From the first three groups listed, I have not heard of one single person who was asked to complete anything (other than a pseudo-application to refresh their details in the system) before offer of a start date.
I’m unsure, but did hear that those who were mid way through the process were asked to start again.
If someone was swimming and saw that an external recruitment campaign had been commenced and then didn’t take the initiative to make contact to query their status… that’s on them.
The recruitment (and therefore training) footprint for the next 18-24 months is huge, best of luck to anyone who wants to join
Correct, those caught up in the middle of the assessment process before COVID struck were asked to start again.
The line from the recruitment team and assessors I’ve spoken to recently is that things will start to slow down (not stop) for various reasons - by this I mean the non-TR folk entering the hold pool today for instance, may be waiting until late summer for a course.
Mind you, things seem to change on a daily basis at BA, and what I was told yesterday doesn’t apply anymore the next day !
