ATPL

Hey. I have just finished my A Levels and I am going to the OAT selection process for the APP course on 1st September. This course is zero to frozen ATPL.

To get through the initial selecton (internet application), I think you have to have at least 5 GCSE's at C or above. I acheived 10, but continued and earned one AS Level and 3 A Levels. This is obviously not really to get on a training programme as min req's are 5 GCSE's. However, when you sit infront of BA/BMI/MyTravel etc... chief pilots, they are probably going to have plenty of applicants for each job offer. What I am saying is you want as many "strings to your bow" as possible (sports teams etc...) and I hope showing application with GCSE's and A Levels will only benefit that!

Sorry if I am repeating anything that has already been said.

Matt
