Flight Simulator Assessment Preparation
Our individually-tailored training sessions are designed to support your preparation for an airline simulator assessment, and gain the necessary confidence and skills to achieve your desired airline job.
We are experienced in many of the common airline assessment profiles or we can help you prepare for any profiles that you provide to us in readiness for the training session. We are not here to judge you on your skills, but to help you and give you all the support you need to prepare. For those without an MCC qualification, we also offer Intensive Simulator Assessment Preparation.

Customer feedback
“I was phoned by Ryanair 2 days ago informing that I was successful in the assessment and they have offered me a type rating starting in June. I certainly think my time in the sim at cambridge helped a huge way towards this success. Thanks very much. ”
“I found this experience very helpful. At the assessment I was very confident with the airplane thanks to the hours I did with VA. The instructor has been extremely helpful, I remain impressed from his professionalism. Thanks to VA I got the job!”
“As an experienced pilot I booked a refresher session to prepare myself for an airline selection process after not having flown for a while. The instructor fully understood my needs, tailored the session to exactly what I needed and demonstrated very good instructional technique in ensuring that I got the maximum value from the session. The session made a really big difference to personal performance at the airline selection day, not only in my flying accuracy but also in my confidence and awareness of what I was doing which really helped me relax and perform successfully. The session was well worth doing and I would recommend the training event to experienced pilots seeking a refresher as well as young chaps developing their skills.”
Price List
Our Airbus A320 and Boeing 737-800 type-specific simulators are used to conduct APS MCC and aircraft Type Rating training; representing exceptional value for money compared to using full motion simulators, as the controls and systems are identical. A number of airlines use our simulators to conduct their own pilot assessments.
