Hello Miguel,

Try airlines in Peru, see if they have cadet pilot programs. These should help you become a pilot (assuming there are cadet programs in Peru). Also try Etihad Airways (careers.etihadairways.com), they accept international candidates. But I suggest you know the licensing process first and a lot of industry and business news as some technical knowledge. Google them and you should find some info or try en.wikipedia.org. The competition is stiff, so you have to know a lot in order to pass interviews.

Basically, there are three types of licenses: Private Pilot License (PPL), Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL). Again search the internet to know more about each; try the EASA (Europe) or FAA (USA). They are the aviation regulating bodies for Europe and America and should have information on licensing.

Hope this helps!

Cheers
