Aviation Operations with Commercial Pilot Training (with Foundation Year)

About this course This course will help you take off as a pilot and future aviation leader. In Year 2 you'll be based at our partner flight school, which is an Approved Training Organisation (ATO), with training delivered by specialist ground school instructors. You'll study the syllabus of the 13 Theoretical Knowledge exams needed to obtain a UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) ATPL (A) licence.

Please note: the cost of flight training could be around £90,000 in addition to University fees. Student Finance does not cover any CAA exams or flight training. Hence, additional funding would be required to complete the ATPL training.
