How to become a pilot

If you arrived up to here is because you have a passion for flight and a number of reasons to make your dream true. Follow our recent CAE graduates in Instagram @CAEpilot and get inspired by their motivations to become pilots.

Explore our training programmes and determine which programme best suits you, based on your desired training route and on the necessary eligibility requirements. To help make your decision, contact a training advisor or visit one of our academies during a Pilot Career Day.

Submit your online application by following the details in the Apply section of your preferred programme. Make sure you meet the eligibility requirements before applying. 

If you meet all the eligibility requirements of your preferred programme, you will be invited to begin our assessment and selection process, which typically consists of a computer-based aptitude test and an in-person interview. 

From a medical examiner approved by the relevant national aviation authority (in some cases this is secured at the time of assessment).
