De KLM "proef" met EPST piloten is zeer geslaagd
De proef met de eerste 15 EPST studenten welke na de volledige EPST piloten opleiding naar de KLM zijn gegaan is met succes afgesloten. De status "proef" als leverancier voor KLM is verwijderd waardoor EPST vanaf nu een vaste leverancier van de KLM is. Naar behoefte van KLM kunnen EPST studenten zich eventueel voor dit traject bij EPST aanmelden. |

EPST announces two new COMPASS modules.
Two new COMPASS modules are developed by EPST in order to enhance COMPASS by responding to the requirements of the EPST COMPASS clients. The two modules are:
- A module on Aviation-English.
This module is specifically developed for the ab-initio COMPASS version in order to assess the English ability of the candidate. The result of this test in combination with standard license training will predict the candidate’s ability to pass the ICAO level 4 English requirements when this comes into force in 2008.
- Verbal reasoning.
This is a psychometric COMPASS module designed to test the candidate’s ability to understand, analyze and logically interpret written information. This is an important element of the pilot and future pilot skills.
The two modules are a major improvement to EPST's COMPASS and are available to all current COMPASS users without additional charges.

EPST will provide its pilots with ATC introduction training
EPST will provide its pilots with an introduction to ATC activities. In order to accomplish this, EPST has recently signed an Agreement with NLR to obtain the NARSIM system from NLR. This system has been successfully used to train ATC students for the Dutch ATC organization (LvnL).
We are providing cockpit introduction to Air Trafic Controllers very successfully and we felt that this awareness of each others activities and related issues should work both ways” according to Dick Verburg, Managing Director of EPST.
”In addition to our unique management training provided by the Nyenrode Business University, we are now adding this very valuable additional training to our pilot training syllabus”. “This will further enhance the global experience of the EPST trained pilots” according to Verburg. |
