Transavia's screening is built on two instruments administered at EPST in Utrecht: the COMPASS aptitude test, which measures the cognitive and coordination skills flying demands, and the CPP personality profile, which maps how you operate as a professional. The roughly €400 candidate fee makes this a test you want to pass on the first attempt.
What the two tests measure
COMPASS cognitive subtests: mental arithmetic, spatial orientation, technical comprehension and memory in short, strictly timed blocks.
COMPASS coordination subtests: hand-eye (and foot) control tasks and multitasking combinations that measure how your accuracy survives divided attention.
The CPP: a standardised personality questionnaire profiling traits relevant to the flight deck — cooperation, discipline, stress handling — with consistency checks built in.
How to prepare
The COMPASS Test Preparation course on this platform covers each subtest in depth, so work through it first rather than duplicating that ground here. For daily training, the full maths and speed–distance–time games keep your mental arithmetic fast, the spatial awareness, spatial orientation and technical reasoning games cover the orientation and comprehension subtests, and the multitasking, instrument monitoring and hand-eye-foot coordination games build the divided-attention control the coordination blocks demand. For the CPP, answer honestly and consistently — taking the Big Five test here first gives you an accurate picture of your own profile before a selection psychologist reads it. Book your EPST date only once your practice trends have plateaued at a level you are happy with.
