I am in Africa and i have been invited for the Southampton interview. However, considering the distance, i do not know whether Qatar Airways will cater for my ticket because its quite costly from here Kenya. It costs about 1000 British Pounds!! they have also asked me to pay 245 pounds which to me is quite unaffordable. What do i do now that am so interested in this opportunity? the following was their response after submitting my high school certificate.
Thank you for submitting an online application form for the Qatar Wings programme.
The selection team have reviewed your application against the profile of the applicants we seek and we are pleased to advise you that you have been accepted for the next stage of selection. Congratulations!
The majority of our assessment events take place at Crew Resourcing Centre - Dibden Manor, near Southampton. The Qatar Wings selection process is a one day event, which has been divided into a morning assessment and afternoon interview. Your report time for this assessment will be 0815 for a prompt 0830 start.
The morning session consists of an introduction by CTC providing you with further detail about the assessment process, followed by a question and answer session. You will then be asked to complete a set of computer based aptitude tests designed to predict your ability to learn to fly and you will undertake a numeracy test. In order to assess your interpersonal and team working skills there are group activities.
During lunch there will be an opportunity for you to meet with a member of the Pilot Careers Advisor team who will be able to talk you through the process you will undertake once you have received your assessment result, as well as the chance to ask specific questions about the programme.
After lunch you will have an airline standard interview with one of the HR assessors. This will last 30 minutes & you will be free to leave once this has been conducted.
Your assessment results will be emailed the following working day and you will also receive a phone-call from the Pilot Career Adviser Team to discuss next steps.
Due to the constraints of this busy schedule, we will be unable to offer you any face to face or written feedback on your performance
