What academic requirements are there to become an airline pilot? Are there any?
In this video I will try and answer some of those questions.
Enjoy!
Welcome!

Cheers for the video content! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (just google it)? It is a great exclusive guide for how to get pilot license without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my GF at last got astronomical results with it.
I am aspiring to become a pilot and just found your channel and am loving it. Thank u

Thanks another great video, it really made me believe in myself that i could actually do it and makes me strive for better grades!
Mentour is one amazing pilot! He’s the one that inspired me to become a pilot
This video is an answer to what I was curious about, ago. Thank you!
This is very helpful, you explain things well thank you!
Thanks for this it helps a lot:)
sooo if I graduate on everything but without any A’s.
So u need to pass math science and english ok easy am in yr 10 btw
MARV STUDIO me too am 12 btw
You need to pass them with at least 70% i saw
Good luck kid
Hi! I'd really like to thank you for your videos, they're inspiring and answer to a lot of questions every time. Can you recommend a score a student should realistically aim to for what concerns the ATPL theory exams? What could be a good average score an airline may have as requirement? Thank you again, please don't stop uploading videos, there's a lot of us out here that can find motivation and precious advices with your experience. Take care!
I’m good at science and English but not math I’m a c student in math

Great channel, I can't stop watching your videos! I have a question: I am currently in the last year of high school (in Sweden) and thinking of trying to get into one of the flight schools here. Would you recommend to start immediately after high school or get another degree and then try. I have been thinking of getting a bachelor in mathematics, would that be better in the long run? Would it be easier to find a job after flight school if i have that degree aswell?
Thank you! :)
I think British Airways runs a good cadet program, if I remember you need three A levels at BBC or higher to join.
In what subjects?
Ok
+Mentour Pilot i agree because that's what i was doing as well
But you can also be guaranteed a place for other airlines other than British airways right? Like Qatar?
Great job
Thank you
Thanks for sharing such an awesome video .Greeting From Greece [ Sadly for me it was a dream that never came true , and that's cause i am sooooo bad at maths and they are holding me back so thanks for sharing those informations ;)
My parent don't believe me that I'll become a pilot when I grow up just because I have a GPA of 2.18
On my report card
8th grade
Awesome video. Always looking forward to your next one. I had few questions for now:
1. How do pilots keep count of the flying hours? Maybe the airlines one are kept by the airline, but how can it be officially checked the hours that you fly for recreation on weekends with like a Cessna or on the simulator?
2. Some of the programs you mentioned also have a variant with added Honour Degree. Do you recommend just focusing on flying or is a degree helpful? Especially as I am thinking of going on the aviation road immediately after finishing high school, so no degree there.
3. Are you thinking of doing a live Hangout stream where we could also joined the video? I am thinking it's like the project you are preparing, but with less work doing and editing.
Keep up the great work.
2-2 is basically a grading in how well yo did at your degree, it's a bit like a grade (as in A*, A, B, C etc.), but not as cut and dry. I believe they go, in descending order of ranking (i.e. best first, worst last); 1st, 2-1, 2-2, 3rd, pass, fail.
They're roughly split into 10% boundaries, based off of total credits at the end of the course, with 70%+ being a 1st, 60-69% being a 2-1 and so on
Thanks a lot. Hope to se you in the skies someday (providing you fly with Ryanair witch you probably don't but oh well)
Thank you sooo much!
But for the 1,500h in US and 200h in EU, do you know why there's such a difference? Because now I'm wondering if I should really go into EU aviation, rather than the US. And is it 'common' that non-European students come to study in EU? Don't they then have to learn the native language of the company their looking at?
Thanks again for the vid!))
I've got an eye condition known as keratokonus, It distorts my vision but i've been prescribed correction lenses and my eyes are not the best,
Thanks
I passed my FFA knowledge exam with 56/60 or 93% but as for my other academics Im not that great. Hopefully Airlines will see some kind of future for me.
How did it go for you in the end?
Hey MenTour Pilot!
Firstly I want to say all of your videos are beyond insightful and I really do enjoy all the series's you publish, it's been a huge help! Anyways I want to ask for your personal reccomendations for me academic choices. Currently I am doing 3 A Levels, Business, Geography and then AS Maths and Physics combined to form one A Level but I have the choice of leaving Maths and Physics and continue doing the other two. I have a strong gut feeling that airlines would open their eyes more at my application if I had a Maths and Physics so would you recommend me to continue with it?
