I'd love to join a sponsorship, to be honest, I'd drop out of College and do it! Well, that's if my mum let's me.

But I'd drop out of University for sure!

You must not drop out of college, you will need something to fall back onto if it all goes t*ts up.

Also the least they would expect (i'm guessing) would be an A Level in maths and physics to be in line with other organisations

It is always important to study, have a plan B, aviation can be unpredictable and not very secure jobwise.

sorry to put a damper on things. EY have now slowed down their cadet program greatly, we have the last intake of cadets, two courses the end of this year. At the moment they have to many cadets holding to even start the next step on the A320. They are now looking at the requirement that if you want to join them, you have to do a 4 year degree in aviation at abu dhabi college, whether thay will sponsor you for that I do not know.

Do NOT do that. Get your education done. It's way more important than flying at the minute. Get the backup behind you. Ive my PPL on Helicopters done but I'm hitting the books again to get a backup and hopefully a decent job (Non Aviation Related) before I even consider going to the next stage of my flying.
