You've got to do the password reset, I had the same issue.
timbuck2,
Clicked the "Forgot password" link. The system sent me my details again. I logged in - then discovered it was last year's application!
Where's the password reset? Is it the same thing? Might ring CTC and see if they can reset my account. Slightly worried as next week is going to be mega-busy at work so I need to book ASAP and try and plan my days around it.

Got a rejection from CTC. Can only guess why.
Perhaps because my vocabulary, I'm Dutch and competing with born and raised English folks might a bit to much.
Good luck to everyone and don't forget to enjoy the experience!

It's just under the login box "Forgotten your Application No. or Password? then click here". I would give them a ring anyway, as things seem to be moving pretty fast with CTC!

Dale Farm
Serial lurker here. Is anyone booked to stay at Dale Farm House on Tuesday 17th? Just got off the phone with a very helpful lady who told me that a number of CTC applicants have already booked themselves in. If so, look out for a shorter chap with a northern accent...

Hi,
I replied last minute and got an invite! And i mean about 10 minutes before the second extended deadline.
So I don't believe that the timing of your application is important.
Has anyone tried ****************** to prepare? I'm thinking of signing up.
so anyone with any feedback, I'd liek to hear your thoughts!
Also I may book the 19th, has anyone else?

Question to anyone who has been to a recent OAA assessment day - Have you been told when we can expect to find out if we made it to the next round or not?
On my assessment day they just said no news is good news. No indication of when we may hear back from them.
Recently read on here that they're now telling candidates not to expect hearing anything before Xmas.
Difficult to switch off and forget about this, even though it will probably be a while before they start sending out results!

I don't see how they can respond until they've assessed everyone? At least assuming they compare everyone against everyone else when determining who to invite to the next stage. On that basis I imagine we'll not be hearing anything until at least late January.
However, perhaps they are doing it a different way? I'm sure they will know the ones they don't want long before they know the ones they do want.

Yes, assuming they can only put forward 100 and they have probably already assessed over 100 candidates, if they've ranked all candidates they've assessed so far then they should know several that won't be making it already by now. But I agree they can't tell anyone they've made it through yet till they finish assessing everyone.

They have an admin nightmare with the amount of extremely capable people who have applied who need to be sorted. I'm not expecting a reply anymore till mid January to be honest.

We were told 2 separate things. One woman said 'no news is good news and generally if you hear within a week or two it tends to mean you have nowhere near met all of the standards' and another guy said to us he couldn't give us a time but would try to let us all know ASAP and realistically not to expect a response before Christmas.

VJ, I agree it is probably very difficult for them to rank everyone. This is my first time applying but I've read on here that in previous years some candidates are still offered to join Oxford's self-funded ATPL program, so I guess they have to carefully check if everyone meets their requirements for their program before checking which candidates are the best of the best to go for BA's assessment.

Good luck!!!
I had the stage 2 interview on Tuesday, and found it to be a great day (don't know how i'll fair but huge fingers crossed!!!). I met some really great people there and it's good to see how like-minded everyone I spoke to was.
There was strong competition and everyone I met was really focused and are clearly some switched on cookies! However seemed like a fantastic bunch of guys and girls and I wish them all luck!
The day it's self was very well organised and all the assesors and staff at OAA were very helpful and put me completely at ease so hope everyone else has the same experience.
Good luck all and hope to see you on the other side!

Greetings all, newbie here. Firstly just want to say thanks to everyone who's contributed to this discussion; I did encounter submission issues like others and having read the info posted here has helped immensely. I've managed to submit my application and I've got an invitation to CTC on the 18th. Best of luck to everyone else!
@Tomahawkgirl
Great to see someone else on that day! Are you in the afternoon or morning?