I look forward to hearing back from you, many thanks! Like, subscribed and shared :)
Wow thank you very much for your swift reply, I appreciate your input! I've watched a couple of other videos since and I think you've justified why I should continue there as well so thank you :)
I recently passed the skills assessment at the Oxford Aviation Academy and I will commence my integrated ATPL training in August this year upon graduating from high school so your videos are now my bible! Keep up the awesome work dude, these videos are so insightful and I'm confident that I speak on behalf of other aspiring pilots that this is just the kinds of things we need :D Kudos to you and I look forward to your future posts :)
It has been 7 years.. how is it going?
In Canada as a minimum you require to be classified as a mature student and do not even require a High School diploma to get a CPL and ATPL. I know a few who are currently in rewarding flying carriers without high school. That being said, most companies in Canada require at least a High School Diploma. None as I know will ask for transcripts. A post secondary degree or diploma gives you an extra point or two on your application and can be the difference on getting your CV to the top of the pile. Knowing a second language can give you another point, with the most points going for flight experience. Even more points for experience on type. Top tier companies like Air Canada require post secondary education in any field, it proves your ability to learn. As the experience level out there drops, many companies drop their post secondary requirement to find experienced candidates.

thank you very much for this video sir.. this had helped me alot understanding about studying pilot. i genuinely want to study pilot but i can't find collages over usa and the main part is i'm from Nepal and i know nothing about its fees and visa apply. so it would be great if you could help me solve this problem.
Hello, great channel ! Do airline companies higher people that have not got say A levels or a degree but have started training later in life ? Maybe 30's or even 40's but they might have done a modular course to get a frozen atpl ? Thanks Simon.
Hej, jag hittar inte norweigans eller sas anställningskrav, alltså vilka betyg de vill att man skall ha. Har du någon aning om vad man skall söka på?
Hey im 14 years old right now . Well , my question is that is taking up commerce and becoming a pilot matter ? if not why ? thank you your videos are amazing and immensely helping me out to decide about my future ! Cheers
do you mean that if i was good at speaking english or god at my english grade at school?
Hello i really like your work and it is very helpful .
I would like to know what do pilots do in long flights and how do they spend there time.
My dream is to become an pilot and i am doing the best possible homework i could do.
Thank you
X plane 11 is a good flight simulator because you can learn a lot about flying an aircraft.
hello pilot... I'm a pilot aspirant from my childhood..currently I'm doing my engineering degree 2nd year and I'm from a non native English speaking country..but I wish to do my pilot schooling in native English speaking country..so can u tell me how to approach a good pilot school and how to find the fee of the school???

Hi , sir, I'm in Cambodia right now and there isn't any flight program here and i'm lookin for A scholarship Aviation school abroad , well please you should post the regard as scholarship school , thanks Captain......thanks so much sir...
hi, I was just wondering if you could give me some advise. I have already achieved on getting my ppl and moving on to do my training at leeds bradford airport at ptt aviation. The only thing worrying me is I have know GCSES at grade C or above, all I have is a nvq level 3 in motor mechanics and key skills in maths and English. Once you are qualified and gained your frozen ATPL do airlines still look at your school qualifications or is that just for courses to be sponsored by a airlines.
many thanks
+mentour pilot How are flight hours tracked and who keeps track of them?
I want to join Virgin Atlantic with CTC WINGS. I need 5 GCSE's which should be C and above. I go to year 10 in the UK and I have right now a C in English, Maths, Science (just got it by one mark) and Art.
Hi Mentour Pilot! I am 14 and very interested in the airline pilot career. Any suggestions on what I should start doing to help me achieve the goal of becoming a pilot?
I'm no pilot but I tend to watch a lot of Air crash Investigation programmes, so I have a rough idea.
DIONNE FRANCIS-BROWN If you want to be an airline pilot, you need more than that.
You don't have a rough idea 😂
@@Tomb743 so mean this pendejo...ahah but funny.
bcz of this programme, I dropped my idea of being a pilot. Now I am even afraid when I fly, let alone becoming a pilot....
if you got bad grades in high school and qualified for private pilot license and progressed for commercial pilot license together with instrumental ratings in conjuction with Airline Transport pilot license plus 1500 flying hours,can i become a pilot with major airlines such as Air France ,Emirates , Ethiopian etc
Hi, it's FAA is Federal Aviation Administration. :)
I'm 15 currently doing my microlight pilots license. I have pretty bad grades well D's I want everyone to know I have gotten multiple offers from British airways, Etihad airways and easy jet, I recommend getting the grades but in my case I hate school and although I am very smart at English, science and maths I can't apply it onto paper so if you do not get the grades you can pay for your pilots license.
You are 15 and are getting offers from major airlines?? How?
Lol are you working for an airline today?
Hey im doing my maths,physics and chemistry and i have heard its very expensive to take courses in flying.What other route can i take which is not expensive?
