Explore structured cadet programmes from the world's leading airlines. Get the inside track on applications, assessments and what to expect.
Cadet programmes offer a structured path from zero experience to airline first officer, often with preferential or guaranteed employment.
Training is designed in partnership with the airline, meaning the syllabus is built specifically for their operation and fleet.
Most programmes are self-funded via a training loan. A small number offer full or partial sponsorship. All cover the type rating.
Successful graduates receive a guaranteed or preferential interview for a first officer role — a major advantage over self-study routes.
