I may have to contact fte on monday. Did you pay the 255 it changed to ? I could have sworn it was 240e upon applying.

I got an invite which I am happy about needless to say ! However, I have got about 2-3 days notice before assessment which is not ideal. I know other people got longer. Had to completely cancel all plans this weekend to get studying!

When you are out of college a while and no use for basic maths / physics questions, algebra, etc etc it's amazing how rusty a person becomes with the math side of the brain getting slower lol . I struggled with alot of those questions on the FTE prep sheet that was attached to the email initially, but figured them out eventually lol !! But will keep practicing others.

Anyone else on the same boat and feel as unprepared as I do with relation to numerical reasoning prep?!

I just paid the revised cost, not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

I haven't even thought about the possibility of stage 4, think I'd collapse if I were to go the whole way

I would love to see you in FTE in Jan though haha

The very best of luck to both of you, if you can believe you can do it!

All I ask is we keep the thread free from anything about the ongoing assessments to keep the entire process fair to everybody.

Absolutely agree JumpSeat_M

Such a unique opportunity has to be kept as fair and professional as possible.

How to pay

Can I ask people how they plan on paying the 25K?


Are you all sure you have 25K in cash, from a loan or will your parents give it to you?


I don't know how I will get the 25K if I make it to the end!

Indeed, in such a competitive process I can't understand why anybody would release details and ruin their own chances !

To Shamrocks question:

I'm gonna go on a hunch and say you are probably not alone with this! Lol I will be going to the bank for a loan and using my savings to make the payments for the time where I won't be earning and a buffer of 1 year. It's a bit of setup but it should work!

In fairness I am quite a young chap, early 20's. But my credit rating is top notch as I have already take out two loans in the past.

For my funding I will approach my bank and look for the full €25,000 if successful I will have to sell my pride and joy (I only have a few months) to make repayments throughout the training.

Well there was one hell of an eery silence, some guy in a suit appearing to be staring at a wall and a load of empty seats

I felt under pressure and I'm not even down to be in yet.

AucT, there's a national holiday today in Andalusia, so I think we will get them tomorrow.

Good luck to all invited!
