Received some further feedback today from FTE after my rejection email last week. Nice touch, and an offer to discuss joining them as a whitetail cadet in 3 months time. Will have to think about it with other applications open right now too.

Got the good news this afternoon, absolutely ecstatic.

Anyone else starting 11th November?

Congratulations!

Well done!

Congratulations LandingConfig. Well deserved.

Congrats Config! I was starting to wonder what stage the remaining candidates were at, so good hearing the positive news. All the best for the course

Congratulations LandingConfig.

Assume no news today = bad news tomorrow :(

Thanks guys!

Not heard anything yet. Not expecting good news :(

Well done LandingConfig though

Ah. There we go. Unsuccessful. Still. Was my first try. Congratulations and good luck to those successful, I'll keep trying!

The program is back

FTE | Selection Process

Would thoroughly recommend applying for this one! The assessment day was free of charge last year, and very well run, and although I was not successful, I feel it prepared me well for another cadet scheme application which I was successful in.

Hi all,
Does anyone know whether FTE have any partnerships where they can help you fund your flight training? I am led to believe BBVA has stopped offering there service, and unfortunately don't have £89,000 knocking around. If anyone could help that would be great before submitting my application.
Thanks.

As far as I know. FTE themselves won't help with the funding. I wouldn't be too concerned about the BBVA thing, people I've talked to at previous schemes have been able to get loans from High Street banks (often at better rates than BBVA)

Regardless. You're not financially committed until you sign at the end, so apart from some trips to Manchester there's nothing much to lose

Hi Luke

BBVA haven't stopped yet but they have just removed details from their website. If you are in a position to be able to obtain a secured loan, get in contact with them and ask the question (if BBVA are your preferred bank).

I emailed them a couple of days ago to see if they offered any form of unsecured loan (they don't) and they replied with the marketing email essentially.

Study material for assessments
 

Hey all. Does anyone have any useful links to study material for assessments in July? Presuming we're called that is :)

I've got a link to the FTE Jerez pre-test guidance material for the written tests somewhere. I'll find it.

As for the aptitude tests. There's a few websites, but really if you've got any kind of video gaming/flying experience whatsoever you should be fine.

That's the pack they send out for everyone successful into Stage 3. Most of its GCSE level maths. I still give it a look over every time though

Thanks for sharing the link, will start reading it now!

I have just sent my essay questions off, been writing them whilst on holiday in Barcelona! Hopefully being in Spain this week I might get lucky!

Good luck everyone :)

Sent mine off today. My second attempt at this one. Got to the final 12 last time. Hopefully second time's the charm
