WHAT IS BAA Training Cadet Program?
The BAA Training Cadet Program was designed with a clear purpose to ensure a student is employed as a commercial airline pilot after completing all of the training stages successfully. No previous aviation experience is required to join the training.
We, as an academy, oblige ourselves to provide a high-performing student’s candidacy to several airline partners and ensure the student gets an employment offer from at least one of them. In other words, it is your job to study well, and we take care of the rest – make sure you get hired and start working immediately after graduation. While other cadet programs also offer a straight path to the airline, BAA Training Cadet Program provides a 100% pilot training with job guarantee. We have more than 5 partners, leading European airlines, that are members of this distinctive cadet program. One of them will be your future employer, thrilled to welcome you on board!
To ensure the process is smooth-running, we will assign a personal career coach to you who will take you through the entire process from the day you start mulling this opportunity until you finally get your job offer.
