GCSE grades for speed bird pilot scheme

View favourites

Hi there, I am interested in applying for cadet pilot at British airways' speed bird academy. I am an Aircraft Mechanic working on the latest Airbus fleet at a UK airline. I am dual National, including British, and I have grade 4 in English Language GCSE. Does my GCSE grade nullify my application ?

    Hi, looking at the minimum requirements for the Speedbird Pilot Academy (found here: careers.ba.com/speedbird-pilot-academy-preparation), GCSE grade 5-9 is required in English. Applicants must meet this and the rest of the criteria listed for an application to be considered.
    I'm sorry this isn't the news you were hoping for and wish you the very best of luck in pursuing your career through other channels.
