    Please note you must have achieved the entry qualifications at the point of application. We cannot accept predicted grades.

    To be fair its pretty clearly written on the BA website as linked in the OP that Predicted grades wont be accepted.
    One would think that a person seriously interested in being a pilot would have devoured all the info available to them on the BA site as a starting point.

    You will need:

    5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English Language, Mathematics and a Science (single or double award), excluding General Studies.

    PLUS

    either 3 A-Levels at Grades BBC or above, excluding General Studies and Critical thinking.
    or an Honours Degree at 2:2 (or higher) or a pass (or above) in a higher degree such as MSc, MA, MPhil, DPhil, PhD, MBA.
    If you have equivalent academic qualifications then you will be asked to provide a Letter of Comparability from UK NARIC before attending your first selection day. The Scottish educational qualification equivalents are detailed in the FAQ page.

    BA aint no AL their on two different pages.

    Hi guys, is anybody else having trouble inserting their qualifications, I have no problem inserting my leaving certificate results, but when I try to put in my degree it insists I put in the month and year that the degree was awarded, however I can't find any spot to put this date in. If anyone has any info please let me know.

    Thanks

    For the essay part (Application Questions, do all essays have to be less than 500 words? It shows "Max of 4000 words" so I assumed that the minimum is 500. Am I wrong or what? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,780 ✭✭✭jamo2oo9


    Never mind, I just realised, it was characters it was showing below the text box, not the word indicator :o

    Anyone any advice or outstanding preference for picking one of the specific FTO's (CAE Oxford Aviation Academy, CTC Aviation Training in Bournmouth, or FTE in Jerez) ?

    Don't forget guys you will need £840000 pounds or just a smidge over €100k avail ( although you get it back at the end ) as well as results and ability to fill in forms and a snappy suit.
    Excellent opportunity for those on the verge of self sponsoring anyway.
