Pricing

Three tiers. One payment each.

Group Bourdon and the VSE — the two tests people meet first — are free, in full, for as long as you like. Every other test has a demo paper so you can see what it asks. What you pay for is the rest of the battery at full strength, a whole stage in one sitting, and the method for each test. Platinum adds the interview and the enhanced VSE.

Not charging yet. The library is still being written, so everything on the site is open. The tiers below are what it will look like when it is finished.
Standard

Standard

Free

Enough to find out whether you are slow, and on which test.

  • Group Bourdon and all three VSE tasks in full — practice, exam, the printed paper, a fresh paper every run and your score history
  • A demo of every other test: one short paper, the same every time, so you know what it asks before you pay
  • Works offline, installs to your home screen
  • The free guides: how to become a train driver, whether you are eligible, your CV, the assessment day, which tests you will sit, Group Bourdon, visual search, and where this all comes from
  • The rest of the battery in full, and Day mode
  • The rest of the written guides

Platinum

£89 once

For the sitting you cannot afford to get wrong — usually the second one.

  • Everything in Gold
  • Both interviews: the MMI form and its six examples, and the drivers' manager interview
  • The MMI drill — write the form, then answer the follow-ups out loud against the clock
  • The Determination Test, which most material ignores entirely
  • A four-week plan that says what to do on which day
  • Reading your own scores: percentiles, cut-offs, and the attempts rule
  • The enhanced VSE simulator — the track, the shape sets and both together, with intense spells called on screen as they come and go
  • Every guide added later, at no extra cost

Line by line

The library is tiered guide by guide, so this table is generated from the library itself rather than typed out by hand. If a guide moves tier, it moves here too.

What you getStandardGoldPlatinum

The small print, in plain words

Is it really one payment?

Yes. No subscription, no renewal, no card kept on file for later. You buy a tier and it stays bought, through every attempt you are allowed and however long the gaps between them are — which, under the current rules, can be years.

What is the refund policy?

Fourteen days, no questions, even if you have read every guide. Practice material that needs a hostage policy is not confident about being worth the money.

Do I need Gold or Platinum to use the simulators?

Not for Group Bourdon or the VSE — both are free in full, and will stay free. Every other test has a free demo paper, which is enough to see what it asks. To train on them — a fresh paper every run, the exam version at the real length, and a whole stage back to back in Day mode — you need Gold. Platinum adds the MMI drill and the enhanced VSE — the version with the track and the shape sets — which sits alongside the standard VSE rather than replacing it.

I bought Gold. Can I move up to Platinum?

Yes, for the difference: £40. Sign in with the email you bought Gold on and the Platinum button on this page becomes the move up. You never pay twice for the same thing.

Can you guarantee I will pass?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Cut-off scores are set by the operator, are not published, and move. What preparation reliably fixes is pace, method and surprise — which is where most of the avoidable failures are.

Can I talk it through with someone?

Yes. A one-to-one session is an hour on your own application: advice on getting in, a read of your CV and form, and a talk-through of how the tests and the interviews will go. It is £79, or £59 if you hold Platinum, and booked separately.

I have my assessment in four days.

Then do not buy anything yet. Open the simulators, sit the exam version of Group Bourdon and the VSE tonight, and read the two free guides that go with them. If what you find worries you, come back for the rest.
