Hi there! I've been preparing for almost a year for the testair360 exam in order to be accepted into the Wizzair Cadet Program. I will be applying in a few months for the first and second stage of the exam. I've read that the first ad second stage are quite tough. I also noticed that Wizz Air provides links and info about the math and physics contents that helps to prepare for the exam. I would be very greatful in someone could send these to my email ( [email protected] ) so I can prepare in advance.
I also have another question. Is it possible to re-apply after a failed attempt? Thanks in advance for the help, and good luck everyone!

What I can tell you as a Flight Examiner is that the almost every Wapa students here are graduating with satisfactory performance during their AB initio training and then they tend to succeed also on the type and line training at Wizz. I suppose this is also because of the strict selection process and the value and knowledge added by the flightscool. Besides Wizz Air Tréner is also working with the local University as a partner for their Aviation Engineer BSc course since 1990, so their main profile is high quality university level aviation training.

Anyway I am not here to advertise any flightschools but as a fact I can tell you that usually I am pleased and happy to sit in the aircraft for a CPL Exam Flight for a WAPA student.

How did you prepare?
What were the problems to solve and the questions asked during the interview?"

Even though I was not chosen for WAPA, I was still offered a spot by Trener in the same programme with self funding and that after the training you would have a guaranteed interview as cadet first officer for Wizz. Have people been successful with this route as well or is it important to be in WAPA?

There are successfull candidates via this path as well, it is the same like for the BSc University students at Trener, an interview spot is guaranteed for those who fullfill the application requirements for the cadet FO position indicated on Wizz Air's website (i.e. nationality, residence, etc.). Of course in this case you have to pass the Non-Type Rated FO interview which is a much more complex interview, requires a lot of preparation (also including simulator assessment) - so do not take it as a job guarantee! Still the pass rate on the Non-Type Rated FO assessment is higher than 80% among Tréner cadets.

Wizz Air entry requirements

Now, the confusing part for me is do I HAVE to be living there before the training starts, or does anyone know if i can simply relocate to one of these countries? (Im assuming Hungary will be the main one), I am currently living in the UK with a Lithuanian Passport.
I have the exact same question but I can't find an answer.. Could anyone help us out?
Thank you

Thank you
It means you need to be able to live and travel in the EU (unrestrained) and meet visa requirements for countries outside of the EU.

Applied

Applied yesterday from the UK, 33, level 3 NVQ in Mechanical engineering, advanced diploma in engineering, Decent GCSE grades, meet all other requirements and got a you have not been selected near enough instantly. My guess is refused either due to location or age, career change will happen, I'll just self fund from when I re mortgage the house.

If you log back into the candidate portal it will show you on the jobs applied, if you look it might say you have not been selected. It does say they won't email everyone back unless successful.

Hi! Has anybody been through stage 1 recently and could help me with some detailed info on the maths and physics part of the assessment? How difficult (if it was any more difficult) was it compared to skytest? If you still remember some of the tasks, i would very much appreciate the details!

I've heard of a few guys on the course at Egnatia in their mid 30s. This was around 5 years ago though.
