Hi everyone! hope everything went well for you guys! I was wondering, how many questions did you guys get through on the verbal reasoning? There were 49 questions and I got through 27... i know they say to expect to not finish them all, but still seems pretty low to me... thanks! |

Thanks.
Got it sorted and submitted at like 3am. Hope my answer made sense and I didn't look too fatigued! |

I submitted at 5.10 Irish time , would you say I'm ruled out ? Issues were due to very slow video upload speed and had emailed them before 5 to let them know I would be late, would you say I have no chance now ?! Honest answers please lol
Also the deadline for the original application went past the 4pm deadline on their website so don’t worry! Kick back the feet for the next six weeks lol |
How far did people get in "Complex Control" ? I got to about level 150. Not great but probably an average effort.

Only time will tell now. I did my best and that is all we can do. If nothing else it is good experience.
If we don't get through this time we will achieve our dreams eventually. Okay that is my positive post for the day! |

That sounds impressive! I crashed once and only managed Level 113 so 150 sounds well above average I'd say.

I made it far, but I crashed multiple times unfortunately. I reckon it's better to crash less, than cover more distance.
Best of luck everyone, the wait has officially started! |

Can somebody remind what the different stages are before the lucky few are selected.
Stage 1 was the registration Stage 2 was the online assessments & video interview. Is the Assessment Centre in Dublin next or are there other stages before and after that? |

Going by last year, the next stage is a day long assessment centre in Dublin, between the 9th - 20th September. Half the people were sent home at lunchtime and the other half (approx - varied each day) got an interview in the afternoon. About 2-3 weeks after this was the psychometric interviews followed by a Class 1 medical.
Do we have any idea approx how many people get invited to the assessment centre? Apologies if this info has already been posted. |

Good luck to all of you! :)
@Rezh12, what type of question did they ask you in the questionnaire? Did you complete the second section yet? :) Maybe you can let us all know what we have to expect! How was the video interview? Sandra OK so I've done everything last Sunday, the video interview are just normal questions that you'd get when being interviewed by any company (ie why aer lingus). With the assessment, its definitely one of the hardest entry assessments I've done (done some over the years not just for pilot positions but engineer too). And as I was writing this is just realised the deadline is now done... I'm just going to post this as it is :D Does anyone else's application still say invite to pre selection? |
Question regarding the on-the day (pre-lunch) assessments, were they identical to the ones we have completed online, right down to the personality questionnaire, or were they different?
|
When I went through the process back in 2016, I didn't have to redo the online assessments... I guess they only ask those who did really well online to redo them on the day?
Pre-lunch assessments: 1) "Panel Exercise" - not sure if they're still doing this.. you're grouped in 3s and are each given 2-3 random questions to ask/answer each other. One of my questions was about drones. You're marked by two staff members. Not sure of the point of that exercise... 2) Group Exercise - the usual. |
Hello pjharb, thank you so much! Could you give us some more details on the assessments? What follows after lunch, and also on the second day? Thanks!
|
Anyone heard back yet? |
You won’t hear anything for at least a month, most likely beginning of September. |
It'll probably be a few weeks before anyone hears anything. I'd expect no sooner than mid-August. Last year they also didn't reach out to people who weren't selected, so it's a little stressful wondering for a few days if they'll contact you or not.
But it also seemed different this year; the announcement of the program was quieter, the UI for the assessments was different (better in my opinion), so maybe they've made some changes. I'd like to think that throwing together a generic email to send out to people who didn't make it should be fairly straightforward. I imagine given the program wasn't around for a fair few years that they may be kind of relearning how to run something like this. |

Q: how many got invited for the group exercises and face to face interviews, to select 18 lucky people to train. |

A figure of 8,000 has been mentioned as the number who initially applied in the previous recruitment process. I assume not everyone was invited to participate in the on line testing & on line interview stages.

I think they are only recruiting 12 this year, not 18

Online assesment
Hey guys
I've not applied this year, as doing A levels to enable me to apply to this program ( and others). But anyhow I was wondering does anyone have any tips for the online assessments; particularly the maths assessment? What areas are covered? etc, just so that I can prepare for when the time comes and improve my maths! Dan |
Actually guys they are quite fair. If you just followed their rules in the online test you have no reason to panic. Good luck to you all .Best of wishes
|
Hi Dan,
Maths I really wouldn't worry about, it was just simple area and distance calculations, no complex formulas needed (I think you were required to calculate the volume of a cylinder and that was about the most complicated formula). I've done a few psychometric tests now and what was difficult (for myself at least) was the verbal reasoning (barely got past halfway) in comparison to previous tests. At the end of the day everyone is different, I've never really struggled with anything logical/spatial or mathematical, so know your strengths/weaknesses (and work on your weaknesses!) and you'll be better prepared IMO, Andrew |

All the best with your application. :) |
The long night (and wait) continues...
Anyone preparing in anticipation of an invite? :ugh: Cheers, JM. |
Anyone heard back from them, or know when to expect a response?
Not that I'm expecting an invite, I ballsed up the video interview and logic test. Maybe still possible if I did well in the others. |
What makes you think you "ballsed up" the interview? I am sure this is just personal perception...sure you did well.

Assume the best until the worst is confirmed everyone! It's important to stay positive, and to prepare yourself for every eventuality! If this doesn't work out, there will be another year to have a go! In the mean time just keep on flying and working towards your goal!
Just keep preparing incase you get that all important phone call! If I get the opportunity, il be as ready as I can be! "Fail to prepare, then prepare to fail" Good luck everyone, hopefully we will start to have some movement in the coming weeks! |
Would like to hear soon. |
Anyone knows if they will take in a non European passport holder? Like a Singaporean?
|
One of the requirements was to have an EU passport, so don't think they will sponsor you for this program.

It doesn’t actually say that you need an EU passport it is just that you are eligible to live and work permanently in the EU and have an up-to-date unrestricted worldwide passport.i have copied the criteria below:Essential criteria for application
*If you have resided outside the Republic of Ireland for six months or more, you will also require a current police disclosure certificate from that country/countries |

I should think UK citizens should be fine post-Brexit. The CTA preceded Ireland's joining of the EU and EI has no non-Irish bases.
