CAN YOU AFFORD TO FAIL YOUR INTERVIEW?
INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE NOW

"After enrolling in the Cadet Pilot Interview (Assessment) Preparation Course offered by the Hong Kong Professional Pilots Association, I successfully secured a position as a cadet pilot. Initially, my English, especially for the ICAO English exam, wasn't very strong. This course proved to be immensely beneficial for me!

 

The interview techniques and strategies taught by the instructors helped me to excel in the interview. The training captains provided detailed analysis of the latest interview questions in the industry, enabling me to quickly grasp key skills and information. I am grateful to all the instructors at the Hong Kong Professional Pilots Association for providing such a well-designed course. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone aspiring to become a cadet pilot!"

Carmen, Cadet Pilot
