Is that the CSS machines being installed in Delivery Offices?
If yes,then there is no test as such. You just attend the 3 day training course and as long as you don't fall asleep and remember some of it, you'll be fine.

I don't know, I think you get 40 questions and it's up to the office manager to decide who gets the job judging on the results handed in. I did not like doing the delivery rounds and I am pleased I got my CSS job but it's bloody hard work. Unless you have actually done the work it's difficult to understand how hard it is.
Preston are due to get 3 machines next month with just 4 operators on each night.

You need a minimum of 3 people to 2 machines.
3 machines, you should have at least 5 people....thus you have cover for breaks etc......

I have to say, the union have been completely inept at keeping on top of the CSS operations. Rather than insisting on a universal methods of operation, staffing etc..... seems every office is different.
Any news on the Liverpool operators who were suspended last week for not working hard enough ???????
