They offer class dates year round, but they’ll almost certainly deny a deferment of more than a month or two unless you have a REALLY good reason. The reason class dates only exist through June now is because the FAA fiscal year starts in summer, so late summer/fall dates haven’t been determined yet.

Preaching to the choir my friend! My boss made me give him a final work day, so I will largely be at the mercy of the FAA after April..
I'd assume things like finishing school would be a good reason, but wondering if things like a wedding or something would be.
They offered me April 2nd and April 15th and I told them I get back from a wedding april 18th and they had no problem giving me an April 22nd class date. They were really nice about it and seemed like they are willing to work with you of its within reason.

So why do the class dates end in June then?

If my medical poc told me I cleared medical does that 100% mean I passed the MMPI? I’ve seen people some people say yes and some no. Also I already cleared security so was wondering why I haven’t been offered a date.

Ok I’ll ask you to since notorious GBP hasn’t answered. Why does the class schedule end in June if fiscal year is october?

I would just guess a new class schedule would be posted. As you can see that one goes all the way back to 2017.

Cool, didn’t think there would be a break in classes but that makes sense

Just to add to the conversation from like 10 pages ago, me and a fellow classmate were told we were "best qualified" but haven't received TOLs yet. So that's a thing.
Also the HR lady said they're still keeping the list open and may send out more TOLs soon.
She also said there may be another bid soon. But who knows what "soon" means. lol

yes, MMPI is part of your medical clearance, as far as I'm aware
The coordinator should be the one who notified you of tier 2. Once your case is forwarded to tier 2 office it sits there until review. Then they notify your coordinator to contact you and set up the shrink appointment or gather more documents if needed. After the appointment the results are sent back to DC and they have the 45 days to review the findings and make a determination.
That is how the process was explained to me. I don't think there is any visibility on status while your case is in DC. My ATM program manager is going to some big conference at headquarters mid-April and going to ask the tier 2 office about my case and see what info he can get for me.
