Being a commercial helicopter pilot is one of the most rewarding and exciting career  paths you could take and opens up a world of different opportunity.

Whether you are thinking about a career as a helicopter pilot as an alternative to University or even a complete career change, we can provide a training course to fit with your time and budget. Contrary to what you might think or have been told, you don’t need a University course and you don’t need a degree !!

The first step to flying helicopters for a living is obtaining your Private Pilots Licence PPL(H). Once you have successful passed that it is all about putting in sufficient time (at least 155 hrs) to obtain a commercial licence, which is a necessity to allows anyone to be paid for flying helicopters.

You must then also pass the commercial written examinations, which we will help you with through to examination standard.

I took a degree and took a good job as an Engineer….until I realised there was more to life and a career doing something that I could love every day would be more fulfilling.
