Ahh I applied as soon as this opened and still nothing, I'm hoping that's a good sign. I'm wearing out my phone battery checking my e-mails every 5 minutes! When did you guys who have heard already send your applications in?

CTC Assessment Day
Jkelly747:
The first assessment day available is the 17th November. I spoke to CTC and they said they will be releasing a new date almost every week because of the amount of applicants. Wouldn't imagine there could be too many though because the final interview (if you pass through CTC) directly with Virgin start in January 2015.

Completed my application as soon as I heard it was open, 30th October I believe it was.

I haven't chosen one yet. Need to sort out some logistics first.
For the record- I submitted my application on 31st October and got my outcome today. So around 10 days later.

@cheerup,
How long ago did you apply?
I don't envy the poor selection team with this mountain of a task. It would seem to be they are climbing to the top it and then realise theres another mountain after that one with this weeks applicants.
I applied last Monday. Yet to hear a yay or nay. I'm praying that no news is good news.

@gbotley I applied on 31st October so it's been a wee bit of a wait. My application changed to on hold this afternoon and then to passed within an hour of that (I was checking it quite a lot!). Good luck!

How can you have a medical degree if you are only 22?...
I could be wrong and it would be useful information to know, but does a medical degree not take 5 years (at least) to complete...

Does anyone know if the 2 referees have been contacted as part of the selection process?
"Dear Baron,
Thank you for your email.
CTC Aviation will not contact any referees until an offer of training has been made.
Kind Regards
CTC Selection"

I got the no thanks email yesterday unfortunately so it wasn't meant to be this time.
I would love to have an insight with regards to what they are looking for though. I read the Virgin ethos with this scheme is that they don't look for people who have the academia of a rocket scientist and try to concentrate on people that have been getting involved in aviation all their life.
I have A Levels and a vocational diploma in airline and airport operations, a PPL and all of my jobs since leaving education have been in a handling agent across two different airports over 8 years. I'm now even at management level which shows leadership.... But I didn't get past the first phase.
I'd really love an insight so I can adapt my approach for future programmes if anyone is in the know - please feel free to PM if you can!
