IVY4U:

I already have a sponsor(no ties)

as 4 ur training, well its all gud and u've got 2 do wat u gotta do, but believe me when i say that even if u join virgin as an experienced pilot, u still must go thru our own training and u must pass it inorder to be taken. though having experience stands u in good stead.

if u need anymore insight, dont hesitate 2 holla.

@ tipsydude

Thank you so much for the information you gave about the IT Skills test. I did the test 2nd of August, 2008 & I'm grateful to God for granting me success. I'm expecting a call from them soon for the interview & i know the interview tips you gave would also be useful.
Keep up the Good work. I deduce from your postings that you finally got the job with VNA, with the whole recruitment process that was like a dream according to you. I'm Happy for you; Just give & be your best & the best in VNA would be yours.

Best Regards.

Guy i have a degree in guidance and counselling and preparing for certifications in project management and personel management,what are my chances?

hi tipsydude!! cana female with OND apply as well, dont worry about the qualification but the experience am sure will make do. I ernestly await ur reply.

@tipsydude,

"No ties" implies that am not oblige to work for my sponsors. I can work anywhere with any airline.
I really dont know if i can link both and how, the VN cadet stuff and my training, but i have to do my training as i have paid all fees.
Lol, i definately need an insight or more. Will be glad if you can help.

Thanks all the same for the information.

sorry bro,i guess the guy thing didnt go well with you, how do i package my cv?thank you

@tipsydude,
thanks for all your reply, please you asked me to contact you yesterday and when I did, you didnt respond I guess you must have gone ofline by then, so please can you buzz me now on chedegirl@yahoo.com, so we can chat
Thanks and may the Good Lord bless you.

@Tipsydude, so, the requirements mentin that a private license is okay to join the cadet program, and in reply to IVY, you said that even if you come in as an experienced pilot, you will still be retrained by virgin. My question is this, so if i have a private licence, and go in the Cadet program, I could get the CPL from there??

@ tipsydude

First of all thanks for the heads up, I/we really really appreciate it, good looking out. I applied earlier on in July, never got a response and when I made some inquiries what I got left me puzzled. So now you being an insider, I've got a couple of questions to ask you but I don't want to risk sending this thread in another direction. Is there an email addy for me to hit you up on? I'd really appreciate it

Cheers.

@ tipsydude
Pls i would like to work as a cabin crew member (air hostess). What are my chances?

@tipsy dude

You've been quite a wonderful resource for information on VNA Recruitment. Kudos for the pro bono work. I applied for the Pilot Cadet programme in July, did an Aptitude Test in September, got a positive reply same day, and then a 'Prepare for the Next Stage (Psychometric Assessment) Email' about 2 weeks ago. You can be sure I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My questions are:

'How many more stages are there in the process?'
'Any figures on the number of cadets to be admitted in this batch?'
'Any idea when VNA plans to conclude this process?'

This could really help in making plans, keeping myself prepared & being available in Lagos.

You can reach me at codeweavernaija@gmail.com.

For everyone interested in Virgin Nigeria, my experience with the recruitment process so far has been encouraging & I commend VNA for their transparency. 'I no get person on the inside', so I'm happy to have gone this far. The closest to 'inside information' has come from NAIRALAND!!!

Cheers & keep up the good work
