Selection Services
COMPASS™ selection system consists of two Parts which can run as a series of modules but we suggest that they are run as two parts in order to provide the candidate with a break between the Parts. The first part is the ability and flying aptitude test COMPASS™ or Advanced Compass™. The second part is the COMPASS™ Personality Profile (CPP).
