Still haven’t received an answer for stage 1, but I believe that they aren’t in any rush as the course is not due to start before the end of 2018

Does anyone know if there is a bond with the airline after the training and how many years if there is. Much appreciated.

Hi Jake,

I’ve asked this question to L3 a while ago and to quote their answer : « In regards to Qatar Airways, there is not a specific bond with Qatar Airways but they would only select candidates to begin the training who are looking to spend a minimum of 5 years employment with the Airline. »

So in other words, the bond is 5 years :D Thats a very long time..

How long since your application?

hii..
even i have applied for the same on nov 4th and there is no reply yet..
are there any updates you got?

got through Phase 1 but have to wait for phase 2 when QATAR MPL re-opens.
if anyone has applied or got through just email me.

hello, I assume phase 1 is L3 application screening, when did you apply for the same ?

Hello guys! I've been looking into Qatar airways as a flying career and was wondering where I can apply for the cadet pilot program. Am I right to say its L3? Am fully prepared to fly to the UK for the interviews but I would like to know if Qatar is still hiring at the moment because I am desperate to fly.

The program is closed this year and will open again next year

When did you apply?

I talked to them and they said they don’t know when it’s opening again, who told you it’s only opening next year?

As i passed the first stage, i talked to them as well and they told me you can come to the selection when it open next year. May be it won’t open but they said that.

You mean they are only opening in 2019?

Yeah. And might not open in 2019 they still don’t know yet.

I applied during September but due to age criteria i had to wait till November (27) to turn 18 and they selected me within a week. :)

Course Dates
 

Just for some information for those applying:

- they may take a very long time to reply to your initial application but after this the next steps dont take too long.

- Do not expect to start soon, this year is full of courses starting with apllicants from 2016 so i would immagine 2017 and 2018 apllicants will take up the next couple of years, maybe why they have closed it for now

My friend passed the assessment in July 2017 and he is going to start next April! Yeah it takes a long time to start your training after being accepted but not 2 years

If you mean by 2016 applicants those who started their application in 2016 then you are right. I thought you mean that they passed everything from 2016. However, still a very long and boring process

Would there be any complexities if you chose to come back and work in the UK after the initial bond was over ? Given the licence is a QCAA and ATPLs will be expired ?
