Hi, FTE assesments consists of maths/physics tests, computer pilot aptitude test, group and individual interviews. I would delay going there for a while unless you are eager to spend an extra couple of months to complete your training (manteinance issues, whole weeks without flying, flight programme with short notice -a day if you are lucky enough-).
On the other hand, lodging cost is around £1500/month for a ten square metres room with full board of chicken and rice. I finished there a few months back, feel free to ask.

I did not do my training in Bartolini, but they are perceived as one of the best training organizations in Poland (both by foreginers and by local guys).
They have a lot of planes, good instructors and good level of training.

First time I've heard any serious complaints about the quality of tuition at FTE, plus your address being so close to Skybourne raises an eyebrow. Their maintenance is all in house and they have a large enough fleet to surely have no issues.
Also, where are you getting the £1,500 a month charge from? They clearly state if there's a delay in your training they'll keep you at no additional cost.

Your addres being so close to Limerick raises an eyebrow, maybe you are certain FTE employee... What I said is you'll be luck if you finish the training two/three months later than promised it. I pointed out maintenance issues because barely 4 planes, at my time there, comply with IF flight requirements the rest of the fleet was aproved for visual flight (the reason given was they were short on avionics technicians. Another matter was the lack of FI after fourloghed a bunch of them, which caused delays. Overall, I am pretty happy about the quality of the tuition received, different thoughts came to my mind for the management.
The £1,500 a month charge comes from the housing contract you signed there. They keep you at no additional cost unless there is a corona outbreak, in that case they will. Bear in mind that every week you are not fit for finding a job cost you the scarce ones you could find.
