As the course requires a high level of personal investment, candidates must be sufficiently motivated never to give up, resilient in difficult situations, and ambitious enough to be supported and obtain the job they are aiming for on completion of the course. More than just passing a licence, CEFA will give you the opportunity to get interviews with companies in your preferred sector at the end of the course. We will work with you during the course to help you find a job, as our aim is for you to be directly employed at the end of the course. If you have the desire to make your dream come true and go all the way, then you will succeed in this observation!

To prepare a flight plan and fly the helicopter, you’ll need to learn precise mathematical and physical science concepts during your training, which are compulsory to obtain your pilot’s licence. This doesn’t mean that you need to be an engineer to pass the entrance exam, but you do need to be at ease with the sometimes complex calculations that will help you to master the principles of calculating fuel requirements, determining the weight and balance of the aircraft and passengers, and so on. You’ll also need to be at ease with the concepts of physics, particularly in terms of understanding navigation, gravity, lift, meteorology, etc. These concepts will be taught to you during the theoretical training, so it’s essential to have a logical way of thinking and be at ease with scientific subjects before you embark on the training.

To become a private or commercial pilot, you will take the FCL.055 exam, in other words: the aeronautical English exam. To facilitate communication between pilots around the world, a common language with very specific terms has been created. We’ve already written an article on everything you need to know about this part. To guarantee your success at this stage, you must have a minimum TOEIC B2 level. The test will include comprehension, aeronautical vocabulary, oral expression and aeronautical conversation. You will be given the tools you need to practise during the course on our premises, but bear in mind that you will already need to demonstrate a minimum level before you can access the course.

Aeronautics training teaches you to fly perfectly, mastering a vast array of technical, theoretical and practical knowledge, so candidates need to integrate the notions they learn quickly, so as not to be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information. This will be reflected in your diligence in learning, but also in your predisposition to quickly understand what is being explained to you. It is this last point that will be observed during the competition.

Becoming a pilot involves a great deal of responsibility, both material and, above all, human. A poorly prepared flight, a bad reflex, poor control of the aircraft, and your life and that of your passengers could be compromised if you don’t react with clear-sightedness. It is therefore essential to observe your level of psychological stability, to ensure that you have good stress management and the ability to react clearly in the event of a problem.
