From what I understand most of the selection process is completed before you spend any money. There are one big application form followed by two interview sessions. So a lot of hoops but none of it costs. Then you do their AQC which you pay for. CTC states that 90% pass the AQC but some people just don't live up to their standards. Of those who pass pretty much everybody gets a job unless they screw up the line training. Sounds pretty fair to me. But I have heard of them failing people on the AQC for no apparent reason...but that's of course objective. Would be interesting to hear from people both with good and bad experience.
