Hi guys,
I am a Jet2.com employee and know personally about some of the people on the scheme.
All I can say is that you should all keep checking on the website as there are going to be many 'waves' of the pilot apprenticeship positions.
Someone in the thread has asked if they are going to sponsor medical. The entry requirements understand that you must hold a frozen ATPL and Class 1.
All in all, if flight deck is what you want, I don't see a better opportunity than this to start your career. Jet2.com treats her pilots very well.
Regards,

Magicmick, thanks for your response. I suspect that is the reason I am unable to do the tests. When I checked there was only one active link and the other was not.
Am I right that Jet2 actually invite you to complete the online tests via e-mail right?

No email was sent to me, you just go into the assessments section of the candidate portal and do the tests. I think the link for the second set of tests only becomes live when you have done the first (I think numerical is the first one).

As with contacttower I did not receive any formal invite to sit the online assessments, I just logged into my recruitment account and looked in the assessments section and the links were there.
Thinking back through the fog of time to when I was not allowed to sit the online assessment I remeber that there was one link visible but when I clicked on the link and tried to start the assessment the window immediately closed and I had a message stating that I had completed all the required assessments.
That was when confusion got a hold of me and I emailed Jet2 recruitment for some advice.

Contact Tower is correct. After completing Numerical managerial test, the link to the verbal reasoning tests becomes ' clickable. '
Has anyone who applied to the more recent advertisement for the post been called yet?
Good luck to all.

But did they contact anybody? I've also applied last year and got an email after my email to jet2 that 'sorry the application process is over' . I sent my application on the first day, when the offer appeared.
They even did not take me into consideration ...

Hi guys,
This is just to notify you my experience with jet2.com till now.
I have started applying on the website since 2010. That time I was not rated on Boeing. Never received a confirmation nor any link.
By the time I got experience with another airline. This autumn I applied through a broker to join jet2 being already rated and experienced.
They wanna see you in person once you go to the assessment day and they decide if you will be good to be progressed to the sim check. All the tests are an excusant to cut you off should they you not good to be progressed to the sim.
About online tests.. i was told you can have till 4 attempts to pass them. everyone knows that they are tricky. Even buying some material from latest pilot job (not really the exact material perhaps) I got practise with both NRT and VRT bought from test preparation jet2 is using from psl, kenexa etc and I saw that nrt and vrt are very similar. The problem is the lack of time during the exam.
I tried the first attempt but i was notified i failed and i was given a second chance. It s strange how jet2 team works.. because during the second chance i did not calculate anything nor read the question of nrt. I just answered by chance and i was notified i passed the test. So??? They are doing assessment in leeds for both rated and non rated pilots. On February 26th there was one and the other will be on tomorrow 12th and i think there will be another assessment day by the end of the month. They wanna see your attitude and if u re shy and how u behave in front of some situations. Should not they retain you to meet those requirements they will use the excusant.. we are sorry but you did not reach the high score during the test. I saw also that pilots already rated were not progressed to the sim only because the did not speak english very well. Perhaps only jet2 is using those kind of tests.
I have many colleagues working for other companies like etihad, emirates, qatar, flydubai etc but they have never seen tests like jet2 is using.
In 2010 i tried also to apply as flight attentand with them. The math test was simple, just some equations and simpe calculations, the vrt was quite similar as for pilots.
I m sorry that nowadays there is all of this silly recruitment process from some companies. Noone is perfect an even for companies with high standard may happen an error. I would most prefer to cut those test and go straight there for the interview an sim check to show the real skills a pilot has to show for this job. I m not a manager nor a doctor and is bad to see an opportunity to fly on b737 to be cut by tests with no any connection with aviation. I now many guys get demotivated and sad by doing those test of course. Aviation is changed.. no wonder should I see some captains of jet2 doing those tests....
Good luck guys

I completed the online tests and had a telephone interview 2 days later. Heard nothing since so I assume that I didn't make the grade.

Can you guys share when you did the tests?
I submitted my application on 19th Feb, having started it a few days earlier and did the tests on the 22nd or 23rd Feb. Never heard anything...I suspect although the website still allowed me to submit I was too late to be considered for this round?
I just wonder what is going on at Jet2, do you think they have changed their plans?

Jet 2 Pilot Apprentice
Respect to the last two posters, but this topic / thread is about the Pilot Apprentice scheme.
My guess and it's just that, is they will be extremely busy and possibly not reviewed applications for the latest recruitment drive for the Pilot Apprentice positions.
Happy to be corrected and good luck to all still waiting in hope!

I applied and completed the online tests around 11th February. I was also told that I would be notified within a week if I was to be invited to the assessment day. My application is still showing as under review on my account but I would think the latest posts will be filled by now?
