Hi everyone,
I had the first phone meeting today and I have until Saturday to do the IQ test. Do you have any information about the type of test it will be? Have you got any advice to prepare for this test? Thanks in advance if you have any information
Do you know how many people applied for the 1 year course and how many they will finally select?
Is the IQ test considered as difficult? Has everyone been phoned after having made the application or is the first step very selective?
I have quite a lot of stress concerning this test so don't hesitate to tell me how to handle it
Have a nice day!

Hello,
As far as I know, they are searching for 30 to 40 pilots. They did mention though that they could end up with 20 or less if they don’t find enough suitable candidates.
They will recruit more people for the 3 years program than the 1,5 years program. How much exactly they didn’t say.
Silver, I hope your IQ test went well? Did you hear anything from them after it?

Thanks a lot for your reply Wfpf!
It's reassuring to learn that they accept more candidates than last year. Yes it went right and I'm coming to Brussels on the 3rd of may in order to do the compass test!
Do you have any idea about how many candidates are eliminated after the IQ tests, and how many of us have the chance to take the compass test?
Thanks for your information,

Hey Silver,
I have no idea about how many people they eliminate after each round, but I do know that IQ test is based on a master level. I assume they do eliminate quite a decent amount of applicants. But if you’re doing well and they believe you have potential, the selection will take less than 2 weeks (read: from phone call to jury).

Ok thanks a lot for your answer! If the proportions are the same this year we should be like 200-250 to go tu the compass test then
Do you have any advice to prepare for this test for those who already have taken this type of test?
Thanks in advance,
Silver

I received their standard rejection e-mail after only 2 business days. I'm Belgian, 34 years old, speak the 3 languages and a few more, carefully documented my motivation and covered all official requirements. When I asked for feedback, they let me know a background in maths or physics would have been a hard requirement and besides, they prefer people with previous experience in the aviation world.
Makes me wonder if any 30-somethings made it through to the compass test?

Hey guys,
I am 18 years of age, 19 in june. Currently studying IT at HoGent. Belgian with Turkish roots. Speak dutch and english very well, only basic french. Applied a couple weeks ago and have gone through the phone interview, online iq test and the compass test. Going in for the onsite interview tomorrow. We'll see how it goes but seeing that they will apparently hire 30-40 pilots as opposed to the 15 of last year, I am pretty hopeful.

Hi guys,
I'll introduce myself quickly:
- French
- 22 YO
- Fluent English and good German speaking (no Dutch)
I passed the phone interview and the IQ test. They called me the day right after I passed the IQ test to invite me in Brussels to pass the Compass test. I will pass it in early July, and I hope it will go well
Let me know what you thought about the Compass Test if someone passed it please

Safar, it is the case for the 3.3 years program, but not for the 1.5. I'm French and don't speak Dutch, and I've been selected for the 1.5 years track.
Also apparently they will take 15 candidates for the 3.3 years program and 20 for the 1.5.
Good luck to those who are in the selection process!
Fingers crossed.

Hey Silverblt.
Congratulations with your selection! Did they call you or were you the one that contacted them?
I'm still waiting for my feedback after the jury, it's been two months now.

Last year 12 individuals started with the classic track, of which 9 are begian and 3 are dutch. For this year I am guessing Tui is looking for the same amount, however since no fast track will start this year there should be more room for the classic track. Just some food for thought since I havent seen any definitive numbers.
I called Belfius about the loan, and I advise you to do the same Theyll give you some quick advice about what you can and cannot loan. Belfius confirmed to me that I should be able to get a loan and that they worked with TUI in the past. For this year its not yet confirmed.
Anyway, good luck with figuring it all out.

The first three rounds have been successfully for me. Currently preparing for the fourth round, better known as Compass.
These first three rounds are exactly like what they're described like on the TUI site. Don't stress too much about it, its more of a pre selection in my eyes. Good luck though.

Would be a sensible thing to do.
For anyone looking at starting flight training at this moment , a little bit of advise (regardless of whether it is a good idea or not to start training in the first place). Do not pay large schools that are currently surfing on the airline connections of the past large sums of money up front in the hope of having a stepping stone to an airline job.
Find a place where you can do the PPL at first and progress to advanced training when and if you wish.
There are currently plenty of flight schools that are about to fall over and will use their "reputation with the airlines" to convince you to give them your money.
Avoid integrated (full payment in advance) and go modular (spread payments).
