It is disheartening to hear of the slim chances of EY returning to JHB for further assessments (and thus great reason to get past Stage 1 this time around!)
May I hazard a guess that most of the absentees where candidates from abroad, that were "trigger-happy" with sending the email to attend JHB, but later changed their minds because of those cost of flying down.
South Africa presents a good pool of highly talented individuals, many of whom (locals) attended the assessments.
I am disgusted by the no-shows who almost stopped some people who truly wanted to attend from attending the assessment. I think the application process should revert to the website form, where it's not just a simple email to send through.
Besides, JHB is pretty close to AUH and I think the conference centre costs are cheaper than at other destinations.
One of the cadets from last years batch was a South African.
Don't give up on us EY.

Received my invitation for the SYD assessment to be held at 14:00 on the 25th. Is anyone else in this sitting?
I'm going into this with sheer anticipation, it is undoubtedly a great experience and indeed a great opportunity, and that alone is worth the airfare.
Anything beyond that, is exactly that - way beyond expectation. I maintain a content (but focused) attitude to ensure that I don't enter the assessment as a great big ball of stress. Just relax, and relish that fact that we are lucky enough to have such an experience.
Good luck to all the future captains.

Yes, very funny.
Five posts of crap from "First Officer" and an equally nonsensical Private Message to my e-mail. I "suspect" it was a "wind up".
All the crap was removed - along with the now irrelevant responses. No growl at those who replied in good faith and "Thanks" to FACTPILOT for the support of my quest for English language. As long as you policed the thread yourselves I was leaving you alone.
However, it would appear that this thread has run its course. You have all specifically agreed NOT to give out any information. You have all learned what you can from the assessments.
Perhaps it's time to move to Facebook or MySpace to continue your "When can we meet for coffee?" questions. There is no longer an apparent value for "Professional Training" in this ridiculously long thread.
I'm going to invite other PPRuNe staff to comment - you may do the same. Has this thread now reached retirement and is ready for closing?

Hey Pruners
I attended the Johannesburg assessment must say it was really hard. . .
Strange thing though. . .They told us we will receive feedback in 2-3 weeks time. . .I received feedback on the 18th saying Dear candidate we regret to inform you that you have been unsuccessful in your assessment. . .
Could this be an automated response. . .because the email was sent 11 days earlier than expected. . .
And another thing people that want the thread to be closed why don't you just stay out of the room. . .we don't need sad sorrowful people here in this chat room. . .

Guys, Anyone knows the estimate dates for AUH assessments in July 09 ?
I may need some more time longer than a month to prepare visa, tickets, etc....
Also Who is going to AUH ? Any Plans to meet guys ?!
