I am currently in the process of moving to Canada with my Girlfriend, and I have been invited to an assessment day. Money is extremely tight as I am putting every penny towards our move in September/October.
£300 is obviously a large price to pay, but possibly worth it if it is one last shot at chasing my dream. Does anyone know the realistic odds of being successful?

Yes it is a huge expense to pay out, especially for the first day of Assessment.
I'm aware of your situation but of course it is worth it! Never let your dream aspiration be put off by anything at all.
Every candidate has one opportunity of getting into the next stage of Assessment.
If you consider attending the Assessment day, you must give it 110%! After all, this is your dream career!
It is entirely up to you!
If you decide to go ahead with the assessment day, I wish you all the best! If for any reason you become unsuccessful, please don't let this prevent you from applying again to this particular FTO (Flight Training Organisation) or any other.
To answer your question in what are the odds of being successful. There are no odds, you shouldn't look at it like that way. You should look at it, in a more positive outlook.
I highly recommend you attending the assessment day!
All the best to ya!

Some more clarity.
Security Bond Repayment: Not as good as it seems on paper.This is not paid on top of your salary, so year 2 in EJ for example (in the UK) you’re looking at around £40k/41k; and so the security bond will be repaid at £12k per year. Therefore, your £40k salary will drop to £28k and the security bond will top this up to the £40k. The slight advantage here is that the £12k is tax free, so instead of the tax free allowance of £11k, your tax free allowance would be around £23k.
Employment: If you get a UK base then you go on a CTC flexicrew contract for up to 3 years with the opportunity to become employed by EJ permanently. If you get a European base you become employed by EJ immediately…but you don’t get your security bond back. However, the salary is slightly higher (in most EU bases) and you get all of the employee benefits from the start.

It may take up to three weeks for the selection team to screen every candidate.
You should wait patiently prior to a notification Email if successful through screening stage.
Only a minority of candidates have received an email in regards to booking an assessment day. There is only a few dates to choose from which currently run within the first two weeks of June.
There will be more dates to follow.
Again be patient, and good luck!

For anyone that is interested, I sent my application off on the 12th May and received my offer for the selection day today (18th). And I had said I couldn't start until 1/7/2016.
But completely agree, be patient, if they had decided it wasn't for you, you would know by now! Good Luck everyone, see you at Dibden Manor!

Hi All!
I couldn't find any decent answer from the EasyJet Web FAQ + information.
Regarding:
Co-Pilot:_ Non Type Rated
does someone know if :
1_you have to pay upfront the TR training and sign for a x years bond .
2_ you sign immediately a bond covering the TR without paying when you start the training
3_ you have to pay upfront the TR training and there's no bond.
Thank you!
Regards.

Hi,
I also have been invited to assessment. However, something is bothering me about the MPL scheme.
Has anybody had any deeper insight into the training loans that EasyJet are willing to underwrite?
Does this mean that you apply to the bank for X amount, EasyJet act as your guarantor and subject to a credit check you get the money?
I understand it is a complicated issue to resolve on a forum. The reason I ask is because there is no way my family or I could guarantee the £109k required for the MPL. Im trying to save every penny towards training modular and I would be uneasy about spending money on travel, accommodation and assessment only to find out I can't actually afford it in the end.
I'm not looking for anyone to make the decision for me, I'm just fishing for more info.
Thanks.

Hi GE115b,
easyJet were underwriters for my type rating costs. Once you've got the confirmation email from easyJet about what amount of the loan they'll underwrite for you (as there are a few different offers for the MPL scheme I believe) then BBVA will get in touch and you get the loan through them.
I think in the application you send to them you have to send a credit report from Experian and then maybe they use that somehow to determine affordability. Not exactly sure on the finer details to be honest. But your parents/friends/family credit doesn't come into it if easyJet are underwriting it.
Hope that helps a bit. Maybe others can shed more light.

Hello all,
Anyone know if it's worth applying if you haven't technically got 2 A-Levels at grade C or above BUT you have equivalent / about to graduate with a degree? I ask because I get the impression they will filter out applications before reading them!
Cheers
