My Daughter's had an email inviting her to send her cv to Oxford.
Half an hour later she got the email inviting her for the aptitude tests etc, and asking her for £250....
Now, call me cynical- because I am, but ...
1. Do they just invite everyone, to get lots of £250s
2. If she is successful at this, and the later stages, how much money will she need to spend before she is done?
Ta muchly.
1. Admittedly this process is a nice little earner for the schools, any other industry and you wouldn't have to pay for an interview but hey, its aviation, airlines would charge you for breathing the air in the departure lounge if they could. BUT and its a big but; this scheme is the best way in to the industry at the moment and its doubtful that a better opportunity will come along in the near future. Also this year BA were actively encouraging more women to apply for the FPP so your daughter possibly might have a slightly better chance.
2. All this info is on the FPP site however the long and the short of it is roughly £7k to the school up front, then a BIG loan that is guaranteed by BA and other costs like medicals, food etc.
