I don’t meet the G C S E requirements, but have A-Level equivalent qualifications, can I still apply?

Hi -

As it stands, we can only accept GCSE equivalents for the Speedbird Pilot Academy, higher certifications do not qualify. We have had applicants take GCSE, or equivalent exams, after their time at school in order to meet the eligibility criteria. For example, a level 2 BTEC would count as four GCSEs, however maths, a science and English Language certificates would still need to be obtained.

Whether this remains the case for any future intakes, I cannot say.
