STEP 4

Upon completion of the airline background check, applicants are invited to attend a screening session at the Flagler flight training facility north of Daytona Beach, FL. These day-and-a-half sessions are offered Monday through Friday. The Office of Admissions will assist with lodging and travel arrangements.

Students who enroll and complete the first certification are eligiable for a $500 travel reimbursement applied to their flight account. (We will not give a CASH reimbursement.)

The screening process includes:

Assessment of general intelligence, personality, aptitude, and cognitive reasoning
A simulator evaluation
A personal interview

Scores from these tests are tabulated, and applicants whose combined scores meet or exceed the standards set by the airlines for the CAPT Program are accepted for admission.

Screening is a day-and-a-half session.
Acceptance into the program is valid for six months.
Training normally commences once per month in approximately the third week.
The application fee is $180 for background and screening costs.
