Selection - Have you got what it takes to be a CTC Wings Cadet?

Check that you qualify for a CTC Wings Cadet place

CTC Wings Cadet places are strictly limited. To qualify, you must

be at least 17 years of age (you must be 18 prior to completion of your CPL)

be able to demonstrate that you have successfully completed secondary or high school education
be fluent in English (verbal and written)

Three steps to getting airborne

The selection process for aspiring CTC Wings pilots is stimulating, challenging and competitive, designed to test your mettle through each of the phases - application, testing, group exercises and interview. By the end of the process, both you and CTC will have a clear, all-round picture of your abilities and your potential as a pilot.

Step 1
Fill in the online application form. Your application will be carefully screened to ensure your suitability for the next stage.

Step 2
All suitable applicants are invited to take part in an assessment day. During the morning we will test your numerical skills, discover your natural ability using the world's leading pilot aptitude testing system and you will take part in some group activities for us to evaluate your interpersonal skills.

We'll also endeavour to answer any remaining questions you have about CTC Wings during a presentation delivered by one of the CTC team.

Step 3
Those who are successful at Step 2 will be asked to stay on for the afternoon and complete an interview conducted by members of our CTC Wings selection team. (On occasions, this interview may need to take place at a later date which we will arrange at a time that is mutually agreeable.)

Naturally our partner airlines will also want to get to know you, so in addition to these four steps, you may be invited to an additional interview or to an extra selection session during your training with us.

It should be noted that some airlines have more specific entry criteria.
