UK Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL)

Our Higher Education Programmes offer an opportunity for students to gain their UK Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL), alongside their academic studies; the balance of practical and theoretical skill is highly sought-after by global aviation industry employers.

Beginning with their placement at a local CAA-approved Declared Training Organisation (DTO), we support students throughout the entire flying training process. Our own flying instructors and subject matter experts (SMEs) are by their side, offering direction and guidance, at all stages of their journey…. Solo flight often happens quicker than you might think!

Further information regarding the PPL and LAPL courses can be found here.
