Pilot Training FAQ & Admission Requirements

What are the entry and eligibility requirements for CAE Oxford Aviation Academy?

To gain admission, candidates must be at least 18 years old, have completed secondary education (STEM subjects preferred), be fluent in English, and hold a valid EASA or UKCAA Class 1 Medical Certificate. Candidates must also pass the computer-based ADAPT skills and personality assessment.

What does the CAE ADAPT assessment involve?

The ADAPT assessment is a computer-based test evaluated by the CAE Assessment Team. It tests mathematical capability, physics knowledge, cognitive skills, spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination motor skills, and personality alignment for commercial pilot training.

What is the difference between the MPL and Integrated ATPL programs at CAE?

The Multi-crew Pilot License (MPL) is a fast-tracked airline-specific program (e.g., easyJet or Volotea) focusing on multi-crew operations from an early stage, leading directly to a co-pilot seat. The Integrated ATPL is a broader program that allows you to train for a generic commercial pilot license to apply to any airline.

Does CAE Oxford Aviation Academy offer student accommodation?

Yes, CAE offers student accommodation and housing options near its training centers, including Oxford, Brussels, Madrid, and London Gatwick. Accommodation availability and fees vary by campus.