Army
Can you tell any college name in London for become pilot study
What is meant by level 4?? I have to do both O and A level in academic
How is it effective in terms of salary
Hello mentour pilot, firstly awesome videos, very informative and helpful. I have a question, I have studied in an Indian school till my 10th grade, after that I have done my 11th and 12th from an A-level school. My subjects were maths and physics in 12th and physics, maths and ict in 11th grade. Will this be enough for me to get a job?
I been asking about 4 years degree and all flight schools told me the airline aren't required not more?
Hi mentor as always you'd podcasts are great. I am a bit worried that I won't get the GCSEs and a levels to become a pilot, my dream is to fly for Ryanair and do you know what some of the requirements are for them, I can't find them on the Internet.
Thanks again
Sam.
Ok I didn't think of that. Thanks again, I will do that now.
Thanks
So I'm taking applied classes in high school, does that mean that I can't be a pilot because I have to take academic classes. pls answer 😓😓😓
Can anyone pls answer I need to know
If you can find time and join flying academy,ofc you can.
Yass all I need is a PHD in home economics (cooking)
I live in the UK and I am currently a college student and I admit that I do not have C grades in maths I hope that will not be a big problem for applying a flight school and finding job afterwards?
Did you end up going through with it ?
Which school is the best in Toronto Canada to start from 0 until the ATPL
Hey !!!
I am in the last year of high school
I have the right measurements (170cm)
I am good at maths and science (A student)
And my English is pretty good if not perfect (fluent in speaking and writing)
I didn't get what u meant with the 200 and 1500 hours. Please explain.
What else do I need to attend a good university?
Thank you.
What should we do after +2 to become a pilot??
what flight agency do you currently offer your services to
Hey!! I want to be a captain one day Which would you say is the best country to study aviation based on the pay for the college and and the amount payed to pilots first officer or captain and are they paid differently . And another question what does it take to become a captain.
Hi, I've got a quick question. Obviously pilots are still human beings and can still become sick or Ill like everyone else. How is that addressed by the airline and what is the limit (in terms of illness) for you to operate on a flight? Let's say on the morning of a flight you had a bad headache or migraine or some other issue, what would you do? Also thanks for making these vids! It's a real help for me as, unfortunately I don't know anyone in the profession to ask for advice.
Thank you for the information....but you have said that in case of Europe,UKand USA...can i have the information if in the case of India
Im a high school student and I was unable to choose physics because my mark was to low does that mean I can not become an airline pilot
hello I am in the Aircadets in the UK dose thus give me any advantages
If in my area there is only a main airline should i get into their program or get certificated by myself, i'm talking about LAN Chile
Hello captain! Hoppas du mår bra:) I was able to find a flying school here in Kenya (that is approved) and they only require high school leaving certificate which I am able to produce.. I went a step further by doing A-level, however, after year 12, I decided to leave A-level and apply for the school.. if I do join the school ( with only year 12 results) will I still be not in a good position to work for a decent airline?
What type of grades do you need for Ryanair,please tell me.And will ryanair still have such a big demand for pilots in 2020? Thanks
Its JayMac it will be on their recruitment page
hellowhat was your hours when you first became a first officer
Alright, so i've got a criminal free thing which is clean, I live in spain and i'll get an A thing for english for sure which im getting next year. I am 1m75, what else do I need? I also started school at 3 y/old , did college etc and bachiller , and soon i'm gonna finish school and i'll be 19 y/o when i finish , do i then go to a pilot school already and go to the bank to lend money and then go to the school and start my dream?
do i need a four year college drgree to be a major pilot ?
I am from Nepal.We have two option for academics in our country "A levels" and "+2".
I am not studying A levels its +2 what I am doing. so Will it affect me in someways?And we don't have flight school in this nation.
hi !
Is it better if I do A-levels to be a commercial pilot.... or is it that O levels is enough??
And one more question, I only took Physics and Chemistry but not biology... is it okay?
someone please let me know the grade requirments fo Ryanair?
If i did not take physics in A-Levels but I take math, will it effect me from being a commercial pilot?
loo kah fai I wasn't thinking about taking either so I really worried I wound have a chance
A-levels after 10th grade?
loo kah fai That will literally make no difference to your chances
K I am taking physics as A level and maths as AS (Subsidiary) level...i do not know if i will be able to become a pilot with those subjects
Yes you do need physics, actually you need a degree in physics first then you can join an airline as a Pilot
Hey man,
I have finished alevels and Gcse. I got c and above In all my GCSE'S and technically passed all my alevels and BTEC.
I am currently in uni atm, however, I want to switch course and do aviation or piloting. I would really appreciate some advice on how to start off?
I have no flight experience, as I have been following my parents ambition for me. However, I finally plan to chase a dream of mine.
Thanks.
