in Arabic-language newspapers invite interested applicants to
attend a Job Fair held at the College. At the Job Fair, applicants
and members of their families are able to view exhibits and
video presentations about the different training programmes,
and members of staff from the different departments are available
to answer questions and offer advice. |

Registration Section, where they must present:
• a completed application form

• a copy of their passport information pages
• a photocopy of their national I. D. card
• a stamped signed copy of their secondary school

QAC Entry
Test
The Entry Test is conducted over a single morning - usually
from 7am to 1:30pm. It consists of one paper in Mathematics, and
four papers in English Language.
Candidates are not allowed to use calculators during the tests, and all
communication devices (e.g. mobile phones, pagers) must be left
outside the examination hall.
Applicants who perform satisfactorily in the Entry Test are
then contacted by telephone and invited to attend an interview
board.
Interview Board
An interview board lasts from five to twenty minutes per applicant.
Interviewers usually include the Director of Academic Affiars and Registration, the Chief Instructor from the relevant
department and representatives from the sponsoring body (e.g.
Qatar Airways, Qatar Civil Aviation Authority), the Head English
Language Teaching Department and the Administration.
At the interview, applicants should demonstrate a high level
of interest in the aviation industry, evidence of a strong technical
background, and understanding of the nature of the work they
will be training for. They may be asked to perform simple aptitude
tests relating to their chosen field.
Candidates for Pilot Training and Air Traffic Controller Training
must successfully pass a Colour Vision Test at interview.
|
Provisional Offers
A few days after the interviews, successful applicants will
receive a provisional offer by telephone. Such an offer is conditional
on the applicant passing any required medical examination.
Candidates for the Pilot Training Programme and the Air Traffic
Controller Training Programme must pass the appropriate ICAO
medical examination before their admission can be confirmed.
Only a limited number of places are available on QAC courses
each year, so it is inevitable that some applicants can be
disappointed. The applicants which are not selected the first time may reapply in subsequent
years as long as they remain eligible in terms of age.
An Orientation Meeting for new trainees is held in the week
before classes begin. This meeting offers both an initial welcome
to Qatar Aeronautical College and an introduction to its main
rules and regulations.
Accommodation
Accommodation is available on the College campus by arrangement.
Students stay in an individual room with own bathroom, in an
air-conditioned flat shared with other students. Cable TV is
provided, as well as facilities for washing and ironing clothes.
Three meals a day are provided in the College cafeteria.
