Pilot training skills assessment

If you’d like to enrol on our LEAP flight training course, you’ll need to pass a Skills Assessment. This process assesses your potential for success and ensures we select the best pilots for the airlines. If you meet the standard, you’ll be invited to enrol on the next available course.

Our MAP (modular) and uMAP courses follow an adjusted assessment pathway, to enrol on these, please contact us for more information or visit our course pages!

We don’t expect you to have flying experience beforehand as we’ll be assessing your aptitude for ab-initio (‘from the beginning’) training, as well as for life as a pilot. Whether your assessment is online or in person, it’ll involve computer-based tests, a group exercise and an interview.

We’ll be looking for technical skills such as spatial awareness, reaction speed, multi-tasking capability and numeracy, as well as non-technical skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, resilience and initiative. These abilities are key requirements of a pilot’s skill set, and you need to know you’ve got what it takes before embarking on your training course.

Our Skills Assessments are valid for one year. For more information on what to expect during the assessment process, click here. Please note, you may be required to complete your computer-based aptitude tests prior to attending your Skills Assessment day.

Once you’re ready to take the first step towards becoming a commercial pilot, select your preferred Skills Assessment date below and our training advisors will be in touch shortly.

Please note, we don’t assess your health or fitness during this process. A Class 1 Medical Certificate will be required as a pre-requisite to training, along with a DBS, if you’re successful in your application.
