No Rejection, No video Interview
Anyone in the same boat as me? Did the tests on Tuesday. Haven’t heard anything since, application says submitted and completed all tests ? Just thinking when to start being worried

Thats quite an assumption to make. Fortunately, when I started my career, the barrier to entry was low - set at GCSE. Had it been higher, I like would have ended up going a different route and not commanding a ship. The barrier is set low to draw talent, not necessarily because the course is easy. If you think getting a ship captains licence is a breeze, I can assure you its not!

Now that applications have closed, any thoughts on how many applications they received? It seemed to be really well publicised with even news outlets like the Evening Standard picking up on it and they published a video starring Emma Raducanu engaged in a bit of a q and a.
I wonder if they will tell people who get to later stages what the stats were!

Im surprised to say I’ve made it to video interview. I didn’t finish the maths questions so assumed I’d be out.
Whoever it is posting here about diversity is a cynic who doesn’t deserve to be in the process. I do not fit the mould of the type of person you think they’re seeking. I’m a married white guy in my late 30’s - I think the process is fair and transparent. I put effort into my 250 words talking about loving flying since I was a kid but circumstances meant it was never financially achievable. I made sure my CV & the paragraph reflected both BA values and the types of experience and qualities they’d want in an applicant.
I’ll either be successful or I won’t. If I’m not, it’ll be because I’m not good enough compared to others, not because of a quota.

Is anybody else still awaiting an update from their tests? I applied on the 19th and managed to get through to the checking test. I’ve had nothing since in terms of an invite to interview or an unsuccessful email?
I presumed they’d be going through applications in date order… However noticed a few people apply after me, but already been invited to interview.
Just wondering if anyone else is in the same position?

Hi, applied yesterday and completed the three initial exams. Just wondering when I will be notified on any further interview or assessments. Is it usually instant or does it take a few days. I completed my Maths exams and only received the checking exam an hour after completion. Any advice, help or update would be massively appreciated lol! been sat on the edge of my seat all day!
