Eligibility
The threshold is simple.
Crossing it is not.
We do not select on background, wealth or connections. We select on demonstrated capability. Below is the floor every applicant must clear before Stage 01 review.
Mandatory
Required to apply
High school diploma
Completion of secondary education is the minimum threshold. A bachelor's degree is preferred but not required — many of our strongest cadets enter directly from secondary school.
Valid passport
Your passport must have at least 12 months of remaining validity at application. International training requires demonstrated travel readiness.
Age 17–28 at application
Our intake window is calibrated to the career arc of an airline captain. Applicants outside this range are reviewed case-by-case but rarely admitted.
ICAO Level 4 English (target)
You do not need to be certified before applying — Stage 02 and Stage 04 will assess your English. But if you cannot conduct a board interview in English today, you are not yet ready.
