Due to the fact that the number of applicants exceeded 200, a pre-selection test was conducted by GATE Aviation Training APS in collaboration with the Committee, after which the top candidates were tested with the FEAST test.
The pre-selection test covered three modules – English language, Spatial Reasoning and Critical Thinking. M-NAV`s Committee established for selecting candidates took part in the process and was monitoring the entire process which was conducted at a location provided by the Economic Operator (FEIT). The pre-selection test was taken on a computer and the results were received electronically immediately after the test was completed. According to the results obtained from the pre-selection test, a ranking list was made of all candidates who appeared for the test and took the test, a total of 225 candidates.
In accordance with the Action Plan, the top candidates from the pre-selection, continued to be tested with FEAST test (I, II, III). 166 candidates took the FEAST I test and 55 candidates out of the total number passed the test. 13 candidates out of 55 passed the FEAST II test.
