QUOTE=CaptN;11504823]A few things from today's Q&A session:

- ​​Srictly 6 GCSEs or equivalent qualifications, nothing higher will be accepted ie if you had 5 GCSEs with no maths but had maths A-Level you won't be considered.

- Contractual bond for seven years.

- Applications must be completed by the end of the 25th.

- If you don't already have a Class 1 medical BA will fund it if you are successful.

- No deferred places.

- They are planning to reopen the scheme again in March 2024.

- Number of openings: 70.

- The course is for a full ATPL and not an MPL.
The course will get you a CPL with ATPL theory passed, often referred to as a frozen ATPL (CPL fATPL) as in your theory passes are frozen until you have enough hours to apply for an ATPL. An ATPL is what you can get once you have 1500 hours (some criteria about what those need to include) and is the licence you need to be Captain. Both MPL and CPL fATPL allow you to apply for an ATPL when you meet the criteria. The only difference is if you have an MPL, your ATPL will be restricted to multi pilot operations which can be removed with a few hours instruction in light aircraft.
