CTC Response
Hi guys,
I'm not sure of the reasons behind the wait for a response after submitting an application.
I sent mine at 1130 on Tuesday and was invited for selection at 1900 the same day.
It's perhaps due to the number of applications received on that day ?

I couldn't apply on day one as I'm on my honeymoon and it started on day one! That wouldn't have gone down too well!
Best thing is that we find out either way so it doesn't worry me too much. We'll find out when they're ready to tell us. Doesn't make the wait any easier mind.
Once again best of luck to those going on assessment. I have my fingers crossed for the rest of us.

I'd say 12hrs is not going to make much difference. More likely that because the application window didn't open bob on midnight of the 23rd they are ensuring that they are keeping to their 2 week window.
Still no word from FTE though.

To the folks that have received an invitation for assessment, when have they planned it? I'm asking for an approximate timeframe, not the exact date.
If you don't wish to tell or are not allowed to, what was the amount of time between the closure of the application and the assessments held in previous years? (could not find any info myself)
I have some other things to plan in the upcoming 2 months so it would be handy to know

Tobitronics,
The initial phase of selection will be completed by the first week of April, and successful candidates will be invited to Waterside during April, with the final selection events running at Waterside until May at some point.
My FTO selection is next week.

Yes I know, but what I asked for was the exact timeframe. 'Before the beginning of April' could mean that assessment takes place next week, but it could also take place on the 31st of March. That was my point. I am well informed about the rest of the application and assessment procedures.
Anyway, am59fly and funky thanks for your reactions and time.

You'd have to contact your FTO and BA for exact dates. In my honest opinion though I don't think they'll tell you anymore than what's already on the website at this stage.
Most people are waiting patiently and will attend the assessments whenever they are told to with whatever notice and at whatever cost so bear that in mind. Having said that if you do have some pressing/ non-negotiable engagements approaching I can't see it doing any damage getting in touch and seeking further info.

I sent my application away pretty much at the start of the window and I've not heard anything back yet (from ctc). It really messes with your head cause I've seen some people already been given dates for ctc and then some people rejected on the same day they applied!.. Can anyone offer any insight?
I sort of feel like my application was good enough not to be rejected straight off but not so good that they don't feel like waiting to see if someone better might come along. Just invite me to interview BA! I'll blow your socks off in person I promise!

To be honest, I would be concerned about securing that, all important, invitation to assessment and then every other thing would definitely fall somewhere in between.
Anyone could be left out at this stage.
