I've never agreed with it, it's an unnecessary burden on a small school and should be done by the airlines anyway (if they want particular candidates, they should select them). There was great hilarity at the KSA meeting in Koln when I said that we teach our pilots to be anti-authority
Our KSA assessment is done over the consolidation periods, together with timely paperwork.
To answer the OP, BGS is one of the best choices.
Can you give me some examples of how you test this during periods of consolidation? You do exercises"? If yes, what kind of exercises?
My main concern is the fact that while I consider myself a fluent English speaker, I am not a native speaker and I don't speak it regularly (I listen, write and read every day, but I rarely speak it). So if I'm being evaluated in a group full of native speakers (this will naturally set the standard) it might be a "problem".
