Welcome!
You are embarking on a journey to join a dynamic and rewarding industry. Ensuring that your learning journey is appropriate to your own personal learning style is very important to us.
A professional pilot requires a unique and varied skillset, so UWL has teamed up with TurnPoint to give you the best possible opportunity for success. TurnPoint is an organisation with current, relevant expertise in flight training and professional pilot development, so you will receive the support you need to get where you want to go from day one.
We will work with you to help you gain your Commercial Pilot Licence and a BSc Honours degree, as well as assisting you with opportunities to develop, so that you can become a highly employable pilot.
Put to effective use, this approach will save you time, hone your skillset and can potentially reduce exposure to excessive flight training costs.
The liaison fee will apply to year 1. Further arrangements can be made to support years 2 and 3 on request. Sept 2024 Starters: payment is required by 31st October 2024. For any queries, please get in touch.
