Anyone heard back from FTE yet? I sent my application away on the 20th of Nov but no word yet. Did everyone make an application to their place of training as well as the BA application form?

did anyone do the flight simulator exercise for their OAA day 1 assessment, hearing contradictory things on whether it's been left out of this stage?
Got my assessment on the 4th, nerves definitely building now!

@Alex_95 If you haven't sat your A-Levels yet, you don't meet the minimum education requirements, maybe this is the reason why you have not been contacted. Unfortunately posting the same question 3 times here will not get you your A-levels in time for selection.

@fallingwithstyle I though it might be ok because you have to be 18 by the 1st July by which i will have finished my A-Levels. I have been predicted by my school AAA and last year got AAB so to fall to BBC I would have to get CCD this year which is unlikely. Also the flight training doesn't start until the autumn at the earliest by which i will have received my results. So i thought it would be worth applying and hoping they understand this.

@Alex_95

Unfortunately this isn't the case with the FPP scheme. I should know as I was advised by OAA to do the same thing last year and I was in the same position. BA state that you must have obtained these grades before the time of your application and NOT before a 'possible start date' for the courses.
But good luck nonetheless!

"Please note that academic qualifications must have been achieved upon submission of application."

This is clearly stated on Oxford Aviation's website. Unfortunately you will not be eligible to apply and will not be invited to assessment. Try next year buddy

fish FTE

No answer from FTE yet here...

Submitted my application the day before the closing.

Good luck to those that are doing the assessments already.

Applied to CTC, nothing back yet?

I've got a Bsc degree and meet the minimum school grades, also feel like I answered quite well on the questions and have a few hours of flying experience in light aircraft but sadly no reply.

Overall I feel my application was OK but haven't heard anything back yet, is anyone else in a similar position?

Starting to think I didn't make the grade.

Gordonquinn im in exactly the same boat as you in every way. Degree, have 7hrs flying experience, and thought my application and experience was good.

Still not heard anything but CTC did put on their facebook on the 28th of Dec that they were still working through invitations. So lets keep the faith

Hmmmm thats more than last year. I thought it would have been less since the application window was open till the very last date, unlike last year where they closed it early. I wonder how many applicants end up at the final stage.. hmmm

I presume that after having sat the OAA Day 1 assessment back in early December, and having heard nothing since, I haven't made it through the next stage. Its now nearly 6pm on Friday evening and assuming they shut for the weekend I guess if they wanted me they would have to give you more notice than a week (which is what it will be on Monday for the 14/15th Jan Day 2)

Interesting debate on competition vs collaboration. My feeling is that BA is looking for people that will point a potential future colleague in the right direction, rather than standing back. I think these traits will become obvious in the personality test, groups exercises and interviews.

Seems some of the people that are against helping got to differing points of selection last year, so absolutely have an advantage knowing the type of tests and questions against us virgins!

Don't give up on OAA yet there are still dates online into the week commencing 21st.. I don't think they told the highest scoring guys and girls first either, I suspect they want some diversity of scores across each day..

As always .. good luck to all. We are all in this together!

From what I recall CTC said this is for 72 places but do not quote me on that!
