Prepare for Center Air Pilot Academy
Center Air Pilot Academy runs its own battery at the admission test — CAPA admission test (optagelsesprøve), with no commercial vendor behind it.
The admission day covers English, maths, a group exercise, simulator flying and a closing interview, and costs DKK 1,000, refunded on enrolment.
No Center Air Pilot Academy-specific course yet
Center Air Pilot Academy's selection uses CAPA admission test (optagelsesprøve), which we do not train for specifically. The general aptitude course still covers the abilities it measures.

Center Air Pilot Academy is one of Scandinavia's leading privately owned pilot academies, based at Roskilde Airport near Copenhagen, Denmark. An EASA-approved training organisation with a long history of airline-focused training, it has become the region's reference point for MPL cadet programmes run in close partnership with major carriers.
Training at Center Air Pilot Academy
The academy delivers MPL and ATPL training with a strong airline orientation and is best known for its official partnership with SAS, teaching an MPL curriculum developed with the airline that leads graduates towards SAS First Officer positions. In April 2026 it added a Finnair MPL programme alongside the SAS track, extending its role as a cadet pipeline for Scandinavia's flag carriers, with all training delivered from its single Roskilde campus.
Admission to the airline MPL tracks is decided through multi-stage selection combining computer-based aptitude and psychometric testing with interviews, with the partner airline involved in final decisions. Because cadet places are directly tied to an airline seat, arriving well-practised in pilot aptitude assessments can make the difference between an offer and a near miss.
