    Hi.


    Once you have started training, we will monitor your progress throughout. We would require that you get a first series pass at ground school with an 85% average with no more than 3 resits and a first series pass at your CPL & IR.  


    We are expecting that all successful candidates would achieve this standard.


    Good luck with your application.

    Hi Kate,


    Thank you for answering.


    Financially wise, do I have to pay BA back the training fee if unfortunately I failed at ground school or at the CPL stage?


    Many Thanks :)

    If a cadet failed their training because of ability they would not pay back the bond. If it was due to discipline, behaviour, commitment, or change of heart then yes, they would be liable to pay back the bond.


    The assessment process is run to identify people who are highly motivated and have the ability to pass the course and is an amazing opportunity, so we very much hope not to be in the position where people are failing.


    I hope this helps.
