The aim of the Guild's Bursary Programme is to assist an individual who might not otherwise have the necessary resources to achieve their Certificate.
Instrument Rating Instructor (up to £2,500)
The criteria for successful applications include:
- ability to demonstrate a serious ambition to pursue a career as a Flying Instructor
- availability to undertake and complete the training award within the prescribed (agreed) time
- ability to satisfy the relevant EASA medical standard to enable the issue of the appropriate Certificate and any relevant EASA pre course entry requirements
Any additional experience beyond the minimum required will be viewed favourably.
Interviews do not form part of the selection process.
Candidates will be notified of results by the end of April 2013. The successful candidate will be sent details of the award, together with the full terms and conditions, for formal acceptance.
The Guild will expect training to be carried out at an Approved Training Organisation in the UK and completed by the end of September 2013.
In some circumstances, we may accept applications retrospectively for Certificates completed within the previous 12 months.
Candidates should be aware that the selection committee may also seek verbal references from the flying schools noted on your application form.
The awards are made by a Selection Committee appointed by the Guild.
Candidates must:
- Be an unrestricted Instructor
- Preferably be working as a full-time Instructor
- Meet the pre-entry requirements for the Certificate as set out in Part-FCL/CAP 804
