TUI MPL Cadet Programme Jan 2024

[SP747]

Hello Aviators!
I am starting this thread if anyone has gone through the TUI MPL sponsored route before. Looking for advise on:
1. Online tests and assessments.
2. One Way Digital Interview-- What kind of questions etc.
3. Assessment Day at TUI Training Centre - what kind of assessments?
4. Flying Test in a Simulator - what to expect?

I am PPL holder with around 200 hours in SEP.

Please comments and advise.

If anyone has any info on past experiences, that would be great

Start date is looking at Sept 2024

Dates for application is between the 2nd January 2024 and will close on 31st January 2024

It seems like applications will open on the 8th … second go at it nothing to lose

I was hoping to apply this year but from the FAQ it seems they've updated the requirements to max 100 flying hours

[Poolepilot]

Whilst they're not discouraging PPLs, they're keen on getting everyone to MPL standard. Any additional ratings or too much experience would not be ideal for MPL.

[icedchailatte]

they’ve updated the minimum requirement to a grade 6/B for gcse maths.
It seems as though the requirements are more strict this year.

Does anyone know, based on last year, the length of time between submitting an online application and being invited to stage 2 online tests? Is it quite a quick turnaround?

Hi - the tests came back through almost immediately last time. Maybe a day later and you had 5 days to complete.

[icedchailatte]

Same for me. I got through to the digital interview fairly quickly too even though i scored below average all around as i was doing the assessments from my bed 🤣💀. I think this year it’ll be much harsher to get through to that stage.

I keep checking their website, but it looks like the application is still not open.

[icedchailatte]

I saw a post saying it should’ve opened at 9am. I think it’s crashed.

[joey7415963]

Thought it was just me, still waiting for it to open here too!

[TrackingFlights]

The wording on the page has updated, but the job advert isn't live on their jobs page I don't think. There are probably some hardworking and nervous IT people trying to get it up and ensure the load balancing is working fine!

[Airplane987]

Website completely down for me now.

[krlply]

Me too, hopefully they've taken it offline so they can publish changes

[icedchailatte]

Is it still 30 spaces this year? that hasn’t been specified..

I don't see them doing bigger class sizes if this is a yearly thing.

Anyone actually managed to find the vacancy or start an application yet?

Not yet, I keep seeing the page change and update so they're likely working hard to get it up!

[OpticFS]

Sounds the same for everyone with the page updating and crashing hopefully it's up today but i assume they'll have a similar problem to the BA one a few months back where everyone is trying to do assesments instantly causing it to be slow
