In order to work as an airline pilot you’ll need to get your Airline Transport Pilot Licence. This is what you will work towards while in a training programme in the UK, however you won’t get the actual licence until you start work with an airline.
These steps are the basic outline of what you will need to go through in order to start working for an airline as a first officer.
All training here refers to the Modular training pathway, we feel this offers the best value for money for you.
You’ll need your Private Pilot Licence in place to be accepted on to the course, so if you don’t already have this in place this is where you will start first, studying at a trusted partner around the UK and learning to fly and navigate a light aircraft.
Once you have this you’ll start ATPL theory right away. This can be distance learning or classroom based. This will take 9 months to complete.
You’ll need to build hours of flying experience in order to progress on to the next phase of training, this can either be taken alongside your ATPL theory or you will attend one of our centres once you have completed your ATPL theory.
By the end of this phase you should have :
When you have finished Phase 1 you will move to a Commercial Training Centre in the UK to complete the rest of your training. This phase of training can take 3-6 months depending on which of our trusted providers you use.
You’ll learn how to fly multi-engine aircraft in challenging situations, putting you through your paces to ensure you are well equipped for your future career as an airline pilot.
In this phase you will complete
You are now ready to look to enter the workforce, and the last course you’ll need to complete is the Multi-Crew Coordination Course (MCC). This 1-2 week course will prepare you for working as part of a 2 person team in the cockpit, ensuring the safety of your passengers and aircraft while working in a challenging environment.
Depending on your chosen airline you may also elect to take your Jet Orientation Course (JOC).
Once you have these in place you will be free to apply for an airline position in the UK.
