My only real gripe with doing my PPL early is that if I do have to pay for it myself (the whole training for ATPLS), I would have to pay again to do it if I did an integrated course.
Is there anything else I can do to stand out, I am trying to get aviation based work experiences and virtual experiences, and have been to BA's Future Flyer Seminar
Sounds like you’ve already got some great experience, and those are really strong A‑Level choices too!
I’d also recommend trying to find some volunteering. It can be a bit challenging to find opportunities sometimes but emailing local airfields, aircraft museums or even events has worked really well for me. It’s a great way to get some more experience and network on top of general work experience.
