Aer Lingus cadet program 2013
Hanger, it was a very good post and it appears to have put things into perspective for people. Good luck everyone, I learnt very quickly that tenacity and determination is key.

I have zero experience but it's not a requirement and several of the last batch of cadets had none either. Too late to worry about any of that now, only the HR department knows what they're looking for this time!

Could anyone who did the CTC wings assessment tell me how much harder/easier it is in comparison to the online assessments for the Aer Lingus programme.
I have an assessment booked for next week and would be good to get an idea on the difficulty/differences in their test.
Thanks
Apologies for the 'wannabe' like question

Ah okay brilliant thats very useful for me thank you.
The only other concern i have is when completing the maths section on the assessments, i never know whether i should be converting everything into standard base unit e.g convert S=D/T questions into meters per second/ seconds/ meters.
Help!

The CTC aptitude test is much easier than the Aer Lingus one, it is more games than the Aer Lingus one which is mainly questions. Also I would imagine the passing standard is much lower. I had a nightmare on the first test (keeping the crosshair centred) think my highest score was 3/10 on it and passed because I did ok on the other tests.
On my assessment day I think 3 out of the 7 of us passed the assessments, but the ones who failed didn't sound like they did any preparation.
Edit: If you read the CTC Wings thread there are some posts that tell you exactly what to expect including the games that will come up.

(apologies to all about clogging up the feed with irrelevant topics) 
Okay thanks nabanoba thats very useful. I'm being assessed under the Air Qatar Cadet scheme, however I'm assuming the test will be fairly similar, if not the same to the standard entry process.
So long as they don't ask me to slalom through a tunnel with moving obstacles and a wireless mouse whilst my dog sniffs my leg (dam hounds)
