Bristow academy is a commercial flight school like any other. The basic qualification will be, can you pass the initial class 1 medical, and, fund the course, all the way to multi engine IR if you want to work offshore in the uk. This is a considerable sum of money and does not guarantee a job afterwards. But having been to the academy is a requirement for Bristow in the North Sea unless you have a minimum number of multi engine hours.
One of the hardest things to do for any new pilot is to stand out from the crowd in a pile of cvs. Having an 'in' is one way to at least get to the selection process, and having a parent in your position I would say is a help.
