Airlineprep
Does anyone have any experience or attending one of the Airline preparation courses with Airlineprep? I spoke to one of the owners who responded very quickly to my enquiry and they seem very professional and friendly. The courses seem to offer excellent preparation for Interview and Assessment, but I just wanted to know if anyone used their services before I book?
Thank you!
Thank you!

I thought I would offer some information on my original post. I took the plunge and attended a 1:1 bespoke training day with AirlinePrep. I have to say it was very useful and they helped me prepare for my recent cadet pilot assessment.
The instructors are current First Officers with two major UK airlines and the training is carried out at a UK Airline's Training Centre where they have the use of some conference facilities. Learning in this environment and seeing Pilots and Cabin Crew go about their training really confirmed to me that I want this career.
On the day, the Instructors took me through a Group Exercise, assessed my numerical reasoning skills (and gave me some hints, tips and training on areas I was unsure about), mechanical reasoning skills (gears, pulleys, simple electrical circuits) and conducted a one hour long interview. The interview was very challenging and they really helped me with the competency based style questions such as "tell me about a time you have disagreed with someone more senior" or "tell me about a time when you have lead a team". They helped me add Pilot specific skills to my answers and structure my them in such a way that I was conveying all the relevant information to the Interviewer. Many airlines have a Pilot skills list, so I found it valuable knowing what these core skills are.
The Instructors have also kept in contact after the course and helped me with any queries I still had. I would certainly recommend contacting them if you want to give yourself the strongest chances of succeeding.

Hi guys,
Just to refresh the query on Airlineprep.
Has anyone attended Airlineprep (full day course for cadets) and could share their experience?
How was it? did it help you? etc.

The course was fast paced but was led by two very experienced ex-millitary current airline pilots for major airlines with a fountain for knowledge of multiple airlines they've worked for. Industry style group exercise, aptitude tests and full mock interviews with plenty of material to take home. Plus unlimited support after the course. Thoroughly recommend the team at Flight Deck Wingman, frequent courses too and mine had a huge variety of skill level but a great atmosphere.

I got AirlinePrep to do my CV / Cover Letter for the airline I now have employment with (they are Irish, but not RYA) - I also did an afternoon of interview practise. Both worth every penny and interview practise was second to none. Before I got offered this job, I had an interview at an Exeter based turboprop flying company - I got commended for how well my interview went.
The interview practise wasn't just how to answer questions, but also articulation, approach and how not to get flustered!
