2024 Update: Now Including Ryanair Boeing 737 Type Rating!
Successful applicants to the Ab-Initio Ryanair Future Flyer Academy will embark on an extensive 16-18 month training journey, featuring 220 hours of flight time at Cork International Airport, followed by a Ryanair Boeing 737 Type Rating. Moreover, upon successful completion of ab-initio assessment, cadets will receive a conditional job offer from Ryanair even before they commence their pilot training.
From the very beginning of the programme, trainees will immerse themselves in the world of Ryanair, learning its Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), culture, and operational philosophy. Trainees will also benefit from personalised one-on-one mentorship provided by seasoned Ryanair pilots.
Exclusive to Ryanair Future Flyer students is access to a streamlined recruitment process, offering a significant advantage during the final assessment stage due to their extensive training in Ryanair procedures.
Furthermore, upon successful completion of the final Ryanair assessment, graduates will be presented with the opportunity to join a Ryanair Boeing 737 Type Rating course.
Our Ryanair assessment consists of two parts.
1) Psychometric and aptitude testing which can be completed online at home.
2) Simulator assessment and interview which are held Monday to Fridays.
When you contact one of our training advisors you will be emailed a link to complete this section of the assessment at home. This is a computerised pilot screening system which assesses work related behaviour, situational behaviour, deductive-logical thinking, inductive-logical thinking, spatial orientation, reaction speed, monitoring ability, multi-tasking capabilities and complex control. After successfully passing the CUT-E test, you will be invited to attend part two of the assessment in our academy. The simulator aptitude test consists of a short briefing, after which you will be instructed to perform some basic manoeuvres. This is to assess your trainability, capacity and interaction with an instructor. This final part of the process is an opportunity for you to tell us why you would like to join the Ryanair Future Flyer Academy and what qualities, characteristics and experience you could offer Ryanair . The instructors want to be sold on your commitment and dedication towards the training and the career. You will be tested on your technical and non-technical skills. Non-technical skills include areas such as communication, leadership and decision making. Technical skills would include, basic knowledge of aircraft systems, principles of flight. There will also be some mental math’s questions included here.The CUT-E Test
