Stay at the Park Grand Hotel. Usually around 50ish per night. Really nice hotel and its literally a 5 min walk max from the assessment centre. They do a good breakfast too.

FTE
Congrats EZY!
Is anyone going to the assessment on the 23rd (early slot)? I'll be driving up or taking the train as I'm already in London. Just spoke to an FO who trained at FTE and he assured me that is by far the best FTO. Possibly biased but it made me happy to hear that he enjoyed his time there! 😊

My commiserations to those that have been unsuccessful. Take some time to reflect on your application. Read your answers to the essay questions and think how you could improve your answers. Did you have someone else proof read your application? Usually the reason for being unsuccessful lies somewhere in the answers to your essay questions or your answers to the initial application questions.
Best of luck in the future.

I was just wondering... I am new to this forum so hey! I am looking to apply to this course and was wondering what happens if BA don't have any positions open at the end ? How do you get your security bond back? Also, i have read some posts saying that there are not many young cadets (19 and 20 year olds)... this is a bit sad to hear but what can you do... also, for those who have had offers from ctc, did you get all A's and A*'s in gcse and a level? Also, are maths and physics a level advantagous to your application? Thanks a lot you guys and i hope you can all help me
especially those with offers once again thanks a lot and a huge good luck to those with offers)

@volunteerpilot,
Just to keep things straight: You were rejected because there were too many applications, or were you rejected and they only told you now because of the number of applications? (I know its a 99% chance it is the latter option, but as someone who is waiting on a reply from FTE this matters to me
)

Evening all,
I sent my application off to CTC on Friday night, heard back with the good news about 3 hours ago. Surprised at the relatively quick response considering some guys have been waiting since the first week. Good luck to all who are still waiting, can't be much longer now! Commiserations to the unsuccessful, I know I learned a lot from my rejection at FTO selection last year - stick at it, persistence is key!

I'm really sorry to hear about your news, I know exactly how that feels. Don't let it bother you though, one of the things that BA wants to see is how you come out of a situation like this. Look at your CV and the Cover Letter, is there anything you felt you could have improved on? Look at these things, as well as your answers for the multi-choice questions. Keep your chin up, the FPP will almost certainly return next year and possibly the next couple after that.

Second time lucky ???
Hey volunteerpilot,
You maybe in luck as the window for the BAFFP are still open to make another application with a different FTO. I personally thought that we weren't allowed to make another application if we received bad news, but CTC think otherwise.
This is what I came across as I read through CTC's BA FPP Q&A session.
*FB USER* - "Hello. Received a rejection letter from another FTO, can I reapply to you before tomorrow? Or is a rejection universal? Thanks."
CTC Aviation - (*FB USER*) please can you standby on this? I am awaiting confirmation from another member of our team..................
CTC Aviation "*FB USER*, I have just received confirmation that yes you are able to submit a further application, but you will need to do this ahead of the deadline tomorrow at 12:00. Emma".
Its worth a shot buddy.... all the best with your new application.

Also, 22 is not the youngest and 41 is not the oldest to have gone through. 18 and 46 seem to ring a bell as the youngest and oldest at the time of being accepted. Anyone got any advance on that?

@aviator-p, volunteerpilot.
I think CTC have made a mistake here so I would ignore them. It clearly states on BA's website that this is not possible.
"No. You must decide at which of the three FTOs you would like to undertake your training before you commence your application. We therefore recommend that you visit the websites of all three approved FTOs and study their offerings carefully. For clarity, if you are not successful in the selection process at your selected FTO, it will not be possible to apply to either of the other two FTOs in this application window."
