TESTIMONIALS

Salman Asif Firfire

I chose BAA Training because I wanted a school that offers technical training and a clear career pathway. Their partnerships with airlines and structured training plan really stood out to me. The combination of modern facilities and a global reputation made it an easy decision. The training was solid, and I’d rate it highly. The instructors were highly professional and supportive throughout the process. They were approachable, making it easy to ask questions, and provided real-world insights. Training at Lleida-Alguaire was a unique experience. The open airspace gave me plenty of time to focus on flight skills without too many interruptions from other traffic. The most significant challenge for me was managing the intensity of the training schedule. It’s fast-paced, but with a good balance of discipline and guidance from the instructors, I was able to keep up. Their willingness to offer extra help whenever needed made a big difference in overcoming the steep learning curve. I would recommend BAA Training. It’s well-structured, the instructors are dedicated, and the entire training program is designed to get you career-ready. For anyone serious about becoming a pilot, it’s a great choice.

Akshay Rajendra Prasad

I had come across BAA Training 4 years ago when I was pursuing Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, but back then, there were only Europe-focused cadet programs. Once I completed engineering, I still wasn’t satisfied and always wanted to become a pilot – and that’s when I went back to BAA Training to find their Indian Cadet Program. This was like a tailor-made structure for me. I have always wanted to do my pilot training in Europe to qualify for an EASA license and come back to India for license conversion. When it comes to instructors, they are very knowledgeable, have vast experience in the field, and are always happy to clear our doubts, even after classes. The infrastructure at Lleida-Alguaire is top-notch, with spacious classrooms, room for rest, and a separate floor for self-study, equipped with laptops and high-speed Wi-Fi. I had some issues in understanding some of the topics, but given extra classes and the help from the instructors, I was able to exceed on my CAA exams with ease. I would highly recommend BAA Training to others.

Vihaan Vineet Sapru

Personally, I chose BAA Training because their curriculum is well-rounded, combining comprehensive theoretical knowledge with practical flight training. Additionally, the course offers an EASA license with conversion to a DGCA license. Overall, I believe BAA Training aligns with my aspirations, values, and learning objectives. I would rate BAA Training very highly. The academy has experienced instructors who are really good at explaining and clearing up doubts, and their teaching methods for practical flying are highly commendable. Training at Lleida-Alguaire has been a good experience for me overall. I have nothing but compliments for the instructors and other students, making it a fun time and helping me improve personally. The biggest challenge for me was settling in. Being in a new country with different people, cultures, and languages can be overwhelming, but BAA Training provided us with support in every step of the process. I would highly recommend BAA Training to others, especially those serious about pursuing a career in aviation.