+Mentour Pilot. I doing biomedical science. Would Airlines still count that as an applicable degree? what kinds of test shall I acknowledge? shall I look at the Ppl?
Thanks
have you transferred to piloting? :)
Do the requirements change? For example Wizz air will need cadets to have at least High school but after 5 years university. Can this situation happen?
Thanks for your video. I am a german and I finished my flight training 3 years ago. Since that I applied for all airlines in Germany and also for Wizz. The strange thing is that I never got an answer. My school leaving certificate is advanced technical certificate which is in Germany called "Fachhochschulreife" and I guess that is the problem. I have also done an education as car technichen master. So I guess I have a pretty much well understanding for technical things which is much important for a pilot. So the question is why do they not acceptr that? I really do not understand that. Thanks
hi. Thanks for the comment but I will definetly not pay for an assessment. That is very unprofessionel in my view.
Umm I'm a school boy in 6th grade, do I need to be good in school like math and science and history to attend a good airplane college, what kind of grades or knowledge do I need in school, ect. Math science and what degree do I need? Pls reply 🙏
WolfEZGaming idrk but you have to be very clever at like maths and physics and take those for your subjects and study them and you need good grades in them
Wait till your boards or high school and after that decide what you want to do.
When i was your age i wanted to become a taxi driver and now that I'm mature enough to decide I'm in Flight school.
SO WAIT IT OUT BEFORE DECIDING PLEASE.
WolfEZGaming I am a son of a pilot and occording to him you need (uk) 5 gcses 3 a- levels or 1 degree
To get scholarships or bursaries into airline training, your grades have to be high. Unless you have enough money to pay for training
Would I still be able to become a pilot if I failed science
I am fluent Welsh and English and I'm learning to speak French and german. My first language is Welsh and my native language is Welsh. Do I need a level 4 English or a 6 although I am fluent and my native language is Welsh?
In Poland, it's physics,maths,English, Tech ,Mecanic/maintenence, Geography, and only at age 16 start flight school in poland best flight school in poland is In warsaw at Warsaw Babimost Airport you do flights from there to like Warsaw Chopin, Warsaw Modlin and flights across poland and at a high altitude when the student isn't watching and flying the plane the teacher pliot would do a stall and leave the student to deal with it unless he is struggling he would recover, and also the teacher would do lots of emerngiecies it's strict and poland guys,
So what subject and grade need for USA ?
greetings, right know I'm in class 11th with non medical and I want to go UK for pilot training after my 12th but I'm little bit confused is it will be easier or not?
brother...I want to be a pailot what I should I do ..now
Could you refer best flying school in south Africa ?
Can u still get a job in the uk if you don’t have a levels but you have gcse
what is the total fees of pilot course in UK?and starting salary of pilot??
Hejsan, jag är en 14 åring från Karlstad som skulle vilja bli pilot (kolla mina videos etc.). Jag kollade på SAAs träningsystem och det totala priset blir 47500, 1500 för kostymen, 15000 för litterature (teoretiska biten antar jag) och sist men defenitivt inte minst, CAA fees på 31000. Vart studerade du? Kan flygbolaget betala för träningen? Är priserna korrekta? Tack för att du svarar!
Michel Mossa Tack!
Is it necessary to have A Levels in the U.K. To become an airline pilot. I will commence integrated ATPL at CTC OR OAA. Before this summer.
Thank you
Keshav Bajaj No it is not, you only need A-Levels if the course you wish to apply for has a requirement for A-Levels. Other than that the minimum requirement is 5 GCSE’s including Maths, science, and English Language.
can i do a pilot course if I'm doing brews??
Should i take ict in a levels for pilot
What about scotland
Most everyone as problems with math, but I love doing math it makes me smart😁
Yeah mentour how can I be pilot in Emirates while I am in Kenya
Maths and chemistry alevel is this any good?
Just a quick question is core maths and extended physics enough or i hav to take extended/additional maths too???
I’m not sure what’s included in those levels. You need to have a good understanding of both subjects, if you have that, you are fine!
Mentour Pilot Alright Thanks a lot for the response
What is admin pilot?
does anybody know what RYANAIR requires and how I may be able to apply for a job with them. or any aviation schools that could potentially get me a job with them I am 13 and in year 9 so I will be taking options. and I am a member of the air training core (air cadets).
Thank you I will have look. all though it will be a few more year before I can enrol
What happened to monorc airline
Ok, I am a 15 years old student( not a flight student) whose dream is to be a Pilot in USA! That means after i get License and i need to have 1500 hours of flight in total and after that can i apply for like B737 or A320?
So, I am currently doing my PPL and looking for something cool to study at university which could be useful to my career as a pilot, but I have no idea what to study. Do you guys suggest anything?
