Ah! The suspense of waiting for our stage 4 result is killing me! I am trying not to over analyse my performance but its difficult. This morning was a real privilege though. Thanks CTC!

Mate, it's such a relief, especially considering it was second time around for both of us, must have been the sneaky game of pool and a bit of Neighbours banter which put us at ease! Proper buzzing, although there's still one more hurdle to jump over, should be all good tho. I hope some of the other guys got through, reckon it was a pretty strong bunch of candidates. They said get there for 12 for a 1pm start yeah.
@Newbie..I've got just the 6 hours of flying but I believe Ziyad has a PPL.

Im due to go out to NZ soon, and at the meet and greet they mention groundschool is done by CBT on there computers. Do you still get the manuals and CD rom from bristol? I would rather do most of my studying in my room in peace, and also i prefer manuals to cd rom.
Thanks
Thanks

Ziyad13, Mixmaster and Alexjolly et al, no offence lads/girls, but there is a perfectly good thread to be found here:
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=252747
that is specifically for those "did you/didn't you pass", "when are you going here/there" comments etc. It becomes very tedious reading through all of this to find some genuine questions to answer. It took some persuasion to get the thread opened in the first place, so let’s use it eh?
Spam Can,
ATPLs are done using Bristol Ground School through a computer program called Tracker. It can be accessed from all the cadets' rooms and from any of the briefing/learning rooms at the airport. You will also be given several folders that contain exactly the same information (in case you can learn better the old fashion way). Hope this helps

Alex Jolly,
Congratulations mate, it’s not an easy selection. Be seeing you out here soon (that should probably be in the social thread?)

Wow Pre3jhmt, you certainly seem well clued up about how all these ATPL's work. It sounds like you're very experienced in the ATPL studies and certainly work very hard to get through them.

bristol.g.s. text books
Hi Pre3mhjt,
Sorry to go over the matter, but do you still given the bristol.g.s. text books. I’m only confirming because at our cadet development day we were told that it was now all done on the computer and that the text books were no longer issued
Many thanks
Ribena

Hi guys and gals
I was just wondering how long it tends to take for CTC to get in contact with you after Phase 2 to offer you Phase 3 dates? Just passed phase 2 yesterday with a top bunch of guys and from the sounds of it, a fair few of us made the cut and we are all anxious as to how long we are going to have to wait!
Also, I have trawled this and the previous thread and have some great info on phase 3, but anyone who wants to add some sound advice, interview questions you were asked or any further advice about the team exercises, please do as I'm sure there are a number of us out there who would be very very grateful!
Regards
PAJ

PAJ,
As others have said on here, it's pointless working on specific "CTC" questions. Competency based questions are the norm for most job interviews and are straightforward to prepare for, as they are all about you. The industry and flying aspects are covered in people's previous posts.
There's a lot of questions CTC could ask you, and they apparently keep their eye on here, so anything posted would probably end up not being asked, and your efforts to prepare for such questions may ultimately be wasted.
Focus on building a rounded awareness of the major issues in the industry within Europe, now and over the last few years, the partner airlines and general flying stuff. You probably won't know everything, but they don't expect you to. If you have a decent level of familiarity, you can reason over questions you don't know outright.
Critical of course to be prepared for and know how to handle competency based questions. You need to communicate who you are, what your achievements have been and how you went about achieving them in the short amount of time allocated to your interview.
What I have just explained is essentially what CTC told us to do at stage 2 in preparation for stage 3. Trust me, it's true.
Best of luck.

Hello,
I tried applying to CTC online and had trouble with the University part. You weren't allowed to put a predicted grade, or leave it blank, and I haven't finished my final year yet. What do I do? Do I have to wait till i've finished?
Cheers
Ginger
