Can anyone advise as to whether or not they require the 'ZUP' application or 'Background Check' at this initial application stage? Are these things they would require further down the line like when invited to Hamburg to do interviews / assessments?

All companies want it at some point to issue or ask local authority to issue the Airport badge. I had an assesment which I passed but they only asked the backround check before Type rating.

Many thanks for the response. Makes sense as it would take a while to get it sorted for this initial part of the application. I've sent the recruitment people a query on this so I will let you know what they say when I hear back.

Hello! I apply for DHL-EAT and I received a list of downloadable documents which I don't get what could be this file: EAQConnect Test System. If we are successful will they send us some pre-selections test online?
Thanks so much for the reply, and good luck to those who are applying!

Hello
How did you received them exactly ? by email? As far as I know they are already available after application on Career aero in Downloadable section.

Hello,
Anyone heard back from DHL or an received invitation to BQ, sim or CQ?

I think that EQconnect replaces old BQ test which was held in Hamburg. That password in the file is just an example and you will receive own username and password if you have been selected into selection process. They will contact you if that happens. Best of luck!
I have passed BQ and sim test already and i ws waiting an invitation for CQ test. I am hoping that i can continue my selection process further in this new search.

It seems like It is a method of testing from distance for people who cannot travel to Hamburg on the available date. So its the actual test. You can probably request your login info from interpersonal once they invite you to Hamburg by saying you prefere EQConnect method.

Thank you so much all and Scandi Pilot / papalovesjumbo for the recent update!
In particular Scandi_Pilot: Did you passed the BQ using the EQconnect or did you go in Hamburg ?

I went to Hamburg september 2019. EQconnect is post corona and probably made to decrease travelling and gatherings of large groups of people. In my BQ test there was around 25 applicants. Some experienced ones for A330 and a little more unexperienced cadets for A300. In sim test there was only 5 of us because obviously only 1 can fly at the time so that will be held just as before.

Has anyone received any news? I applied a few weeks ago but apart from getting an "application received" email that was it.

Same here Ziga. Seems like it will take a while. They must have tons of applications. Let’s hope for the best.

Hi Ziga93, I'm in the same boat. Nothing yet.

Same here, but don't hold your breath it might take a while !

Have applied, UK citizen, let's see ...

Same here, nothing for the moment. I applied 13 days ago

I first applied 5 years ago and kept my profile up to date since then😂

You should pretty soon receive fidelity card from interpersonal and by next year, an invitation to the BBQ in the back yard :)
Seriously, looking forward to have a shot on this. I already started studiying without an ivitation for BQ so imagine if I was invited.
Good luck to everyone who goes to Hamburg.

BTW What do you guys make of the news about new austrian DHL ? Heard they are moving +20 757s in Austrian registeration I hope UK crews arent layed off for this.
