BA Speedbird program starting date
Hello everybody!
I'm now in my last semester for a Degree in Aerospace Engineering and I plan to graduate in March 2025. Is it worth to apply now on April 16th? Or should I wait for a possible turn next year?

Would it mean you possibly have to look at other options to complete the degree? Maybe. But they do exist, and if you get on the scheme you’re not using any part of your degree at any point in your working career anyway. So frankly it just doesn’t matter if you finish it or not.
Far better to decide with an offer in hand than not apply and regret it.

"I’ve completed ATPL exams, and have over 100 hours can I apply?
If you have completed any ATPL exams either EASA or CAA, you won’t be able to apply. One of our
training requirements is that you pass your ground school in the first series. If you have started your
hour building, there is currently no upper limit on hours for the scheme, but they will not be
credited."

Many last year experienced issues with very slow load times for the initial wave of tests due to the volume of applicants, and subsequently ran out of time. My guess is that they're trying to stagger the assessments to prevent another overload. Pure speculation and happy to be corrected if wrong.

Information needed for application
I’ve read the application process document on BA’s website, but for ghost of you Who’ve already applied, What is required to have ready when applying on The website? What documents? Also, any UE citizens applying? What about the right to work in the UK? I couldn’t find any useful related information about it

You should do but last time around, when we got to the first in person stage we could just upload them on to an iPad - you had to bring them in with you.
