    Hi Waleed

    Personally, I'd suggest taking the subjects you most enjoy. If you have a level 5 or above in your GCSE Maths, English Language and a core Science, then you have satisfied the academic requirements to apply to one of our Speedbird cadet programmes.

    If you choose the subjects you most enjoy, then you'll probably find you get better grades. Taking subjects such as Maths and Physics may seem like good stepping stones, but if you don't enjoy them, then the next two years of your A-Levels could end up creating more stress than you need.

    I hope this helps! And enjoy choosing your topics!

    Hi Waleed.

    I agree with Chloe. At the moment we require 6 GCSEs at grade 5-9 including Maths, English Language and a core science subject. Getting some experience in the world of aviation will be beneficial to give you an insight to your potential career.

    Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

    Kate
