Yes 6 of them (at least)

A handful of vocational degrees are also essential (Law, Medicine and Dentistry a must).

On top of this, if you wish to get a even a look in with certain low-cost carriers, a Masters on you CV will just about get you through the 1st interview door.

Without the above and a back catalogue of A*'s at GCSE as well as proof that your were a school prefect you have absolutely no chance.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards

PS. if this seems like a tall order, you may wish to have a wee look at the numerous threads regarding Further/Higher Education and aviation careers.

What on gods earth are you smoking?

I wouldn't listen to him he is either messing around or on something...

Most places will only accept a levels on the application, min is normally 2 C's at a level. Play safe and do 3. ICT is a good one to get as you need to look to the future (and its easy to get an A)

Best bet is to do 2 years of a levels, resit any GCSE's that you may of messed up and during your school time do 1 lesson a week towards your PPL and you'll have it easily in the 2 years.

Then in theory you have the best of both worlds and a better chance of getting a carreer in aviation!

good luck with it, Nathan.
