I actually just received a call with a message today about getting onto the course starting this weekend. Will be returning the call tomorrow.

Do you have any idea of when, approximately, the next BMQ course start days are in the year? It's just that this call has been really short notice and if I go through with it, I'll have to completely adjust my scheduled commitments for this weekend.

As far as I know, Oct 30 is a part-time BMQ, and the next one would be a full-time one in the summer of 2016. Then again part-time in fall of 2016. I'd get on this one, otherwise you might be in for quite a wait. But check with your recruiter to make sure. And do it fast. It's already Wednesday and course starts in two days. You'd still need to get sworn in.

Turns out I didn't make it onto the course this weekend. Hopefully I can get into the summer course or a *fingers crossed* course starting in the new year.

All the best, Gunshark! Let me know how your first week goes!

Oh I see, that's alright, gives you more time to prepare.

Thanks! Feel free to PM me with any questions. Cheers.

Application Date: October 15, 2015
First Contact: October 28, 2015
Aptitude Test: November 10, 2015 (Scheduled)

Feels like the process is going really fast for me unlike others that wait months or even years to write the CFAT, so excited! If things stay at this pace maybe I can make it to BMQ before Summer or even Spring? 

On the website non of my 3 trades have the "in demand" star or the "Now Hiring" link, but another trade that I'm also interested in (Vehicle Technician - Land) has both. If I pass the CFAT for my trades + the Vehicle Tech Land trade and any other trades, will I be notified of my options? I don't want to wait for my 3 trade choices to open if I can take another open position ASAP

Good luck everyone else!

 

[Pwegman]

Usually people don't wait for the CFAT , its more for the interview and medical exam where's the waiting period . But good thing for you if thing can move at a  good pace .
And yes if you don't have a score high enough for you selected trade with your CFAT they're going to send you a list of trade that you qualify if its the case .

For your information:

13 and 19 Oct.  Also, Wpns Tech is no longer available.

 

[highway7]

Thanks for the info Pwegman, I'm considering swapping Weapons Tech for Vehicle Tech if it's closed then, I'm going to ask my recruiter when I go write the CFAT

It could be because your trades of choice are all over the place i.e. Combat, Technical and Medical. I have to ask, how did you decided on these choices, and what is your educational background?
