Jerez?? The same as Aer Lingus? Would both cadet programs be able to overlap?

Same here, no updates. I believe they will open at the end of the month but if I get a message beforehand then I will be sure to ping you a message and remind you

Hey all, it's me again.

Does anyone have any advice on what the maths test for the first application stage will be like? I study Maths to a high level at school but should be okay, however worried that it could be very nasty mental multiplication/division questions.

Thanks!

Most of the guidance suggests;

- Cut-e Aon assessment programme
- GCSE/BBC Bitesize level for revision

Is it me but the application form online is being very slow and laggy! Anyone else having this problem?

I’m experiencing the same thing.
i think it’s just down to the shear amount of people trying to access it.

We go again! (knocked back from Aer Lingus one)

Applied tonight, completed SJT and Numerical - assume passed both as now have 'Checking' one to do. Going to save that for when I have a fresh pair of eyes in the morning.

SJT and Numerical were fairly standard - a little challenging but nothing terrible imo.

Best of luck all!

I’m fairly sure it said they were to be completed in one sitting didn’t it? At the bottom of the page where you apply.

Once you open the individual test you can't close and reopen, but just logged back into my account and it's still there to do

Yeah I saw that, but it does specifically say they should all be done in one sitting. Just because it allows you to go back in and do it doesn’t mean that’s right. But that’s just my thoughts so doesn’t necessarily mean I’m right, just how I interpreted it.

It’s easy enough - there’s no real prep you can do for it, it’s just checking if information is factually correct or not.

Good to hear. did u manage to complete all the Maths Qs. I got rejected as I timed out. Also how was your experience? The website was slow as hell and took appx 15 seconds to load inbetween questions even though the timer was still moving
