During this phase, all students have access to a 24-hour fitness centre, outdoor swimming pools, BBQ facilities and shopping amenities which all located in or close to the accommodation facilities.

Our unique SkillsPlus Guarantee has been developed to give complete peace of mind during your training with CAE Oxford Aviation Academy.

The guarantee underlines our genuine and ethical commitment to the quality of both our training and our graduates; it covers:

1. The return of up to £60,000 of your security bond in the most unlikely event that training ceases due to lack of aptitude (despite a cadet's best endeavours).
2. An all-inclusive training solution whereby CAE Oxford Aviation Academy commits to cover the costs incurred for all additional training and/or UK CAA ground exam or flight test retakes incurred throughout the programme up to the point of licence issue.

Following the completion of the Integrated ATPL Course in Oxford, as a BA Future Pilot Programme Cadet you will then proceed to undertake Type Rating Training with BA Flight Training on one of their short-haul aircraft types. The exact aircraft type will be confirmed by British Airways at a later stage.

• British Airways has structured their Future Pilot Programme with their new recruitment partner, Airline Placement Limited (APL) who will sponsor your training.
• Obviously this programme represents a significant investment by APL and you will therefore be required to deposit a security bond of £84,000 with them. Because this is a sponsored scheme, this entire £84,000 security bond will be repaid to you if you successfully complete all training, and go on to join British Airways as a First Officer.
• The security bond is repaid subject to the conditions already outlined in equal monthly installments over your first 7 years of employment with BA, all in addition to the remuneration package detailed on the BA Future Pilot Programme website.
• In addition to the security bond that you will deposit with APL, there is a one-off additional fee of £5,499 , payable to CAE Oxford Aviation Academy, and which covers a range of costs including ALL initial UK CAA regulatory charges:
• ATPL Theoretical Examinations
• Flight Skills Tests (CPL, MEP and IR)
• CPL Licence Issue with:
• - MEP Class Rating
• - MEP Instrument Rating
• You should also set aside funds for:
• Your food during your training at our Oxford Training Centre (food is provided by CAE Oxford Aviation Academy at Phoenix)
• Personal living and social expenses
• UK CAA Initial Class 1 Medical and Renewal

Our unique SkillsPlus Guarantee has been developed to give complete peace of mind during your training with us.

The guarantee underlines our genuine and ethical commitment to the quality of both our training and our graduates; it covers:

• The return of up to £60,000 of your security bond in the most unlikely event that training (up to licence issue) ceases due to lack of aptitude (despite a cadet's best endeavours).

This unique programme is open to any aspiring pilots, from school leavers through to those changing career, who meet the following criteria:

Some flying or gliding experience would of course be beneficial, but is not essential. Candidates who are interested in this programme must also be available to commence training between Autumn 2013 and Autumn 2014 as it will not be possible to defer a place on a training programme beyond this timeframe.

We regret that the following will not be eligible for the programme:

• Any candidates who have already completed any JAA / EASA ground school exams
• Current CPL or ATPL holders.
• Any military pilots who have commenced training at an Operational Conversion Unit (OCU)

Whilst you will be excited by the prospect of frequent travel, you will also need to understand that British Airways operates flights globally, day and night, every day of the year, and you must be prepared to demonstrate the flexibility and commitment which are essential for the company to operate successfully in a highly competitive market.

Those applicants whose initial application is considered successful will be invited to attend for Stage 1 of the formal Selection process as detailed below.

For the BA Future Pilot Programme, assessment and selection will take place in two stages.

• Stage 1 - at CAE Oxford Aviation Academy's Airline Careers and Assessment Centre at Oxford Airport
• Stage 2 - at the BA Assessment Centre at London Heathrow Airport

Only those individuals judged to have reached a sufficiently high standard in Stage 1 will proceed on to Stage 2.

The assessment process is intended to identify individuals that both CAE Oxford Aviation Academy and BA consider to have the necessary skills, aptitude and personal characteristics to succeed in airline pilot training and then into a flying career with BA.

The one-off cost for undertaking CAE Oxford Aviation Academy Skills Assessment & Selection is £250. Candidates who proceed through to Stage 2 will do so at no further cost other than travel and subsistence (if necessary).

Dates for assessment and selection will be notified by CAE Oxford Aviation Academy or BA as appropriate.
