V1 prepared me thoroughly for my…

V1 prepared me thoroughly for my final airline assessment through multiple tailored training sessions including a very helpful 1-on-1 interview simulation.

V1 is the best option for candidates wanting to be as ready as they can be for a variety of aviation assessments.

The training is very effective and unique in that it is very personal, tailored to your needs and highly interactive.

Recommend!

Successful KLM Assessment

For my KLM selection process, I got in touch with V1 Training, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. They provided me with valuable tips and practical guidance to prepare optimally for the assessment.

During the training, you gain clear insight into what to expect and how to prepare effectively. They provide concrete tools that allow you to work independently and significantly increase your chances of success through focused practice.

What truly sets V1 Training apart is their personal and dedicated approach. Even after completing the course, you can still reach out to them with questions. That level of support and guidance really makes the difference. I highly recommend V1 Training to anyone preparing for a selection process.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Truly Supportive Coaching

I came across V1 last summer on social media. At that time, they had been in the field for just under a year, but from the first contact to the last, it was clear they were the best in their field. The amount of professionalism, dedication, and knowledge they have is simply incredible.
I was applying for the position of First Officer at KLM and wanted preparation for the selection tests. I followed a 3-hour prep course that included tips and tricks, behavioral questions, and a mock exercise similar to what I would face during the actual selection. Even beyond the course, I felt looked after throughout all stages of the selection process. Their guidance and tips were key to my success at the KLM selection, and I will always be immensely grateful for their support.
What really sets V1 apart is their personalized guidance, which made them the best choice for me. If you’re serious about your airline career, I would highly recommend starting with V1, they prepare you not just for the tests, but for confidence throughout the entire selection process. Thanks to them, I achieved my dream job at my dream airline, and I have nothing but appreciation for their work.

Tailored and personal training for (first) pilot job.

The open and tailored approach during the training helped me to undergo the assessments with more confident and knowledge. They help you to understand the way of hiring, related to each airliner, and go more deeply into the process.

Without this preparation, I would never had the opportunity to have more “insight” into the HR part of the selections and the different methods.

I can truly say that this training was part to be successful in finding my first pilot job. Thank you for the support!

Experience at V1 Training & Coaching.

After graduating from flight school with no prior work experience, I had no idea how to begin preparing for an airline interview. V1 Training & Coaching provided a mini-group course that offered extensive background information—not only due to the instructor’s own experience, but also thanks to their large network of actively flying commercial pilots. The sources they use and the advice they provide are highly reliable.

Even after the course, they remained available for support via email or phone. I remember having a long and encouraging phone conversation that motivated me to keep searching for job opportunities, even after facing some setbacks.

I can confidently say that V1 Training & Coaching played a significant role in helping me land my first airline job. I’ve now been flying as a commercial pilot in Belgium for two years, and I still look back on that experience very positively.

I strongly recommend following this course

I strongly recommend following this job hunting course!

The course is really well prepared and structured. Bob gave me a lot of insider tricks that I would never have thought about but which helped me to pass the selections in different airlines. The course is interactive and Bob keeps time to give personalized tips and corrections to each participant. My cover letter and cv were, as such, much more professional after the course.

The group exercise was according to me a really valuable part as I didn't know much about it before coming to the course, but thanks to Bob's tricks it went well during the selection and I knew beforehand what airlines generally expect in this kind of situation.

I also liked the fact that he invited me to keep in touch with him to still help me in my job hunting after the course, he gave me several times feedback about my motivation letter. Those were really constructive and responses were very quick.

Last but not least, Bob was really friendly and encouraging! The course motivated me even more for the job seeking process.

Thanks for it!

Excellent coaching by Bob

Being graduated as a fresh pilot, there are a lot of unknowns about the next steps taking you to the right hand seat.

Bob took the opportunity to guide me through every single step of the application process as so I could prepare well for any opportunity and give me tips and tricks how to excell better than someone else.

Having interview experience and airline knowledge, Bob has a better insight in what (specific) airlines are looking for. He can give you tailored advice when applying to a given airline, being a big bonus when you have to undergo this as well.

After being thoroughly prepared by Bob, I felt comfortable about every step of the selection process and was able to succeed to a position as First Officer.

Selection training

I was called for a selection relatively short notice in 2022 for my first Airline and reached out to Bob to assist me. He was not only very flexible, he also immediately digged very deep into that airline in order to give the best coaching possible.

Because of his help I felt very confident during my assesment, and not long after I finished it, I received the wonderful news that I landed my first flying job.

I carried onwards the many tips he gave me in that course and actually managed to join one of my dream airlines 2 years after.

I can only recommend this service and seriously can’t thank Bob enough for helping me start my carreer.

Excellent Preparation for Airline Pilot Interview!

I had the pleasure of working with Bob for an HR training session in preparation for my pilot job application, and I couldn’t be more grateful. He provided excellent tips and tricks that were incredibly helpful during my interview process. What really stood out was his deep understanding of how different airlines approach recruitment—this allowed him to tailor his advice specifically to my situation. Thanks to his support, I felt well-prepared and confident. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take the next step in their aviation career!

Excellent confidence builder

Bob’s preparation training has helped me tremendously to be able to approach the selections with increased confidence. Personal, individual working points were tackled in a very open and honest atmosphere, with practical tips on how to address them during an interview. As a result, I got selected for 3 airlines simultaneously, giving me a luxury few cadet pilots will experience. I can only recommend the course to anyone who has an airline selection in the near future.

New chapter preparations

Got in contact with Bob to prepare for a big step in my career advancement. Meetings were quickly scheduled and adapted to my roster, which was great! Bob was easily approachable, quick to reply and adapted his way of explaining things to my personal needs. Every step of the assessment was prepared very thoroughly, and Bob followed up every few days for updates on my own progress as well as to provide tips and advice. Stress was a big factor for me and the handles provided were extremely helpful! Big props to Bob for always being available for questions, no matter how small.

First assessment passed!

Got in contact with V1 after I got invited for my first airline assessment. Received an answer pretty fast and we managed to adjust the coaching based on my busy work schedule. Long story short: the assessment went really smooth and without any problems so I got hired by the LHG and I’ll start my type rating on the A320 next month!

I got V1 recommended by my best friend since I was looking to apply at another airline.

After attending the V1 classroom training I was very impressed about the teachers. Their extensive knowledge of the airline industry and their way of coaching and unlimited support definitely helped me to succeed my airline interview.

I would recommend this course to every pilot looking to prepare for the airline interview!
