Guys,
I am going to do the assessments on hope to get into the Wizzair cadet program. Can someone confirm that there's an evaluation after 5 months and wizzair can simply get you off the cadet program without a specific reason? This really turns me off because I can do it much cheaper somewhere else. But the Cadet is a great eay to make you more confident that you'll find a job after the training.
Also I would really really really appreciate if someone who recently done the assessments can tell me (I am sure more people are interested) what exactly the assessments and, interview, grammer include...
Thanks!

From what I understand you are correct after 5mc wizz will organize assessment flight in order to check your progress and they can remove you from the program. Did you have your assessment? Could you share your experience and how did you prepare for it? Thank in Advance!

Hey, I’m a wizz cadet. There is no check flight and no theoretical knowledge test after you starts your training. There are simulator test flights but it’s only after you finished your training and started doing type rating with them, but that’s a different thing. If you do good in school according to their standards you’ll be guaranteed to get a spot at wizz.

I think Kuba was referring to the Wizz Air Pilot Academy which is a different program than the one here at BAA. As far as I remember, students enrolled in the Wizz Air Pilot Academy course have to go through some check flights before Wizz Air commits to the loan agreement with them. This is not the case at BAA since we are self-sponsored. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
all the best,
Kuba

Thanks, Jurow! Some people have mentioned here sky test middle east version I have got one for UK and tried to avoid to buy another one for £70, and find something similar. Now I know everything
Ps. I think for wizz cadet scheme there isn't physics? Correct me if I am mistaken. On my assessment inviation says - aptitude test (slalom, math, orientation, task manager, memory, then a psychological, an English test and a short interview about myself. Cheers!

This is exactly what I mean Constant92. Also, do you mind if I use this opportunity and ask you about the compass test as I'm assuming you have done one if you are with BAA? I just found out three weeks prior to my assessment day and compass test which I am not familiar with. Could you confirm how many questions are in math part how many minutes and if it is whether multiple choice or you have to put the answer? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
all the best,
Kuba

Jurow's advice is spot on, just get the one month subscription and practice the different exercises. If you practice the math and physics part at the intermediate and advanced levels, you will be just fine on the day of the test. There was also an exercise where you had to find the correct aircraft position based on the indications on the instrument, something like that... I'm sure you can find the exercise in question. I also remember we had an exercise where we had to memorise different values, also practice your hand-eye coordination skills with a joystick. If you don't mind spending an extra 80 EUR I highly recommend getting Skytest Middle East. I reckon you'll be fine with the one month subscription on latestpilotjobs, but there's no harm in improving your chances with Skytest.

About "set difficulty to hard" --> does this also apply to the memory part, where they give you heading, radio, altitude etc. and you have to memorize it? Because "hard" level gives you 4 value, which is damn hard... I heard there are maximum three values to memorize, is that true?

Once again, if you set the difficulty to hard, you will find the test to be easier than expected and you will simply be better prepared. I would advise to train on both medium and hard levels.

I think enough information about the baa tests has already been given. Now just come and do the exam, all this extra questions about anything and everything are going to make 0 difference in reality. You've been told what's on it and how to prepare, that's adequate enough

Hi. I would like to ask if someone has the information when wizz flying academy will offer the seat for Hungarian citizens? As far as I know the scheme is only for Polish, Romanian and Bulgarian at the moment. Thanks

Greetings!
A few questions for those who have attended the COMPASS test at BAA for WizzAir Cadet programme:
-For the short memory test, how much values you need to memorize, 3 or 4?
-Was there verbal reasoning task? (reading text, then evaluating if a statement is True, False or Can't say)
-Was there a task wher eyou had to listen to something and act? E.g. if you head three same beeps in a row, you need to press a button. If there was such task, were the signals plain words or some stupid beeps?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I am from India and am interested in joining this cadet program. I would like to know what kind of problems/factors (for eg, do they take more time to generate licence) international students need to keep in mind while undergoing the training there?
Thanks!

Just want to double check that you have 'Unrestricted right to live and work in the European Union'? Asking this since you've mentioned that you are from India and the unrestricted right to live and and work in the EU is listed as a requirement for this cadet program.

In my experience, it would be best to simply email the academy and ask them these questions because everyone's story is different, and we all come from different parts of the world. People on this forum want to help, but we don't have all the answers since we are just students and not the employees of the BAA.
