Short Courses
The Pilot Selection Course is currently under development as an on-line course. We anticipate that the on-line course will have essentially the same content as the current classroom version. For information on the current course content, please see the Pilot Selection Course.
The Pilot Interviewing Essentials online course has been revised and is available.
“With almost 18 years experience in hiring and managing pilots, I thought I had a good handle on what to do. However, after attending your Pilot Selection Course in March of 2007, I began to realize how much I didn’t know especially involving government compliance.…..We had what I thought was a great hiring program, but I quickly realized we had no predictive validity. I could not prove that any test, interview or simulator evaluation actually worked in selecting the most suitable applicant….You showed us how this was a waste of time and money and how to correct the problem.”
