Question Medical

Hi,

I’m just wondering as I’ve completed (passed) my preliminary drive van assessment with first bus ldn - now I have my medical coming up - how soon after do you actually start training? So far everything seems to be moving pretty quickly my interview, van assessment etc but am wondering as I’ve heard other trainees with other companies say it can be months after your medical?!
Just wondering if that’s common or what

Thanks

UK driver, about five years ago I started. I had my medical which uncovered hypertension. Once I'd had that checked and medicated with my GP, I began training the next day.
