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 integrated LEAP course with our Training Guarantee.
Skills Assessment Process
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 will 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
- Numeracy
As well as non-technical skills such as:
- Communication
- Teamwork
- Leadership
- Resilience
- Initiative.
These abilities are key requirements of a pilot’s skill set. You need to know you’ve got what it takes before embarking on your training course.
A Skills Assessment pass is valid indefinitely. This provides access to our comprehensive Training Guarantee and allows enrolment on one of our integrated LEAP courses.

Please note, you may be required to complete your computer-based aptitude tests prior to attending your Skills Assessment day. 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!
Training Guarantee
Upon passing your Skills Assessment, you will be offered a place on one of our integrated LEAP courses.
This will come with our comprehensive Training Guarantee. Covering any additional training fees should you fail any elements of the course for reasons of aptitude rather than attitude.
Medical
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 check if you’re successful in your application.
