New Zealand ATTTO purchase ADAPT Pre-Screen

The Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation (ATTTO) is New Zealand’s industry training organisation (ITO) for the travel, tourism, aviation and museum sectors. Working with these industries, the government funded organisation develops sector relevant qualifications, delivers high quality training and promotes career development through NZSkillsConnect.

As part of their work to assist the aviation industry in improving pilot training outcomes, the ATTTO have selected ADAPT Pre-Screen to act as the engine behind this initiative. Incorporated as a two tier screening process, the tool will enable flight schools and applicants to assess a candidate’s success potential and employability as a pilot prior to a training commitment.

Cognisant of the expense required to qualify as a pilot in New Zealand, the programme has been designed to ensure that trainees have the best possible chance of being successful and completing the course. Identifying aptitude and trainability prior to enrolment (through this national standard) signifies the Minister’s intent to ensure the highest standards are met and confidence in government funded scholarship is upheld.

Deploying ADAPT Pre-Screen has the potential to reduce costs by screening out those who are less likely to succeed in training. The pre-screening tool is a reliable indicator of whether a student will be able to demonstrate confidence and effective learning strategies during the early stages of flight training. It is NOT a pass or fail test but enables training providers and airlines to make a select/not select decision based on whether the prospective student has the right cognitive, physical and multi-tasking skills required of pilots.

With low operational costs, en-masse assessment and validated results; the tool delivers a reliable, repeatable, and immediate solution to meet the needs of the ATTTO.
