Hi I'd love to be on this groupchat as I feel it would be very helpful but only just found this forum through this chat, is there anyway you can private message me so I can send you my number?

Yeah seems as though its the half of the testing that I thought might take place in person.
I assume Skyborne will also have a similar day and the roles will swap.
Awaiting a date - will need to book a day off!

I thought there would have been an interview, maybe that's just the final stage. Frantically checking my shifts now

Everybody who's asking about the order of assessment stages it was fairly clear in the application stage and now in the flight school emails.
Skyborne: - Online Assesments First, if Successful then in person interviews/group assessments at Waterside.
FTE Jerez: - In person interviews/group assessments at Waterside first, if successful then online assessments.
After both stages of flight school assessments, if successful, you'll be invited to the final stage which is the BA in person assessment/interviews at Waterside.
At least that was my interpretation of the info available.

I believe the FTE interview to be remote. So if we are successful at Waterside, we will be sent a further invite for the online assessments and interview. I'm near sure I read that on last year's Speedbird Academy thread.

Hi guys
Just found now this opportunity, will definitely apply in the future but since Brexit I am bit confused about the work visas and so, being Portuguese and never worked/studied in the UK can I apply to this program?

Booked test day for FTE. The email said there would be some information on what to expect and what to bring, however I can only see travel instructions. Am I missing anything obvious or is it not there?

Has anyone done the Skyborne assessments yet? I did them all in one go and now I'm doubting how I did and wishing I had prepared some more! How are they weighted and how much is the pool slimmed down with this round of assessments?
