I applied for the assesment thats coming up. Ill start off by introducing myself. My name is rahul,im 20yrs old & im currently study at uni doing computing, something which im not very keen on doing. I have always had a real passion for flying. I wanted to start this as soon as possible.
I have no a-levels, which is i heard is badly needed in the aviation field. I really want to pursue this as a career.
I am saving up for the costs for the course. Is thier anyway into becoming a pilot WITHOUT having A-levels.
If i was to gain my PPL could i use that towards the Intergrated Course?
Would Gaining a PPL have any benefits at all?
Without sounding rude, I really do think you should research a lot before you risk a hell of a lot of money training for something you have limited knowledge of. As long as you have a licence airlines will not care. However, that's if anyone's hiring this time next year, and one very much doubts anyone will be. It isn't as simple as training and getting a job, it really is a long hard slog.
I recommend you read up on integrated courses. You bypass gaining a PPL by doing one, hence a PPL will not count towards the course. It is advisable however to get some flying experience before starting (if you've not flown light aircraft before) as a lot of people realise flying really isn't for them having thrown away £60, 000+!
