The £250.00p is credited back as a deposit onto the flying account for those that are successful and go onto the course. the assessment day consists of typical Psychometric test series, simulator ride, Maths & Physics test paper & an airline style interview with the heads of training from Astraeus & Stapleford and the Course Co-ordinator for Bond aviation. It is a small price to pay to see if somebody has what it takes to commence the ATPL before serious amounts of cash are spent I reckon!!!
