i did my interview last year and unfortunately i failed.
what i suggest u to do is to get ur CPL also ur multi IFR rating
i applied with my CPL and multi rating and got rejected.
after couple week, i got my IFR and sent an e-mail and they eventually invited me for an interview.
for the short course, u would rather have a higher qualification than lower.
btw, it may/may not open again this year coz CX is losing money.
last time, when they rejected me ,they told they are gonna open again this year but up to now, i still do not see any news about the program again.
