The issues have been sorted now, so all good! Yes, I believe quite a lot of people have progressed to the Video Interview Stage now. For context, I completed SJT 22/02/2025, completed Maths 23/03/2025 and completed Detail Checking 25/05/2025. Received the email saying I had passed the online assessments and have been progressed to the Video Interview Stage on the 28/05/2025. Hope this helps anyone who applied around a similar time for the timeline, but again we do not really know how they are working through the applications. Do not assume it is a rejection until it is truly a rejection. Good luck to everyone who has applied!

Received invite to PA assessment (Digital Interview they seem to call it), around 2 days after sitting the Checking test. Completed Checking in the evening of the 25th, and received the invite to Digital Interview (PA) on the morning of the 28th.

How many applicants will progress through to the next round and so forth? From the 3 initial SJT, Maths, and Checking test to the Communication activity, then on to the in-person interview. I would say at least 2000 per stage of the application progress

Totally pondering at this point (evidently the nerves are eating away at me), but I am wondering if there are there folk who have had PA invites this year, that were successful in the PA task last year? Just speculating as I have noticed that most of the accounts that have had PA invites this year thus far, are new, or did not comment on the 2024 SPA thread.

I know it is far from guaranteed, but I feel I did perfectly fine in the tests, and have not yet received a PA invite despite getting to the penultimate stage last year.

Just curiosity getting the better of me! If you were successful in the PA exercise last year, and have been invited to sit it this year, please do let me know.

Cheers everyone! Happy waiting

I've just received an invite to the PA assessment after completing my detail checking on the 21st, so those still waiting may still be in luck.

I passed the PA last time and was rejected after the next round of online testing for Skyborne. I received the PA about 3 days after my checking test and completed it on the 19th of Feb. I've not heard anything since completing it but that seems to be the case with everyone that's done it. I wouldn't worry unless you've actually heard back we've no idea how many people they've got to get through yet.

Successful in the PA stage last year, and made it to the final stage. I've had the PA invite again this year and completed it just last week.

Got invited to PA this morning after completing detail checking test on the 21st. I was a bit confused above as there was mention of a Video Interview stage, which I thought was later on in the process, but that's what they're calling the PA activity for anyone wondering.
