Is A-level Math helpful for becoming a pilot? Will it improve my chances for the Speedbird Cadet Program?
Additional information
I’m in Year 11 and I have to pick my A level courses soon for college. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to become a pilot, my dad is a pilot but he doesn’t fly anymore. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi Tristan.
The qualification requirements for the Speedbird Pilot Academy are 6 GCSEs grade A-C or 5-9 including Maths, English and a Science or equivalent qualifications. The other requirements are listed in the Creating Your Application section of the advice on our website under Preparation Materials.

British Airways don't take A-levels into account during this process and I would suggest you to do the A-levels that you enjoy as you are more likely to succeed in these.
I hope this helps your decision making.
