SELECTION PROCESS
We review all online applications and subject to you meeting our entry criteria, you will be invited to complete our initial web based selection process. This is a series of online psychometric, numeracy and aptitude assessments.
We use the AON assessment tool to help determine whether or not you have the core competencies needed to successfully commence the course. The next stage of the selection process will be to attend an online assessment with Skyborne. This includes a series of non-technical activities and an interview. During your training with Skyborne, we help you develop those core skills, knowledge and attitude to become an effective commercial pilot.
Unlike most flight training organisations, we do not charge for selection.
