Do you have the ‘right stuff’ (the necessary aptitude) to be a pilot?
Whether you haven't started your training yet, have just graduated looking for your first job, or thinking about a career move to a new airline, then it is likely you will need to complete a pilot aptitude test. We have a range of testing suite options to suit every level.
Have a look below for the stage applicable to you.
Not yet started training (ab-initio):
For those entering flight training, it is a very expensive business. Before signing a contract for training it's important to know whether you have the aptitude to make a career of flying. Our ab-initio tests are specifically designed to indicate whether you have the potential to succeed in professional flying and are indicative of following a minimum flight course footprint. This may well save you a lot of heartache and very considerable financial investment. If you’re thinking of becoming a professional pilot you are highly advised to take these assessments before you do anything else about flying as a career.
Your results will be contextualised with you in mind. One of the team will work with you to create an individual development plan, adding value to your test results and career preparation.
The assessment is designed to be experience neutral: you do not need any prior knowledge or experience of flying to complete the test and it will not impair or enhance performance.
Finished training or Direct Entry Pilot (DEP):
For those who have finished training, or those who are seeking a job in a new airline, we have a separate suite of tests. These tests are more advanced and include tailored psychometrics for those who have undertaken competence based training previously. The assessment team will be able to guide the next stage in your career, providing tailored feedback on your assessment day preparation.
If you wish to bring a copy of your CV or written questions on the day, the team will be able to provide you feedback alongside a debrief of your aptitude test performance.
To date, well over 1500 candidates have benefitted from the wisdom of having their aptitude assessed before embarking on a commercial flying training course. The team are comprised of experienced professionals with a wide range of flying and aviation recruitment experience. They will be on hand to facilitate your development, in any capacity you wish.
All tests will be conducted at our office in London – Air Pilots House, 52a Borough High Street, London, SE1 1XN.
There will be two sessions on each date. The morning session starts at 9.30, the afternoon session starts at 13.00.
Each session lasts about 2-2.5 hours.
The cost to take the Aptitude assessments is £105.00. This is payable once your place is confirmed.
