There will be a mixture of questions (technical/mathetical/geographical/personal). Keep your cool even if some questions you really have no answer for. No point trying to "bluff" your way through.be confident yet humble. just read up on everything.

aptitude tests i think if you read thru 99 pages from this forum, it hasn't changed much. a lot of math, reaction time etc. i saw this from this forum just posted up APST IPAS

if not you can try to google some aptitude tests to practice.
all the best!

hmm the new format they have is as such.

1) 1st interview
2) 2nd interview (aptitude tests/final interview/tea party)
3) medical (about 2 days after final interview, you call in the day before do find out if you made it thru to this stage)
4) medical results pass/fail -> email notification of course commencement date.

time between 1st interview/2nd can vary A LOT.
time between medical/offer for course can vary A LOT as well.

the final interview was done in june.

If you fail to make it into the RSAF, you can apply to SIA CPP even when your below the age of 26, however the company does not employ potential pilots if you are not yet 25 years old.

Anyone care to clarify?


RipKurl, did you try out for the RSAF? Congratulations on being selected for the SQ CPP too.

Angel SIA cadet

Hi Guys

I am just done with my medical last week. I heard guys who did medical a week before me are still waiting. Looks like they are looking for a lot of cadets. The online application is still open.

Anyone have any idea how to check the results of the medical.

The real reasons are:

1. They wanted to get as much as people, so that, those qualified and inqualified ones will stay in their record. This way, those (inqualified) attempt to reapply in future will be kicked-off immediately and permanently.

2. Everybody who apply to SIA, must read James Tan's case. [click here. Read post #558 onwards]. James wrote in to the press and complained. Because of that, SIA has no choice, but to entertain Tom-Dick-Harry, inviting them for interview.

Advertising for cadets may not be hiring alot. Don't get mistaken.

Yes there are. But on 2 conditions.
1. you must declare that you have done it.
2. your pre-lasik degree must still be within SIA requirement as stated in their Ad.

To answer your question, "no", I have never heard of any case.

Starburst3128, is right.

To add on further, supposedly there are 10 lasik surgical applicants at that time, SIA will consider some as they have no choice.

However, if there are 9 non-lasik and 1 with lasik sugery applicants, the one with lasik sugery will be out immediately and permanently!

Applied to SIA twice in 2 months but still no response.Anyone can help?

Hi all,

I applied to SIA as cadet pilot last month after they had opening for the position online but so far there is no acceptance or rejection on the website portal.Last satuday they had Ad in the newspaper so i applied again.

Has anyone else applied in last 2 months?

Is there any advice as to how i should go about it?

Thanks
Ash

skyknight: i'd say check through your application and make sure you meet all the requirements. as long as the application in the web portal doesn't show rejection or they have contacted you, you'll just have to wait it out.

best bet is usually the walk-in interview sessions. good luck and don't give up!

==================

pilotpassion: age31? i'm not sure but if you are keen and have savings etc, i'd say why not! if not you will surely wonder/regret in the future.

Anoop_d27 > Do u mind saying when your frens went for the medical ?

I had my medical about 3 weeks ago, still waiting for a reply though.

Anyone knows how long on average before SQ contacts applicants after the medical ?

Airbus_1985 > Congrats on passing the second round!! I know 2 of the guys whom attended as well! 8 months will fly by!

Vnash > all the best for your second round interview! Check for tips on the forum. Be honest and sincere! Good Luck!
