The Recruitment Centre is comprised of the Aviation Medical Clinic, where applicants will receive a medical test to investigate whether they are fit to fly, as well as the pilot aptitude and psychometric assessment room to identify those with the right temperament to fly.
The main building hosts 36 classrooms. Each classroom is equipped with two 84” touchscreens, running bespoke training software created for EFTA by Boeing.
