So are they recruiting zero experience cadets?

My application on the portal says “you have not been selected” but I didn’t receive a rejection email. So are they still considering my application or not?

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone been hired as a cadet recently with Wizz?
What's the offer at the moment & T&Cs?
Finishing flight school at the moment only need to complete the UPRT. Still unsure whether to apply to Wizz or Ryanair dont really have the 30K for Ryanair
Thanks

Hi mate, try to find a forum about Wizz and not the Pilot Academy. This is an ab initio program. But as far as I'm concerned, Wizz is only actively recruiting experienced pilots, graduates from their pilot academy or cadets with A320 rating.
Ryanair is recruiting cadets for summer 2022, not earlier. You pay 30k for the rating but have no job guarantee (only the line training).

I applied early August. I don’t think they are hiring zero experience cadets. Which makes me wonder why are the applications open.

Hi. If you mean WAPA program - they still do assesements for cadets for 0-ATPL program continuously.
Do not mix it with WizzAir pilot interviews.

Hi guys, how are you? I have an assessment day in October. I received the mail with Math and Physics material. Can someone tell me which part we should be focus on in Math? I was looking that what they send us, it linear equations, functions, quadric functions etc. And again on some site I read it that they are giving basic things like multiplication, division, subtraction as well as speed, distance and time calculations.

Has anyone done the test and can tell us on what we should be focused?

Its roughly 61,710 euro, including the cost of the aptitude test (price doesn't include accommodation and transport) however, if you stay with wizz air for 5 years, and do not breach any contract, that the last 5 thousand will be written off. this is structured as such : 13950 payed upfront before starting training, then, after being released as a first officer by wizz air, you will start making monthly payments of 520 euro, for the next 30 months, then 897 euro for the 30 months after that, and finally, an optional payment of 1000 euro per month fro the next 5 months. cost of aptitude test may vary between 210 to 250 euro, depending on the flight school you apply to.

Hi,

I applied on 24 OCT 21 and have yet to hear anything. Has anyone else heard anything since applying then?
How much is the type rating at the end and if there is a bond how long is the type rating bond for?
Additionally, do you need to have a valid Class 1 Medical for the assessment or for beginning the programme?

Thank you in advance.

Hello!
Yo don't have to bring Class 1 medical for the assessment. You can do it afterwards, if Wizz will select you. Having or not haviing Medical does not affect the assesment.
Type Rating - bonded scheme available.
24-Oct - is not too far from today. Just check yoou status on the career website (don't forget to switch UK/US language on the career website - check both of them)

Best Regards

Hi, guys! My assessment is at the end of this month. Since the situation from the application to the assessment unraveled quite rapidly, I had to acquire tons of information over a very short period of time. Perhaps the most difficult for me was to revive my Physics knowledge, since I learned it for the last time 10 years ago in German, which is not my native language and now I have to do it in English.. But aside from that. Do You have any tips on how to improve my skills in listening to the radio? I have bought few prep packages - SkyTest, Pilotassessment for WizzAir (incl. Cadets), JobTestprep.co.uk and the listening-comprehension tests trouble me the most. I manage to understand only partly some phrases and codes and usually my results are below 50% Thanks in advance!

Hi Officer33,

I can suggest to postpone your willingness to listen to the radio. It’s matter of training, you will learn it in flight school and on type rating later on. It’s quite difficult to understand from the radio at the beginning, especially when you have no clue what are they talking about. However when you got familiar with aviation, procedures etc. you are more or less trained for what to expect from the radio message you are listening to and you can interpret accordingly and much easier.

However if you are not still convinced or just by curiosity, I would suggest to check LiveATC website, you can listen to the conversations in live. However if you want something with subtitles and maybe some interesting stories from aviation radio communication, I can suggest the youtube channel VASAviation.

P.S. I recommend to use headphones

Good Luck!

Hi guys,
I've currently applied for the Wizz air pilot academy, and have been selected, im waiting for a date regarding the interview and the screening date. I got the package that Wizz Air sent me and i saw all the Mathematics and Physics chapters and other stuff to study, i have a few questions i would like to get answered if possible, if its really necessary to study that subjects or if i should study some basic maths and mental calculations as i saw on other forums as well?. I also saw that someone said there was a test about a cube and its orientation and rotation, should i worry about that as well or is not something that can happen during my assessment day?. Funny part i got the assessment day as the 6th od December even if i only got my invitation like in the afternoon of the 7th xD, i don't see any other dates available is it ok or they have dates available and i cant see them?. OFC if you have anything else i should focus on if somebody could tell me that would be awesome (i have no problem with radio, coordination, aviation english and thus i'm in possession of a PPL).
Thank you so much if somebody answers .

Question of age

Hi all,

I wonder what could be the age limit to this program. Obviously officially there's none because that would be discrimination but unofficially?
I'm 37 now, when I sent my application last year I was 36, I have class 1 medical, half way through my ppl, financially sound to get a bond, pay fees and live comfortably next few years, I'd consider myself as a good candidate for such program unless there's a certain age group they go for.
When I sent my application it was rejected in about 1-2 hours, I highly doubt an actual person would have seen it in that time, must a logarithm set for certain parameters. Is there anyone over 30 who got invited for assessment?

Hi,

There is actually no age limit, it’s not only officially but reality.

From certain sources I can tell you that in WAPA there are guys with age over 30, and quite a lot of them. I heard of people of 30, 32, 33 and even 36 yo.

The age is not disqualifying you thats I can tell you for sure!

Best of luck!
