Pilot training
Our pilot training programmes equip you with all the knowledge and flying skills you need to launch a career as a commercial pilot or private pilot:
- Integrated ATPL - Our Integrated ATPL pilot training is designed to take you from little to no flying experience to fully qualified airline pilot in approximately 70 weeks
- Aviation degree with University of Central Lancashire - This University degree combined with pilot training prepares students for a career as a professional pilot and enables cadets to obtain two qualifications: an aviation degree and an ATPL
- Flexible ATPL - If you aren’t able to start a full-time 70 week Integrated ATPL, or if you want to complete pilot training alongside existing personal commitments, then this course offers you that flexibility.
- Modular ATPL - Helps you train to become a commercial pilot in your own time and at your own pace, no matter where you are in your training journey
- Private Pilot Licence - This pilot training enables you to secure your Private Pilot Licence so you can command a private aircraft with non-commercial passengers both day and night exercising visual flight rules (VFR)
