Aer Lingus Future Pilot Programme 2023

Does anybody know how long it takes until we get the results of the online assessments ? After completing it ?

[Nino24]

I would guess after the 16th of August we’ll find out if we’ve moved onto the next stage or not, as applications closes on that date.

Did them this week. Probably found the verbal reasoning the most tricky due to the clock.

Some aspects were very easy due to practice.

Good luck to everyone else doing them!

Hi Alex, please could you share any information regarding what was included in the online assessment. Thanks

[SliabhLuachra]

It looks like no recorded video interview this time? At least the website says after online assessments, next stage is group assessment which is interesting. Based on that you'll probably need to score really really high in the aptitude tests to make it through (95th+ percentile) whereas before they let more through to the video interview and filtered out after that for group assessment.

Hi everyone,

how long after the cv part of the application did you get the email with the tests?.

[Straight_and_level]

About three days.

I applied on Sunday and was sent the tests on Tuesday (2 days).

I wouldn't give it too much thought, they're just doing rolling assessments so that when the deadline comes around they can immediately start scheduling for the next stage.

The longer you left it from the opening date, the higher the accumulation of applications became (ie. the waiting time relative to someone who applied Saturday/Sunday is not linear). Hope this helps?

Hi, what did the online assessments include? Thanks

Hi all,

Firstly good luck to everyone. What an amazing opportunity! I haven't got around to applying yet, but will next week. I'm just wondering if the tests are the same as previous years?

Thanks & good luck!

They are very similar to previous years.

Great news if there’s no online interviews. I find them pointless. It’s nothing like a face to face, and it’s not the best experience watching yourself talk.

Aptitude Tests

I applied, completing the form and CV on Monday via website. Since then, I have not received any link inviting me to complete the aptitude tests.

I would meet the basic requirements in terms of age, passport etc, just wondering if anyone is in the same boat?

On Monday, I also applied and received the invitation for online assessments on Tuesday.
Don't lose hope; hopefully, you'll receive yours this week.

Best of luck to all concerned, a fantastic opportunity.

Are you one of the previously successful cadets?

[Will66]

Applied today, been getting some really good experience as a TRC Flight dispatcher at my nearest airport. I think this is what I lacked with the tui program, not enough experience to prove how dedicated I said I am to the industry. Good luck to all!

If you go to the FAQ section for the program, it outlines the bond that will be in place. As expected, if you cancel employment after training with Aer Lingus, you'd be expected to pay the full course price.

I applied yesterday, have aviation experience and PPL. Haven't heard anything back yet.

[Nino24]

Today is bank holiday in Ireland, that’s why I reckon no one hasn’t received any updates. Hopefully this week we’ll find out!

[Will66]

Applied yesterday and got the tests through today, fingers crossed!

[future_pilot_di]
