somehow it unlocked itself over night. No email from cut-e though so maybe just a glitch. Anyone get an email when they finished everything to confirm? For some reason I can still log into the first assessment. Not sure why I checked again but after being locked out of it to begin with I assumed once we had completed it we would be locked out. Now I am wondering if it has logged my first attempt.

Thanks.
Yes you can as far as I am aware, while the email recommends you do it all in one sitting, each test is individual component so you should be able to log out and back in.

Completed the tests about a day ago, some of them were easier than others, some of them I feel like I completely screwed up. I felt the maths test was very easy and I finished that with loads of time to spare, then again I do study Chemistry at university and have been studying much more advanced maths for a while now. Some of the other tests were considerably harder, like the orientation one for example.
I wish the best of luck to everyone who applies, may the best get through to the next stages.

I have yet to sit the second part of the assessments however did the first ones when we got the initial email Wednesday. As reported on here people couldn't access the first assessments however i was a lucky one who sat and did that on Wednesday. When they re sent the email about the link; i questioned the email address and they said i wouldn't need to sit them as i had completed them.

Like you; i can still access the personality tests which i find weird. Should i complete them again? Or on the technical advice leave them alone?

Fluffed the monitoring ability test

Others were okay apart from verbal reasoning. Usually okay with that, will put it down to a bad day

Done. Good luck to everyone. I fluffed some of my tests. The interview, if i'm honest, i quite enjoyed.

Still letting me sit the personality test which i find very weird and not able to understand.

Finished it all now. Video interview was tough IMO

Overall...don't think I'll be through to the next round. Great learning experience though, one of the hardest assessments I've done because of the breadth of topics.

Best of luck to everyone!!

Well that's mine done! Very hard to judge how it went or how each assessment will be used. The computer games were a mixed bag, hopefully some sort of average score is used and not a pass/fail criteria for each. The video interview was weird but I imagine everyone thought that so who knows, in some ways I feel sorry for the HR team who have to sit through 100s of awkward responses.....

The personality test feels like a lottery. Maybe I'm just too cynical but ranking various vague statements and hypothetical behaviours doesn't feel like the best way to assess someones personality...

Now just the waiting game until interviews are scheduled. I imagine it will take quite a while to process it all so I don't expect any answers for a few weeks.

Completed the tests Thursday and did the interview this afternoon (interesting experience). Not amazingly happy with my English performance (worst subject at school all those years ago) but happy with the rest. No surprises on any of the tests and the maths was easier than expected. Hard to judge if i'll be going to Dublin or not so i'll just try and forget and play the waiting game. Good luck to all.

Did anyone get an email confirmation or notice a change in their application status after completing all the assessments? I've not had anything back yet, just wondered what to expect

Just done mine and im quite happy with the tasks to be honest. Nothing surprising on the spacial awareness etc tasks and the maths was easier than expected. The interview I also did enjoy though it was quite a new interesting experience for me.

May I ask what is the process for the whole recruitment scheme? Is there another round of online tests or invites to Dublin will be sent out?
Good luck to All!

I too had questioned this, so had to do some further reading. The term itself can be a little ambiguous as it can be used for both the end of a day and the start. In this situation the deadline could either be the instant we start entering the 20th or the moment it ends.

From a little further research it would seam as it's technically the start of a period but is widely used as an end. This is why many schedules use specific times such as 23:59 or 00:01; avoiding possible confusion.

Seeing what's at stake. I'd personally take the safer interpretation and ensure its done by 23:59hrs Sat 19th May.

Very interesting assessment overall, if nothing else it was a good experience. Really do hope I get called to next stage...

I found the interview and verbal reasoning the hardest out of the lot.

The personality questionaires are fairly standard things, would actually be interested to see the output.

Hey,

One quick question, anyone knows if a PPL is considered as a "completed aviation-related apprenticeship" ?

Thanks !
