I haven't applied to EZY since they've not been particularly clear about their loan guarantee options and I resent the fact that they make you pay for the assessment. Been there done that with a different programme and didn't think it was great value for money, though each to their own.
However, having been to Dibden there are probably a couple of things I can mention.
Getting there is a pain, I stayed at a local B&B which I would recommend but bear in mind that a taxi to Southampton Central station is about £25. There is apparently a ferry that takes you right to the middle of Southampton but I didn't use it since it was dark and I was knackered, just wanted to get home.
I passed everything except one of the two the group exercises. I tried to involve someone else in the group who was a bit quiet but it looked like I was trying to put them on the spot. So play it cautious and don't try too hard, you'll likely also have more than one wanting to be the time-keeper.
Maths I straightforward so long as you revise your pen and paper arithmetic for half-an-hour per day, you should all aim for 15/15 on this one.
Aptitude tests will vary from person to person but bear in mind they are looking at how quickly you can learn. Aim to improve your score on each of the three attempts.
The interview I didn't find too bad, though it seemed like those with quite a bit of life/work experience would find it easier than those straight out of school. Not too bad compared to final-stage interviews in the train driving world, trust me, those are hard!

You only harm yourseld by giving details, silly to. And people really shouldn't be asking for them.
On another note. What are peoples views regarding choosing CAE or CTC for this?

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and was just wondering if anybody else is around for the phase 2 application day on October the sixth at 12:00?
As a local to the area, 3 minutes drive, if anyone has any travel queries or would like a lift from the Hythe ferry terminal feel free to message or e-mail me.
The selection process, as far as I can tell, is compromised of aptitude tests at phase two, followed by both the group and 1 to 1 interview on another date after this. I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this, as have seen lots of different ideas around the order CTC conduct there selection process on the internet.
Good luck to you all.
Good luck to everyone

Bases are decided towards the end of the course and CTC / Easyjet have said that this could be anywhere in Europe, not just the UK. I don't know about CAE but I would imagine it'll be the same.

CTC used to be UK bases only because of the contract payments. Now they've changed the set up so can base you anywhere.
Your ground school results will have nothing to do with it. I know at CAE they use a "randomiser" to pick who is going where.

The randomiser will work as follows:
Those who are from Edinburgh will be placed in Hamburg. Those from Hamburg will be placed in Edinburgh whilst Londoners will be placed in Lisbon and people from Lisbon will be based in London.
They care not a jot. You'll be stranded there for some time. Still wanna lay £100k for this?

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum but have been following this thread.
I'm invited for a stage 2 assessment in Oxford next week (at CAE).
I have a question regarding stage 3, as I read :
Successful candidates who reach the required EasyJet standard will be notified by email and invited to attend Stage 3, the final Stage of this process. This assessment will be conducted jointly by CAE Oxford Aviation Academy and easyJet during October, November and December 2016.
My question is the following, do they usually wait to have interviewed all the candidates and give a grouped answer at the end (in December), or do they progressively inform the candidates a few days after their interview ?
I have this question because I have different projects in parallel, and it's always better to know sooner
Thanks if someone has an answer / a clue.

Twtiger, last time I saw dates released was Monday just gone (19/09). I managed to book the date available so I'll be attending Phase 3 on 27th October. You definitely have to check numerous times throughout the day. Before this, the last time i know of them releasing dates was about 2 weeks before. So it could be another 2 weeks until they release more dates or it may literally just be coincidence, because they have to wait for when easyJet staff are available

I'm well into the swing revising for phase 2 which I've booked for the 14th October.
However, I'm having trouble finding details on what happens post training. I know that may sound stupid but I'm finding the information to be quite vague. Can anyone confirm that once training is complete you will be an easyJet FO with a permanent contract with no salary reduction? Also, at what point do you start getting paid by easyJet? With such a financial commitment I think its the security people need just so they know they can comfortably start making loan repayments etc etc.
If there are any previous cadets lurking round on these forums then even better!
Any feedback appreciated

I should've noted my application is through OAA.
I've read through this thread and honestly it's like a pot of gold. It's seems CTC has been the FTO that most people have gone for and there is a lot of details surrounding contracts (UK and EU bases, Flexicrew etc etc) but there seems to be a lack of information on the Oxford side as I know it does differ from CTC slightly.

hey guys and girls, can anyone give me any direction with regards assessment prep software. I will be attending the Easyjet phase 2 assessment day with OAA. i was looking on skytest.com and CAE oxford software is under Pan-Asian?!
i have previously done a aptitude test with CTC and they both seem to differ quite alot.
Before i spend money on irrelevant software!!
Cheers for any info.
