its online
 

From what I've heard its online where as before you would go to a centre I think and I'm guessing its similar to stage 1 now but don't take my word for it. If you can tell us what it was like after you have finished?

​​​​​​thnx. good info there.

so is there any resemblance between s1 and feast ? meaning if any of feast testing tasks is included in new S1/S2 ?

Hi there, I passed my stage 2 in March and have my stage 3 scheduled late May. I was just wondering about the schedule following the stage 3 interview (on the condition I pass of course!). When do the medical and start of training usually take place? I have a trip booked to Dubai for June and July and am wondering if I will have to reschedule.

Thanks!

That's great! Thanks for the info and good luck with your stage 3!

How long has it taken for people to get invited to the 1st stage of online tests in the "new" system?

Just wondered as last time I applied under the older system I seem to remember it was pretty instant, as if you just have to meet the pre-requisites. Been a few days now and my application just shows as "under review".

I've passed Stage 2 on Monday this week, still nothing regarding Stage 3 dates has come through to my email yet though. Can anyone comment on how long it took them?

We are all waiting on invite emails, I passed Stage 2 a couple of weeks ago. Most likely is that they are completing the old process applicants first before arranging the new process dates.


I may drop them an email tomorrow if nothing comes through by then

Oh really, thanks for your reply. Perhaps you're right re old process applicants. Hopefully not waiting much longer.

Seems like we will be one of the first groups to undertake the new Stage 3. From your understanding, do you know much more regarding S3 other than what the website informs us? (Retake S1 online tests, ATC Knowledge Test, Group Exercise & Interview)

Thanks

I have my stage 3 on Monday and I was part of the older way of doing things. I believe I will be one of the last group to do so!

I haven't got any new info. I know that a while ago they used to do group exercises as part of the application, so you could try reading through this entire thread and see what people had to say back then. It's possible they will re-use some elements of it?

Personally I'm happy to leave it an unknown as they intend it to be. At the end of the day, every part of the application tests our abilities and personalities to make absolutely sure we are the right people for the job. I'd be far more gutted if I got in because I "researched" ahead of the application stages and failed on course than if I failed the application because i'm just not the right person for the job. Does that make sense?

Best of luck for 8th May! Let us know how you get on :) And thanks for that, looking on the bright side at least it's extra time to study the booklet!

Just got my email for the stage 3 invite. Booked for 10/06/2019 at Hedge End in Hampshire?
No full address on either email that I've seen but I assume its Unit 5&6, Waterloo Industrial Estate, Hedge End, Southampton SO30 2QT for anyone else that books in...

There weren't many days available and they were all at the same site, so anyone hoping for CTC in June may be out of luck.

Let me know who else books on that day and if they get clarification on the address.

Best of luck to anyone on the final stages of the old processs.

I've booked in for 6th June. Just chose the first available date.

What location options did you see?

The new knowledge info seems to be 90% the same as the old one, but they've cut loads of info out of the aircraft stats, probably found applicants were getting bogged down on the tiny details of the craft (i.e. me!) and the rest of the info suffered. A good move in my mind and reflects the much shorter timescale from invite to assessement day.

Stage 3 interview
 

Just received options for the stage 3 assessment, anybody else going on 13th June to Hampshire?

To be honest, I didn't really look!
Like i said, just booked the first date and pressed confirm.
