I stayed at Stour Villa. It's the cheapest at £25 a night and the couple who run it are really friendly. They will tell you what to expect (as they have applicants every week) and will make sure you get there on time. They will provide transport if you need it.
If no-one else going to CTC is staying at that B&B they will ring round and try and get you guys to meet up (helps a hell of a lot with the group discussion).
The number is 01202 483379

Just wanted to say that in no way is CTC a scam and anyone who has had anything to do with CTC will know that. Just look at the millions that are being ploughed into the New Zealand operation alone.
CTC is owned and operated by some of the nicest and most sincere people I have met. They want to train young men and women to be some of the best pilots in the industry and all they ask for in return is that you work your hardest to attain that standard. Hence a comprehensive but fair selection process. From where I am currently sitting you cant get fairer than that and I am thourougly enjoying the experience.
Kind regards.

hi,
I've been invited back for phase 3 reassessment. The last time I attended phase 3 was back in October.
Can anyone tell me who has been recently if the format is the same as the follows:
Brief description about yourself to the rest of the candidates (apparently not part of selection, but they assessors were scribbling like mad).
2 group exercises, 1) ship wreck, what do you take? 2) build stuff out of Lego.
Then interview.
Thanks a lot.

Just curious as to what is going on down there at the mo. Recently asked for an application form for the ATP scheme and was told they're not currently running any new courses as the airlines aren't recruiting!
Have I just been redirected to a parallel universe? Plenty of recruitment from what I can gather, and what's more, I understand their holding pool is almost empty.
Anybody know what the score is?

I too have been told they are not accepting any more applications at the minute too. I have waited ages to apply, as i wanted more hours and my MCC completed before i applied to give me a better chance of getting through. I am nearly 34 so will have run out of time by the time they start again.

Anyone attending phase 3 on 20th April? I've recieved no e-mail detailing the format of the day. (probably because this is my second attempt and I've gone through a separate system)
Can anyone tell me what time I should get there and what I need to bring with me?
Cheers.

I know that there is a thread regarding the selection process for CTC however i can't seem to find any help on the application stage of the process. Could anyone who has got through shed any light on what they put down for the question stage.
Never had problems with application forms before but this one means a lot and i'm not the greatest with words. If anyone could PM me some or their suggestions or answers then that would be a great starting point.
Cheers
