Haven't applied just yet, just fixing up my CV. But I'd say you can expect it to be similar enough to last years application

Provided your results meet their standards, you won’t have to repeat the official ATPL exams, but you will still need to complete all the ground school and sit all the internal exams and whatever progress tests they may have

Applocation

I have applied but it's not done direct to Aer Lingus, it's done through NOBOX who I guess are a recruitment company for them. I put mine in the other day but I bet they have alot to go through so won't be expecting anything back for the next few weeks.

I am British with a British Passport, and can live/work in Ireland but not the EU (brexit). Can I still apply?

Yep, there was plenty of candidates from the UK last year. As long as you can live and work in Ireland you’re grand. That’s why in the FAQ it’s down as EU/Ireland😉

Hi guys,

I just got the email to do the online test (72h).

Online Assessment

Hello guys,

I’ve been invited at the online assessment with Aer Lingus and got 72H to complete. I was just wondering how hard it is to pass it since I’ve heard that some people got rejected even doing a great job with online tests. I don’t know why and seems a bit strange to me since I’m preparing really hard to this assessment. Any insights about it? Hope they were all fake news! Good luck to everyone.

Any insight about it? Was it hard? What’s the pass rate?

[CrisP95]
