Prepare for easyJet
3 courses prepare you for the easyJet selection process.
easyJet screens with ADAPT at the cadet selection (Generation easyJet, run by CAE).
easyJet screens with cut-e / Aon at the cadet selection (easyJet FlightCrew Futures, run by Skyborne) and the direct-entry screening.
Screening differs by route: the CAE-run Generation easyJet programme uses the ADAPT test, while the Skyborne-run FlightCrew Futures route uses the Aon battery.
easyJet
Preparation for easyJet pilot selection: the Generation easyJet MPL with CAE stage by stage (the application file, the ADAPT battery, the assessment day and what follows), the FlightCrew Futures ATPL route with Skyborne, the partner schools, and direct entry with its simulator assessment.
ADAPT Test Preparation
Prepare for the ADAPT pilot aptitude test from Symbiotics — the computer-based aptitude stage in CAE's cadet programmes for IndiGo, easyJet and Volotea, and in several academies' own admissions.
Aon (cut-e) Test Preparation
Prepare for the Aon (formerly cut-e) online assessment used by Ryanair, Delta, FTEJerez, Skyborne and many other airlines and academies. Covers the reasoning, spatial, multitasking and personality modules with a matched practice plan.

easyJet is one of Europe's largest low-cost airlines, flying an all-Airbus A320-family fleet of around 370 aircraft — roughly 180 A320s and 79 A319s alongside a growing block of A320neos and A321neos — from close to thirty bases across the UK and Continental Europe. Since Brexit it has operated as three airlines under one brand: easyJet UK, easyJet Europe in Vienna and easyJet Switzerland, an arrangement that keeps its UK and EU traffic rights intact. London Gatwick is its largest base, and the point-to-point network runs from Scotland and Scandinavia down to the Canaries, the Mediterranean and North Africa, with Marrakech added as a base in 2026.
Flying for easyJet
easyJet feeds its own flight deck through two parallel Generation easyJet cadet routes, and it has committed to 1,000 new pilots by 2031 split evenly between them. The long-standing MPL programme runs with CAE, a partnership renewed for a further five years in 2026, and takes cadets from zero hours to the right-hand seat of an A320 for €115,000 on EASA contracts from July 2026. As of September 2026 the MPL is open to UK applicants, while its EU (EASA) route has been closed to new applicants since January 2025: its 2026–27 places go to candidates already in selection, and CAE does not expect the next EASA intake before autumn 2027. The newer FlightCrew Futures route, opened with Skyborne in 2026 to train 500 pilots, is an integrated ATPL of roughly eighteen months costing about £129,000 including the type rating. Both end in a first officer seat, and the airline also recruits type-rated and experienced pilots directly.
Selection differs by route, and in both cases the aptitude stage is where most applicants stop. CAE screens Generation easyJet candidates with Symbiotics' ADAPT battery, sat online under remote invigilation: maths and physics papers, a cognitive test and FAST, a multitask flight scenario, plus a personality questionnaire. Those who pass meet easyJet at an online assessment day with a group exercise and a one-to-one competency interview. The Skyborne route instead opens with a web-based set of psychometric, numeracy and aptitude assessments built on the Aon battery, followed by an online assessment centre with a group exercise and a competency-based interview run by easyJet's own recruiters; clearing it brings a conditional job offer before training starts. Whichever door you come through, the timed cognitive tests come first, and they reward practice far more than nerve.
