Flight crew
To start training as a pilot you require a minimum of 5 GSCE’s and 2 A-levels. The training or the job does not require you to have a postgraduate qualification or a degree. Qualifications which require you any knowledge of mathematics and physics is good to obtain as piloting requires a good understanding of these.
To work as an airline pilot, you require a ‘Frozen ATPL (Airline transport pilot license)’ qualification, the license is unfrozen once you have completed a certain number of hours flying and have obtained the correct experience.
The job required training before you can obtain your licence. Training can be achieved in two ways; you can either do an integrated course which is an intensive full time course of 18 months. This training programme scheme will provide students from 0 hours of training to the required hours so they can unfreeze their ATPL’s.
The second is a modular training scheme. Modular training is more for those students who can’t afford the integrated course which costs around£ 80-90,000. To carry out the modular training you require a private pilot license and have 150 flying hours before you start the flying aspect of the course. The job starts off as a co-pilot and you can progress on to being a first officer which is one of the high ranks of being a pilot.
