Preparing for a Cadet Pilot Program?
Airline and candidate-sponsored cadet programs are a major pathway into aviation careers worldwide. Applications typically include behavioural and technical interviews, aptitude testing, group exercises, scenario-based assessments, and simulator stages.
At Prepared Consultancy Australia, we take the time to understand your life experience, work history, and ambitions — drawing on your story to highlight the attributes aviation professionals are known for.
Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Program
One of the most competitive cadet pathways in the Asia-Pacific region. We help candidates prepare for every stage of the Cathay selection process, from initial application through to final interview. An impressive success rate is seen amongst our candidates.
Qantas Group Pilot Academy — Initial Application and Accelerate Interview
Australia's flagship cadet pathway involves two distinct selection stages. We support candidates as they achieve success at both pivotal points in the journey:
- Initial application — the competitive selection process at the start of the course, before training begins.
- Accelerate end-of-course interview — the final interview and assessment centre at the conclusion of training, where candidates are evaluated for airline employment.
Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Flying Career?
Your first airline role is a pivotal moment. Australia's aviation industry currently offers many opportunities — and understanding both what you bring and what each opportunity offers is critically important.
We support CPL holders, general-aviation pilots, first-airline-role candidates, and experienced pilots considering promotion or career change — helping you prepare and make the best choice for your circumstances.

Highly personalised — the coaching was tailored to my specific background and the program I was applying for. I'd recommend it to any pilot serious about their career.
