Train with British Aero Academy and launch your career

At British Aero Academy, we want you to land your dream job. That’s why our Academy is equipped with the facilities and resources to help you launch your pilot career.

Whether you’re finishing your GCSEs, A-Levels or a degree, or fancy a change in career, our pilot training courses are airline-focused to prepare newly qualified pilots for a seamless transition from training to flight deck.

Our Integrated ATPL course is our most direct route to becoming a pilot, taking you from little to no flying experience to a fully qualified pilot in around 70 weeks. Upon successful completion of your course, you’ll graduate with a UKCAA or EASA ‘frozen’ ATPL.

Our Flexible ATPL course is suitable if you're looking to become a pilot in your own time, while still retaining the benefits of the full-time Integrated course.

We also offer Individual Modules.
