Aptitude is one part of selection
CAE's programme information describes application screening, computer-based aptitude assessment using ADAPT, and group exercise and interview elements. Published aptitude areas include motor coordination, spatial skills, maths and technical reasoning, and managing concurrent tasks.
easyJet's September 2026 announcement confirms the continuing Generation easyJet partnership with CAE. Other easyJet training partnerships also exist; this guide covers the CAE programme.
Use official familiarisation first
ADAPT is configurable for different clients and programmes. Symbiotics provides its own familiarisation and practice products. If your invitation directs you to those materials, use them to learn the format and technical setup before adding independent skill practice.
Check the current programme conditions
Eligibility, fees, training location and the exact assessment arrangements must be checked with CAE. The public description is not a guarantee that every intake uses an identical combination, timing or selection threshold. Keep technical controls simple in early practice, then increase the workload after the inputs feel natural.
Give your preparation a structure
Start with the free test and review the explanations for errors. Choose one skill for a focused session, practise without time pressure until you understand the method, then add a timer. Keep a short record of errors caused by calculation, misreading, recall or time pressure.
Use assessment-day practice to work on sustained attention and task switching after the individual skills feel familiar. Review accuracy and pace separately. FlightDeck's original tasks provide practice feedback; the programme's own familiarisation should guide your understanding of its assessment.
