- Ensure that we take into training only those students with the core qualities needed to succeed in the airline industry.
- Develop a unique set of additional personal skills that enhances readiness for an airline career.
- Provide significant financial security during training.
- Support our graduates into airline employment as First Officers.

SkillsPlus Guarantee
This new feature provides absolute financial peace of mind for both students and sponsors:
- A fixed ‘turnkey’ price for the entire programme including all training, equipment and testing components.
- In the event of the need for any form of remedial training and re-testing, these costs and charges (including CAA fees) will be fully covered by OAA within the programme price and no longer passed onto the student.
- In the event that training ceases at any point in the programme (despite receiving remedial training and testing), due to lack of aptitude, the student/sponsor will receive a full refund of the entire costs of all training and testing incurred to date* (standard course and remedial) and any monies paid in advance.
