Hi,

I would also like to know how long it will take for the Quality team to check my references provided. I am with Sterling T Solutions.

Does anyone know?

My quality checks took about 2 and a half weeks before the file was sent to BA. I'm with Procius though. Does anyone know how long it normally takes to get a start date after BA receives the file?

hi all, I have asked security watchdog for an update and the response I had was 'currently completing your file to hopefully be cleared for stage one' this was a little vague to me! any ideas?!

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could advise in my case ....

So I have no gaps for my 5 years reference but i went abroad to as an exchange student during my time at university for one year. During this time I was still a student of my university, I was merely just an exchange student abroad.... so whilst i can account that for 4 years I was a student in my uni, do I have to put in my 5 year check that I was a student abroad? I did not need a visa or anything for this year abroad as I had the right to study in that country so the only thing i needed to do that year was to fly abroad.....nothing else - do i still need to put this down in my check? and obtain a CRC for that country?

Academic references are quite troublesome and cost money....process is also very vague...but if i have to put it down i will just have to

Hi, yes I think you would need to put it down as you will need an overseas crc check which is required when you have lived abroad for more than 6 months. If in doubt just call the company that's doing your referencing for you. I'm not sure if you would need a reference for it as you said you were still part of your university, but you will definitely need an overseas CRC for that country

Hope that helps!!

thank you for the reply! I actually lived abroad for 3 months as i flew home for christmas and then went back for another 3... not sure if that is classified as being abroad for 6 months?

Thanks for your help! :)

do i have to put down for references even a job i did for 2 week only ?

Hi guys, I'm a little confused, please tell me which airlines accept standard crb checks and which need advanced.

UK airlines (or rather, airports) normally only require a basic disclosure.

I have never had to have an advanced one done
