Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL)
The Generation easyJet Multi Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) Training Programme is a competency-based training programme that is designed specifically for easyJet. You will be selected and mentored by the easyJet team right from the start of the programme. The course includes aircraft-type-specific training on CAE’s Airbus A320 Flight Training Devices (FTD) and Full Flight Simulators (FFS). This will then be followed by Base and line training with easyJet, joining the airline as a co-pilot on the Airbus A320 upon successfully completing the course.
CAE has been delivering training equipment and services for easyJet pilots since 1995, in addition to developing professional pilots across its training network. In 2010, easyJet selected CAE as its launch partner for its Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) training programme. To date, CAE has trained and delivered more than 1,200 pilots through the easyJet MPL, Integrated ATPL and type-rating training programmes for the airline.

The joint CAE and easyJet selection process is in 3 stages as follows:
The CAE assessment team will review all candidate applications and check whether they successfully meet the entry requirements for Generation easyJet. Successful candidates through this stage will be invited to begin the Pilot Aptitude Testing.
Applicants who successfully pass the first stage of the selection process will be invited to attend the next stage of the CAE selection, which will take place virtually or at a CAE location in Europe.
The assessment day will cover:
Selection Stage 3: Group Activity & Personal Interview
Upon passing the above stages, you will be offered a position as an easyJet MPL cadet and a training advisor will be in touch to inform you of the available start dates. Please note, your assessment results will be valid for ONE year.
Alternatively, if you are unsuccessful in the assessment process, you may still be eligible to start on CAEs Integrated ATPL programme with the option to re assess for easyJet upon completion of your training
*Depending on your nationality, you may have to provide an Official English Language Certificate
No, successful applicants do not have the option to defer a place on a training course for a year. The successful cadets must be able to commence training in the same year that they receive the offer of a place.
You do not need previous flying experience to apply.
No, but to start training, a cadet pilot must hold a valid Class 1 medical certificate.
No. This programme is designed to identify cadets for an ab-initio training programme that must be completed in its entirety. Individuals already holding a CPL/IR or ATPL or those who have already completed any of the 14 ATPL theoretical knowledge examinations may not apply. Individuals who already have more than 200 flying hours also cannot apply for this programme.
If you were not successful in previous phases of application for the Generation easyJet Pilot Training Programme you can apply again.
CAE and easyJet are looking for applicants whose natural aptitude, educational background and life experience have prepared them for the demands of the course and the profession of commercial airline pilot. We therefore recommend that you expose yourself to as many life experiences as possible that would help you to develop skills in the main pilot competencies:
Applicants should learn as much about easyJet as they can by researching the company and becoming familiar with their ethos, values, bases, fleet, timeliness record, financial performance and management structure, etc.
If you have been out of formal education for a few years, it would also be worth revising mathematics and physics at high school level.
Symbiotics and CAE have teamed up to provide you with a series of resources to help you ahead of your cadet assessment which you can find on https://www.symbioticsltd.com/caeCandidates
Assessment for the Generation easyJet Pilot Training Programme is free of charge.
On completion of each stage of the selection process, CAE will advise all applicants by email whether they have been successful or unsuccessful. The successful group will then be advised of arrangements for the next stage.
