Emirates Pilot Recruitment Process
The Emirates fleet currently consists of Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s, though this may change in upcoming years as A380s are no longer being produced.
Pilots can apply as captains or first officers. There is also an accelerated command track if you do not have quite enough hours to apply as a direct entry captain. Emirates runs a National Cadet Pilot Programme to train pilots with zero experience or flight hours, but it is open to U.A.E nationals only.

Emirates Open Days for Aspiring Flight Attendants
If you are a candidate for Emirates Cabin Crew, your recruitment process will go through an assessment centre. These can be open days, to which you can turn up unannounced with an ID and a well-written CV, or closed assessment days, to which you will receive an invitation after submitting an application and CV on the Emirates career page.
These days usually feature multiple elimination rounds. If you make it to the end, be prepared to spend an entire day at the recruitment centre. Sometimes it can even take multiple days. if you are shortlisted, you will have a final interview. If not, you will have to wait six months to reapply. You will be asked to fill out an online form, participate in group exercises, and take the Emirates English test. You can read more about it on our dedicated Emirates Cabin Crew page.
Free Emirates Saville Test – Amp Your Performance With Saville Sample Question [2024]
Emirates Saville - Abstract Sample Question
Question #1:
Which of the following completes the sequence?
Answer #1:
The correct answer is:
There are two rules in this series: frequency and progression.
First, the symbol at the centre alternates between having a dark-blue filling and having no filling with every step. It also changes from a + sign to an X sign every third step, such that each symbol appears twice in a row.
Second, a small square is added to each of the corners at every step until there are three on each side. Then, a square is removed from each corner until there is only one square on each side again. This means the missing frame should have a white plus sign, with one square on each frame side.
Tip: if you think you've figured out what the pattern might be, your next step should be to scan the answers and eliminate whichever ones don't match the rule. If more than one option remains after elimination, or no option remains, it is time to go back to the drawing board and seek out another possible pattern.
The Emirates Abstract Test is challenging for a number of reasons, not least of which is self-doubt. It can often lead to candidates wasting precious time going back and forth testing various theories instead of maintaining a calm and relaxed demeanour. This is why it usually helps to practice these questions, or similar ones, beforehand. You can dp this with our Emirates PrepPack.

Emirates Saville - Verbal Sample Question
Read the following passage:
Companies wishing to increase their growth rate occasionally employ the method of franchising, which provides a new owner with a permit to use their business identity and, in return, they purchase products exclusively from the company. However, today most companies aim to minimise the use of this method and often prefer the expansion of the companies' own branches. Companies that have previously used franchising have learnt the necessity of monitoring the business operation of the franchised branch. Inadequate attention to the monitoring of franchisees on the part of the companies was typically the cause of sundry problems. Difficulties arose from franchisees and companies disagreeing on business policies such as customer care, service delivery efficiency and quality of human interaction.
Question #2:
Which one of the following reflects a problem related to lack of monitoring?
Tip: Many candidates find it useful to read the question before the passage. This way, your reading of the passage is more efficient, as you are actively looking for the answer, committing to memory segments that may be relevant while quickly browsing over segments that are less likely to contain the solution.
Verbal comprhension tests are often overlooked by candidates practising for pre-employment aptitude tests, especially those who consider English their native and primary language. It is worth noting that the companies that produce these tests often have their ways of making questions difficult by being ambiguous or vague. Our PrepPack contains focused practice for Saville Verbal tests used by Emirates.
