Focused on preparing future pilots to be ‘Airline Ready’
Wings Alliance recognises the standards and qualities an individual should possess prior to attending their airline assessments, which is why we offer an online Airline Pilot Assessment course to give our members an insight into what to expect.
How our assessment process works
On completion of your application, you will be asked to submit a personal statement for our staff to review. Our Training Advisors are available, to help you with your statement, if required. Wings Alliance Airline Pilot Assessment mirrors the style of real airline selection and is conducted by a team of specialist staff.
It tests your performance against criteria employers are looking for, and it consists of four parts:
- The application and personal statement will be reviewed by our staff.
- Online tests which are designed to assess your mathematical capabilities and aptitude, including cognitive ability, situational awareness, multi-tasking abilities, numerical and verbal reasoning.
- The live-online phase consists of an interview, a briefing exercise, and some more tests. During the online assessment, you’ll also have the opportunity to chat with one of our Training Advisors about your training plans and to ask any questions you may have. You will be needed for about 2-3 hours in total.
- Within a week of attending your online Assessment course, you will receive a written report on your performance during the live online phase and also feedback from the online tests you have completed. This will give you an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses for you to develop throughout your training.
The debrief you are given will be honest and constructive. Unlike training providers who use their assessment or ‘selection’ as part of their sales process, we have no incentive to encourage you in one direction or another. Therefore, you can trust our opinion as unbiased. We aim to provide you with the information to make informed choices, and the training to enable you to present yourself in the best light when you eventually face airline selection.
Why choose our airline pilot assessment?
- You will be able to make an informed decision about whether this is the right career choice for you – before you have spent time and money on training.
- The process will give you experience and confidence – you won’t be going into your first airline selection process ‘cold’.
- We will help you develop the competencies required of an airline pilot – increasing your performance in training and chances of selection by an airline.
Cost
The Wings Alliance Airline Pilot Assessment course costs £195.
How to apply to our Airline Pilot Assessment:
Complete our application form. One of our Training Advisors will assess your application, and contact you to discuss available dates.
Before you start training we recommend that you:
- have the right to live and work in the UK or EU;
- are over 16 years of age
- have been educated to GCSE level with 5 passes at A*- C, including English and Maths (or equivalent); and
- have achieved ICAO Aviation English Language proficiency at level 4+
Note, some employers stipulate that you must achieve first-time, or first-series passes of the CPL and IR licence skill tests, an average theory exam pass mark of 85% or better, and fail no more than two theory exams. If you do not meet these criteria, you will still be eligible for other employers. Complete the application form and we’ll contact you to discuss your employment prospects before committing.
It is also prudent to ensure that you are medically fit to work as a pilot – we, therefore, recommend that you obtain a class 1 medical certificate.
We’re here to help you
The process is designed to be accessible, friendly, and informative. Remember, this is an assessment and not a selection; as a training organisation, we aim to help you learn and develop.
