Flight school
Aptly said supercaptain.Flight training is more of a practical course in the long run,some university courses are more demanding but one thing for sure is that the short time frame one has to go through in flight school makes it more challenging,pilots are literally responsible for lives up there thats why a lot of emphasis is laid on proper training and competency.

there's always the option of training through the Kenya Armed Forces cadet recruitment,they train their cadets at 43 Air School,just make sure you enroll yourself in their next recruitment drive...but you will obviously have to work in the military for some time before going commercial.

joining the air force as an aircrew isn't a direct and easy process like the KQ one. its a long process and if you just want to get the experience in the air force, you might kind of be very very very disappointed...takes 2-3years to graduate form the military academy, before you convince another board to be considered a student pilot. but hey MAKMENDE can as well give it a try when the time comes

People wearing glasses
hey guys, i need to get something right here. when the KQ ab initio recruitment says that one of their requirements is "having good eyesight", does that mean that you have 20/20 vision without glasses or you can have corrective 20/20 glasses?
in case they dont offer to people with 20/20 glasses, can you apply for the direct entry if you wear glasses?

Ab initio is on, has been on since 4th January. the closing date is 28th January so I guess it's best if we start applying coz as they say, the earlier the better.

Go to the KQ website, click careers, proceed to the recruitment portal, on the searchbox type pilot and you will see Ab initio on the results...go ahead and apply. You will have to create an account with them though.
