotten a response. I see that people have already started the process. I am over here wondering where is my letter. 🧐😞
