Thanks for the very useful resources, I'm Canadian so it looks like I won't be applying for this opportunity. Best of luck to everyone else.

My application itself wasn't withdrawn, thankfully (even though it felt like it!!).

I was referring to the form where you have to write the 'essay'. After pressing save on there, the page timed out and I lost what I wrote!

Jaair,

I assume you are talking about the 'essay' where you have to write your 'cover letter' response?

Affirm! The same applies when you have to write up about your work experience, do it on Word first!!

I was under the impression it was uploaded as a document. But then again I am yet to discover that.

Being Canadian doesn't automatically rule you out, I've worked with one or two....but you might have to marry a Brit to get a Visa......

It doesn't have to be an "indefinite leave to remain" sort of visa neither an EU passport alone, to qualify for this scheme; All you need at a minimum is a "leave to remain" that doesn't restrict you from certain types of employment/training. Any other thing in between, as Wiggy points out, is good enough.

Is anyone else having problems inputting their qualifications? When I put in the details of my degree, the options to fill in are:
Subject Result Type If other, please specify

There is no section that asked for the date but when you try to save it, I get a message saying
"Please enter the month and year the qualification was awarded or is expected to be awarded".

Ive tried with different browsers, Mac and Windows, Safari and Chrome but I still get the same message!

Have you scrolled across to the right? There is more information when you scroll across.

@fonawah & @funkyt111. I'm having a similar problem where I cannot enter the date of achievement for my degree and it seems I'm unable to scroll to the right to reveal the tab for inputting the date. Is this an error with the webpage?

out of 1000 applications, 500 will go in the bin due errors.

All numbers made up my me but you get the point.

If you can't work out how to do the form, good luck in the aptitude tests...

A bit harsh Banjo...

They may well be having problems with their browsers...

Had a similar problem. Seems to be OK if you don't open the site from the BA careers page where the FPP application form is embedded.

If you can't work out how to do the form, good luck in the aptitude tests...
Bit harsh mate. Whoever maintains the website should have put scroll bars on the embedded site as the objects on the page are larger than the window. They should also have fully tested their site before releasing it, especially considering the volume of site traffic they would be expecting.

@mrgvl If you just press tab on your keyboard then it will scroll across in to the next box for you.

I know it's early days but has anyone received any reply at all yet? Applied through CTC yesterday and anxiously awaiting a reply.

At least it's better than the last FPP. I remember not being able to even access the website due to the shear volume of site traffic.

On the subject of site traffic, I wonder if there will be significantly less applications to the FPP this year given that it is in its fourth year, ruling out any unsuccessful applicants that have applied on the previous three occasions.

Yep, seems like there aren't as many applicants this year.
