Hi, I am Hetvi this year I am going to sit my GCSEs and I am going to turn 16 as well so can I apply in this scheme.

Hello Hetvi -

You'll need to be at least 17 years of age to apply and 18 years of age to start training. Further criteria are listed below:

• Six GCSEs grade A-C or 4-9, including Maths, English Language and a Science or equivalent qualifications
• Fluent in English (and, if applicable, have achieved ICAO Level 6 on completion of training). For non-native English speakers, you will need a certificate proving you have achieved International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Level 5.5 overall, with no less than 5.5 in any individual area (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking). This must be the Academic test, not General Training
• A valid passport which permits unrestricted worldwide travel
• Your height must be between 1.57m (5'2") and 1.90m (6'3"). If you’re taller than 1.90m, you may submit an application, but may be required to undergo a functionality check
• Able to obtain and hold a UK CAA Class 1 medical with no restrictions and meet British Airways medical criteria
• Before training starts, you must have completed referencing and pre-employment checks to the satisfactory standard and supply satisfactory UK and international Criminal Record Checks

If you satisfy all the above and the Academy opens again for applications next year, then we welcome an application from you!
