Our Aviation Interview Practice sessions are designed to last up to two hours, which will include a mock interview session alongside feedback and developmental advice with a member of our psychology team. The questions will be similar to those that you may get asked in an aviation interview setting, and whilst some of the questions may try and focus on your preferred organisation, if applicable, the advice and framework are for general support. The feedback is issued throughout the entire call. After purchasing you will have 3 months to complete your Interview Practice session.
Practice interview slots are offered within UK working hours. We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks ahead of your real interview to allow sufficient time to complete the session and implement any feedback.

Advice from our Psychologists
The opportunity to practice for an interview provides several benefits. A mock interview helps to reduce your stress and anxiety about the actual interview process, particularly if this is not something you have previously experienced. It will also provide you with constructive feedback, given in a supportive environment.
A member of our psychology team will help you to understand how you can present yourself to the optimum, and give you specific guidance based on your performance in the mock interview. The mock interview also prepares you for the sort of questions you can expect to encounter in the real situation, so that you can answer more readily at the real event.
However, we suggest you do not try to over-prepare your answers, as these can come across as lacking authenticity. Overall, the mock interview process is designed to boost your confidence when you get an interview with the company you want to work for or the school you want to attend.
