Jetstar has selected two preferred suppliers to deliver the cadet pilot programs - CTC Aviation and Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA). Also, there are two entry pathways for the Jetstar cadet program - Ab-Initio Program and Advanced Cadet Program. For more details, please click on Jetstar Pilot Cadet Program.

TESTIMONIALS

Tony Hicks

Captain - Airbus A330 - Australian Low Cost Carrier

Former Cathay Pacific A330/A340 Captain

Former Singapore Airlines Learjet 45 Instructor Pilot

Aircraft Flown: Airbus A330 , Airbus A340 , Boeing 747, Learjet 45

 

"In late 2006 I applied for a position with an Australian international carrier. I soon realized I was going to need some help if I was to pass the psychometric testing required by this airline. I contacted PATS and spoke to Jonathan Ryan, who was most helpful with a course date, accommodation and transport to and from his office. His two day course was comprehensive, the content was excellent, and his hints on how to pass the various exercises were invaluable. It is no exaggeration to say that without his coaching, I wouldn't be in my present position as a Captain of a wide-body aircraft. I would highly recommend Jonathan Ryan and his employer - PATS - for anyone who seeks an aviation career in an  airline, or the military." Tony Hicks

Captain - Airbus A320 - Australian Low Cost Carrier

"Prior to being offered a contract by my present employer I attended a two day PATS course in Melbourne to prepare for the aptitude testing component of selection. The course assisted me immensely with my preparation for selection testing and I think it is a must for anyone who is serious about getting the job. PATS staff also gave me invaluable advice in preparing for the interview - which was a great help and also a real confidence booster. Many pilots at my airline (Captains and First Officers) have told me that they also attended a PATS course and that they believe the course was the only reason they passed selection testing."

Senior Check Captain - Boeing 737 - Major Australian Airline

Aircraft Flown: Boeing 737 , Boeing 747-400

"As a Senior Check Captain I often get asked for advice on how to best prepare for selection testing by both direct entry and cadet applicants.  I would strongly endorse and recommend the PATS training program to all applicants - primarily because I have sat in on the course and witnessed the success rate of people I know who attended. The course I sat in on was first class in terms of the computer presentation and the technical knowledge and skill of the instructor - it is one of the best courses I have seen and I have attended many courses during my career to date. I know dozens of people who have attended this course and are now flying at my airline or completing the cadet pilot training program - which is a result that speaks for itself."
