Not surprised, just curious as to see if many women have applied that's all

[EZY_FR]

Good luck to all those doing their assessments this week! I've personally got mine tomorrow and I can't really help the nerves! :/ I know we can all do it!

EZY_FR, good luck with your assessment. It's important to believe that you can do it. Have faith!

[EZY_FR]

Thanks. Without giving anything away, I am feeling 50:50 about how I did today. I can also confirm that the scheme will grant you an ATPL license, not the MPL as they originally intended.

[Glida]

so how did it go for you then Ezy?

[EZY_FR]

Without giving anything away, I feel OK with all the tests bar one. I , like everyone else here, am desperate to find out how I've done.

[EZY_FR]

For those that have sat the assessment so far, were you guys told what the situation was regarding thresholds for each test? I was told at my assessment day that they look at the big picture, rather than just simply rejecting you because you failed one of the tests. I sincerely hope this is the case as I don't feel comfortable with my efforts in the Numerical Reasoning paper .

Hi Ezy_fr, I was under the same impression from my assessment day. I felt the same way about the interview but I was reassured that they would look at the overall picture in their decisions

[LostInFlight88]

I didnt feel confident about my interview... I don't think I've ever used the word 'um' so much in a short space of time.

For all us aspiring pilots, remember that what ever the outcome is (good or bad); this is a huge learning curve. You may not even realise it. Gaining experience in these assessments will help you dramatically in getting a little bit closer to your dream, and if you really really want it; you WILL find a way to get there in the end. For some it will take longer than others but it is possible. Never get disheartened with the knock-backs. Good luck to everyone.

Ezy_Fr what do you think happened? Not just post exam anxiety no?

All done and dusted now, assessments have now concluded - how did everyone get on?

[EZY_FR]

I think I've flunked the numerical reasoning paper, which is annoying as I feel really confident about my performance in the other tests (okay, maybe not the interview, but that's hard to tell a lot of the time).

The same as FR. Tests were difficult I thought (Maths + physics and numerical). Interview also. Although most of us on my day had regrets about the interview. 16 per day times 10 days, 160 through to this stage. Interviewers were great though! Groupwork, well you never know.

Hoping next week will be the week. Fingers crossed. Everyone on my day were sound! Good luck everyone!

sponsorship details.

Whilst at the assessments, the one thing i did notice was that no one seemed to know the excact details surrounding the sponsorship? Did anyone find any information regarding this?

[Speed_Alive_V1]

100% EI funded with a small allowance while in Jerez

[Cessnaflyer87]

Thanks, but do you know Terms and conditions of employment? tenure of mandated contract? Remuneration etc?

Thanks,

[Speed_Alive_V1]

I doubt we would get those kinds of specifics until training bonds were being prepared to be signed.

[EZY_FR]

To anyone who went through the process last year, how long did you have to wait before you heard the outcome of your assessment?

[Speed_Alive_V1]

I had a look back through emails there - the final days of assessments last year was Friday 24th Oct

We received an invitation email then on the following Friday evening the 31st, so it was one week last year.

But who knows!

[Speed_Alive_V1]

Email invitations to next round currently being sent....

Best of luck!
