How to become an airline pilot

You can get into this job through:

a university course

applying directly

a trainee scheme

specialist courses run by private training organisations

University

You could do a university degree in air transport or aviation if you're 18 or over.

Your university degree will:

include commercial pilot training with an approved flight training organisation

lead to a 'frozen' Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) which allows you to work as a co-pilot and build up the necessary flying hours to become a captain

Medical certificates

You'll need to have a minimum of a Class 2 medical certificate before you start a course.

You'll then need to apply for the higher level Class 1 medical certificate during your course to get your Commercial Pilot Licence. You could choose to apply for the Class 1 medical certificate before you start your course.

Fees and funding

As well as standard university fees, you'll need to fund the flight training part of your course. Your university can advise you about this.

Entry requirements

You'll usually need:

2 to 3 A levels, or equivalent, for a degree

More Information

Direct Application

You could apply directly to the Civil Aviation Authority's Military Accreditation Scheme to become a commercial pilot if you have flying experience in the armed forces.

Other Routes

You could apply to join a pilot training programme with a passenger airline.

Private flying school

Career tips

If you do not have much or any flying experience, you can do a test with The Honourable Company of Air Pilots. Pilot training is expensive and this could help you decide whether you're suited to being a pilot.

Airlines will expect you to have a GCSE or equivalent in English as it is the international language of flying.

You might also find it useful to be able to speak another language if you want to work for an overseas airline. There's lots of competition so it might help you stand out from others.
