hi again..
apart from the more obvious questions such as: where have you shown good organisational skills.. and others related to the seven competences..
what other more unusual questions could be asked?
do they ask questions in relation to topical current affairs?
questions about aviation and in particular air corp planes and aviation? do you have to have a very good knowledge of air corp history and current planes? if anyone can help and post a list of all questions that are asked both usual and unusual! send me a PM..sėl vous plait!

hello again.. do the subjects you take in the leaving cert
eg: physics, maths at higher level..etc give you an advantage when going for a cadetship because i read in the Irish indo " applicants with science subjects will have an edge when applying for cadetships to the air corp..." i always presumed they used the aptitude tests to asses how smart you are in different areas?
and also on the application form where it says to state your results abtained in leaving cert..if you havent it done yet. do you go back as far as junior cert? or what education results do you submit?
cheers..

thanks for the good info and sound advice..
for the physical testing are there other tasks ( than those listed in the information booklet) to look out for?

and..Are the dates for the order of selection you posted pretty loose or do thay happen in defined months? when would the final interview take place? are there open days in baldonnel for the public or is there any way of being allowed to have a look around without having to scale the fence! '>

thanks guinness,
is flying experience a big plus when applying? and..will the results of your aptitude test be one of the most important things they look for (ie: to see if you have the technical aptitude to learn how to fly) and.. In what order and where do the stages of selection take place ie:physical testing..aptitude..interviews..etc. and finally..(for now!) do they look for references from schools/ places of work and do general background checks to see if your an honest young bloke!!?  '>

hey,
      just logged on for the first time. I`ve loads of Questions on a cadetship in the aircorp. thought this might be a good place to ask. Im an undergraduate but im not applying until 2005 (have to finish school first) i know how hard it is to be selected, so i thought i might as well prepare early to give myself the best chance. what skills (first aid, gaisce award..etc) are an advantage to have when applying for a cadetship? do they look for other skills or courses completed apart form flying experience over others?
thanks
