Wizzair Pilot Academy
Hi mates!
Did anyone of you took a part in Wizzair Pilot Academy programme? They recruit candidates with no licences and no flying experience. If yes, could you please tell me what can I expect on 1st and 2nd day screening? How do interwievs look like, what they may ask? I will appreciate any kind of help
All the best!

I was afraid of it but it was better than I thought In fact I didn't prepare to COMPASS because I didn' knot how it looks like and what skills should I improve. COMPASS tests your orientation, memory, reflex, taskmenager, basic technical knowledge, your English (general and aviation), maths and physics (quite basic but you have to calculate quickly only with your head, pencil and piece of paper - no electronical devices). You will also have personal psychological test (over 200 questions how would you react in some kinds of situations) and quick, nice chat with examinators. On 2nd day is teamwork (how do you cooperate with other people) and chat again. As you can find on their website, the last step is a meeting with psychologist. Besides, all your papers must be OK - criminal record, medical certificate class 1, bank account statement, loan ability etc. And the most important - ENGLISH. All test, tasks and chats are in English. You might have best skills but it will be useless if you didn't understand an instruction of a task
Sorry for no details but I don't know how much I can tell and I don't want any troubles with Wizz
Have you already started your recruitment process?

It took 1 or 2 days, I can’t remember that well. I received an email with an registered account on the school website and then I had to pay the fee for the selection. Did you already applied?

Maybe it’s because they know French people are disrespectful and can’t bother to properly spell the nation and fail to put a capital letter at the beginning of nation’s name (apart from French off course).

If you read under the financials section, they state "Please note that currently the program is available with valid Romanian / Polish / Bulgarian residency only.". Although strictly speaking under EU Law you should fulfil that criteria if you are in possession of a French passport.

It wasn’t supposed to be helpful. It was supposed to highlight that both Polish and Romanian people deserve a basic level of respect like everybody. Reflected amongst all the things by capital letters in nations’ names or correct spelling. There is plenty of online dictionaries which can help in that matter.
Somehow the gentleman above didn’t forget a captal letter in the word France. It says a lot.

Hi Michael,
Please, do not draw conclusions too quickly, you insinuate dirty things about me that are not true. I'm a really respectful person....
I explain you : it's a bad combination of circumstances : My english is quiet bad, and I forgot that in English you have to put capital letters for nationals. The fact is that in french gramar, there are capital letters only for the name of the contry, and not for the nationals. My mistake is just a bad reflex of french gramar.
For exemple, in French you write : "a french live in France" or "a polish live in Poland".
I should have written "I am french" instead of "I am from France".
Whatever, I've learned something today, and I hope I will not forgot the next Time ;-)

Hi all
Can anybody advise me please about the WizzAir Pilot Academy. I've been selected and invited to interview by Egnatia Aviation, but i can't make a decision. I am afraid that they could select more people than the WizzAir need and send them away after the completion of the first 5 months when you must pass the exams, for which you have to pay 22150 Eur. Does anybody go through all these steps and can share the experience with me? How serious is this school?
Thank you in advance!
