The "degree" will give you no advantage over others in terms of getting a job at the end of training. As the above poster mentions, the only reason people do it is to gain access to student loan finance, which you otherwise cannot get.

Ive read that an iPad is necessary for training... Are Macbooks also acceptable or is it just iPads, if both which would be better?

Also what sort of software is used on either? Is there a dedicated app for ground school learning?

Any Macbook with Maverick OS or newer. iPad with a fairly new OS works too, just down to personal preference. Its an app, which will have the majority of your ATPL learning material. Easier than giving you a ton of books.

Thanks FlyingGreek just need to pass the assessment now! Have you studied at CTC?

Hi! I've been doing a lot of prep for my selection day at CTC, and was wondering if anyone else here may have theirs in April? Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Anyone on the course starting in early October?

I realise it is 6 months away and there is no CPxxx assigned to it, but would like to get to know my coursemates sooner rather than later.

Cheers

How long is a piece of string?

Try calling them and asking, might as well hear it directly from them.

Anyone on the assessment day the 14 of April? (Flexicrew program)

Live your dream

Hello,

Does anyone know how is the current situation of the Flexicrew pool? I have heard from someone doing it that almost everybody is getting an invitation for a selection day with easyJet.

Is there anyone going for the assesment day the 9th of May?

Flaplesslanding

Direct info on numbers in the pool is not common knowledge, as CTC don't publish it. Having said that, assuming one meets the criteria for easyJet then it's really not a long wait to get an assessment just now. I believe it's been in the region of 1-2 months wait for an assessment for most people finishing so far this year-and some have had less than that! If one doesn't meet the EJ criteria then things will take a little longer.

Recently, most whitetail graduates are getting invited by easyJet for assessment (source: selection day). Some get invited minutes (!) after being put into the holdpool. Although easyJet partnered with FTE Jerez recently, they still uphold and maintain that CTC are their 'preferred supplier'. Also many modular graduates are getting those easyJet invitations.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering something : if we apply for one of the MPL selection at CTC but fail...Can we apply just after for the Whitetail ATPL integrated and take the test again? or we have a 6 months period to wait?

What's necessary to be in the CTC hold pool? With just doing the GS with them, would they add you into it? Cheers

Flaplesslanding

With the hold pool, one either needs to complete the full integrated course, to the required standard, which will mean one enters the main CTC holdpool (I think this is now the flexicrew hold pool-the names have changed a bit since I went through, but the structure is similar). The other way in is to complete AQC with CTC (their version of MCC/JOC). This gets one into a slightly different hold pool, as integrated cadets have priority. However, cadets from both pools are, I believe, getting placements with easyJet without too much delay. Just doing groundschool won't do it, as one wouldn't have completed any flying with CTC.

flyfly4

Thanks for the info Flaplesslanding, do you think is worth paying an extra 8000€ to do the MCC/JOC (AQC) at CTC to be able to be in the hold pool? I haven't had the chance of meeting any modular that just did AQC with them, or either ATPL+AQC @ CTC.

cheers

I met a few modular students who did the AQC at CTC and were waiting for their start date with Easyjet. It didn't seem as though they were waiting much longer than the integrated students when being put forward for interviews. One was a month after completion and another was 3 months.
