What does Pilot Interview Training cover?
Pilot Interview Training (P.I.T.) is dedicated to training airplane pilots to succeed in job interviews, with the biggest airlines in the world. You’ll learn the latest questions to expect in the interview, how to answer standard interview questions and TMAT questions, and with our answer techniques and expert insights, we’ll work together to improve the quality & delivery of your answers. We’ll simulate full pilot interviews with you and give you instant feedback to improve.
Who is P.I.T. For?
P.I.T. is for all pilots, both non-native English speakers and native English speakers, who want to improve their interview skills and answer quality, to go into their interview feeling confident they will succeed. You don’t have to have an interview booked, you just need to be ready to train. We work with Captains and First Officers, helping them to prepare technically and mentally for the biggest interviews of their careers.
How did you start training pilots for interviews?
With my background in Psychology, Communication Coaching, Recruitment, Interview Coaching, and Executive English, I had an ideal combination of experience, skills, and resources to apply my expertise to Pilot interview training. Plus, I have had a certain proximity to aviation for a long time because I have multiple family members and friends who are commercial airline pilots.
In 2021 I was contacted by a pilot who saw that I was a successful interview coach, and he asked me if I could prepare him for his pilot interview with Emirates. I did a lot of research into pilot interviews, the questions, what airline interviewers want to hear, and what they don’t want to hear, and I agreed to help. He succeeded in his interview and he now works at Emirates. He passed my contact details to his friends and colleagues and since then, I have worked with many pilots, both Captains and First Officers, helping them to pass their interviews with an exceptionally high success rate. Every pilot I have worked with, has been referred to me by a past client.
What airlines do you help pilots interview with?
This program is effective for all airlines, because the interview skills and answer techniques we teach, are applicable and effective for any airline, regardless of the questions asked. However, most of our experience is in training pilots for interviews with some of the biggest and best airlines in the world, such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad.
How do you know what questions will be asked?
Like most pilots preparing for their interview, I do my research. In addition to this, every pilot I work with gives me ffedback on the interview, the questions asked, any follow-up questions, and how friendly and open the interview was. With this instant, up to date feedback and my constant program development, I prepare pilots for the most relevant and frequently asked questions. That said, our answer techniques, will prepare you to confidently answer any question, even if it is one you weren’t expecting.
How many sessions do I need? When should I start?
These are hard questions to answer because they depend on multiple factors, such as:
- Your current interview skills.
- Your preparedness.
- Your level of confidence in interviews.
- The quality of your answer content for regular and TMAT questions.
- How well you currently deliver and explain your answers.
- How much time you have before your interview date (if already booked).
Long story short, I’ll help you as much as I possibly can, in the most effective way possible, and in the shortest time possible. Obviously, the earlier you start preparing and practicing, the better. Ideally you would have at least 2-3 sessions, so we can simluate your interview, analyse and improve your answers and delivery, then practice and simulate again. However, I have worked with pilots for just 1 session, the day before their interview, and I have worked with pilots for 10+ sessions for total and near perfect preparation. So, let’s chat and see where you are and what you need.
My roster is very busy, can I still train for my interview with you?
Yes! I know that pilot rosters are demanding and sometimes unpredictable, especially if you need to cover additional flights for other pilots. We can book one session at a time, and if we need to reschedule, that’s not a problem.
Plus, I have now prepared an Online Pilot Interview Program to help busy Pilots study on the go, at your own pace. This will be available in 2025. Please contact me for more information on this.

What Pilots Say:
“I found Adam through a personal recommendation at a time when I was preparing for a major step in my career: to join as a Captain at a Major Airline. Adam brought structure, clarity, and confidence to my entire interview preparation. Thanks to our sessions, I felt much more confident going into the interview. My answers were sharper, better timed, and delivered with more fluency. I’m absolutely sure that the work we did together contributed directly to my success. I highly recommend Adam’s interview coaching to any pilot preparing for a major interview. His approach is thoughtful, effective, and tailored to the aviation world. And beyond that, he’s simply a great person to work with.” – Pedro, Captain
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Adam for all the classes he gave me to prepare me for the assessment with FlyDubai. His guidance, patience, and dedication were extremely important throughout my learning process. More than just teaching the keys, he gave me the confidence to express myself better and to keep improving every day. Adam, you played a key role in this journey, and I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.” – Rodolfo, Captain
“Good news! The interview was exactly those questions that we practiced. They sent me an email inviting me to go to Dubai for the next stage 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I gave your number to a friend, he’s on the process for Qatar.”” – Danilo, F.O.
“In short notice I contacted Adam and luckily got an appointment, I could only do one session before my interview. Adam was very professional and gave me very nice tips… I totally recommend doing some sessions with him to improve and get more confident for the interview.” – Alexandre, F.O.
“Thanks for the classes Adam!! Certainly was the best addition I had to my preparation for the interviews. Recently I’ve got the most awaited email on earth 😅 and would like to share this news with you as our sessions had a tremendous improvement in my preparation for the interviews in the assessments I’ve done. I hope you keep up with your great job, and continue helping others in achieving their objectives! Thank you for your help and dedication.” – Bruno, F.O.
“For me… it was excellent preparation for the interview! The questions were quite similar (I could say identical), and this helped me feel comfortable during the interview. The environment is normal, but when you’re under evaluation, you feel the pressure, so that’s the importance of being prepared… to minimize that impact. I believe the interview preparation was excellent. I felt much more comfortable knowing that I had practiced exactly the scenarios for the real situation! I’m confident in the result, and moreover, I can say that with your help, I delivered my best.” – Billyy, F.O.
“I am very grateful for the support I received during my interview preparation. Adam helped me improve my English pronunciation, which gave me much more confidence when speaking. He guided me in organizing my answers clearly and effectively, making sure I could communicate my ideas in a structured way. He also encouraged me to think from different perspectives on certain topics, which broadened my approach to answering questions. Additionally, he helped me recognize and avoid some phrases that were not ideal in an interview setting. Overall, his guidance was practical, insightful, and motivating, and it made a big difference in my preparation.” – Guilherme, F.O.
“You taught me during our session a lot of key elements about the format of the interview. Those elements made a huge impact in the outcome. Every aspect of your teachings were organized and helpful, making it a complete success! Thank you, Adam!” – Italo, F.O.
“Adam’s preparation was instrumental in my recent interview with Emirates. His training sessions were so thorough that many of the actual interview questions mirrored what we had practiced. More importantly, he taught me to structure my answers naturally, giving real examples and demonstrating confidence, which allowed me to engage openly with the interviewers.
What stood out most was Adam’s ability to anticipate areas where I might be challenged. We practiced not only clear and concise answers but also deeper follow-up points—exactly the type of exploration the interviewers pursued. This preparation helped me remain composed, positive, and fully engaged throughout the 40-minute interview, even when unexpected questions came up. Overall, Adam exceeded my expectations. His sessions were more challenging than the actual interview, which made me feel prepared, confident, and adaptable on the day. I truly appreciate his structured approach, attention to detail, and ability to combine technical accuracy with strong communication skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone preparing for high-stakes interviews.” – Ramon, F.O.
“Hello Adam, I really appreciated our talk today, and yes, it was very useful. I finished my interview a while ago, and I’m happy about my performance. Thank you very much for your time and the knowledge you’ve shared!” – Diego, F.O.
“Hello Adam, thank you for the amazing class today. The interview was good, very professional and at the same time very friendly.” – Rafael, F.O.
