CPL(H) and heli employability

Morning all,

Can anyone help point me in the right direction or offer some advice on what is required for an SH mate (circa 1500hrs) to get a CPL(H)?

Has anyone taken the jump recently or looked into future employability within the heli world??

Any advice most appreciated!

ST

There was a thread on here recently pointing to a company at Kemble.

They have/had one more place between now and April to convert QSP(H) to civilian licence.

Wasn't too long ago?

Good luck!

I am outside and in the air ambulance world. Our company have shedloads of people applying for jobs. No IR, no job unless you have a fast track optIon, ie military accreditations which are being binned. Budget for an IR.

Boat has sailed

You can (to the tune of 400 hrs) use sim hours towards the military accreditation scheme. I had my CPL(H) in hand with 1600 hrs in my logbook. But, you have rather missed the boat. Unless you can squeeze in a class 1 medical, a bridging exam and several CAA exams before April (oh, and get the application in). Perhaps wait for the new scheme?
