OxfordSaudia has recently begun using Symbiotics' ADAPT process to screen pilots for its flight program that culminates in an A320
Type Rating. We wanted a screening program that would remove subjectivity from our selection process and give our managers confidence
in the selection of our pilots. Working with the Symbiotics' team of professionals has been a smooth process and they continue to
support our staff with a quality effort. They present the results in a clear and easy to understand way allowing us to make decisions
quickly and efficiently. The comprehensive set of exams allow for a full understanding of the potential of each candidate. They quickly
respond to questions or concerns prior to, during or after each exam regardless of the remote location and time zone we operate from.
We would highly recommend their product or process for any school or airline looking to ensure the highest quality candidate for the airlines.
Vinpearl Air selected ADAPT because we know many airlines in the world, as well as our training partner CAE, use this tool from
Symbiotics for professional pilot screening. The ADAPT reports will help us to know more about our students and we use this to
brief them and their parents about their capability to become professional pilots. ADAPT is used to recommend candidates most
likely to graduate from training school before they commence pilot training.
Since I took over FlyBy in May 2015, I understood how important is to give proper and honest feedback to potential pilots about their prospects both, to being able to complete the training but even more importantly, so determine if they were a good fit for the industry. Our aspiring pilots required to take the admission tests from anywhere in the world. We now have over 76 different nationalities represented in the school. Symbiotics has proven to be an excellent tool to evaluate the aspiring pilots abilities and skills, and therefore to make sure they have taken action to improve their skill before joining the flight training. Yes, It has also been very good in identifying applicants that were not a good fit. Despite how hard it is to tell someone that it is not advisable to continue pursuing their childhood dream, we believe it is way better than letting them spend the fortune pilot training costs nowadays. This has proven of incredible value to us as a flight school, but more importantly, to our aspiring pilots.
Thank you very much for a very valuable and well executed report interpretation session. This means we can now better understand and use the ADAPT report output as part of our Instructor recruitment process. I very much look forward to working with Symbiotics to make sure we have an optimum fit between CAE FiiN (Flight Instructor Initiative) pillars and our ADAPT tests.
You guys are professionals and the customer support was great. Thank you
