One big question faces students about to start training for a professional pilot qualification: Do you go for an EASA licence which would allow you to fly for a European airline such as Ryanair, or do you opt for a CAA licence and fly for a British airline such as British Airways?
There’s not a lot of difference between the two licences other than the State of Issue – but it can hinder your career mobility.
Several flight schools have a dual option where you do one lot of training but take two sets of exams.
Now Dublin-based ASG, which specialises in ground school (theoretical knowledge) training has also started to offer dual certification, allowing students to qualify for both UK CAA and EASA licences through a single comprehensive ATPL theory programme.
ASG says it has developed this programme with the specific needs of remote learning students in mind.
“Our remote learning platform ensures that you can complete all aspects of your training from the comfort of your home, without the need for extensive travel or relocation,” said the company.
