I attended waterside for the testing. If I get through this stage, there's, I believe, another more intense round of maths testing (ridicolous!) And then if I get through that, there's a 1-1 interview, but it's being conducted online I believe.

I don’t think there is another round of testing as per the BA website and the flight schools it’s states ‘following being successful at online testing you will be invited to a face to face interview’ passing this then leads to the final stage consisting of an assessment day run by British Airways. I haven’t heard anyone mention another round of testing. I would have thought this would have been mentioned on the teams Q&A. However, they only stated two rounds of testing in total. I might be wrong, but from what I have heard the testing stage is now done and it’s face to face interviews followed by an assessment day.

The deadline for my Skyborne assessments is tomorrow (14th) because, as was said above, there was a delay in sending out the invites for some.

I'm assuming we will likely hear Mon/Tues and interview invites likely sent out for the week commencing 23rd Oct. Probably gives them a week to review before BA sends out the assessment centre dates in November at some point.

haha…. I’m guessing tomorrow we’ll find out, we honestly need at least 2 weeks notice to boom annual leave etc.

Still no news! Really hoping we find out this week, as interviews commence next Wednesday a week from today. I hope they don’t send out invites last minute.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know the interviews start next Wednesday? And is this FTE or Skyborne or both? Thank you

I'm curious to know this too, I remember watching the video when do the video interview but it never mentioned specific dates and/or timeframes, and neither did the follow up email from Skyborne.

Personally glad that it hasn't come in quickly, managed to go on holiday for a week inbetween doing the tests and now; had something to pre-occupy my mind as I know I would go crazy. Talking

Hi all, I would recommend that you check your BA Jobs my profile webpage. I did today having not heard anything since completing the Skyborne assessments. Their was a message on the page saying... We would like to invite you to an assessment. It then gave a large list of preferred dates to select from.

As far as I could tell I didn't receive a notification via email or similar.

Invites!

Just had a congratulations email and invites to book for the Skyborne assessment at Waterside. Loads of dates available between 25t October and 9th November. Appears to be a presentation from Skyborne/BA and then a interview, no group assessments mentioned.
