Wings Alliance were crucial in helping secure my first job at Flybe, only 7 days after finishing flight training.

I truly believe the APS MCC that Wings Alliance recommended is the best in the country, if not Europe and beyond. Not only are the instructors all pilots with years of experience over a vast selection of aircraft types, they, and the office staff, are incredibly professional and genuine people.

The transition from a single-pilot CPL/ME/IR holder to a first officer within the airlines is huge. The Wings Alliance recommended course taught me fundamental skills that are not taught anywhere else through flight training, yet are expected when going through type-ratings for airlines.

The APS MCC is one of the most important parts of flight training, helping you to get that illusive first job. I would not be flying around Europe so soon after finishing flight training without Wings Alliance advice and support.

It’s a daunting prospect to spend thousands of pounds on training to become a commercial pilot when there’s no guarantee of a flying job. I had originally flown in the RAF and built my 100 hours PIC up, but at the age of 40 I was nervous that I’d be able to land a flying job.

I then heard about the Wings Alliance and they gave me the confidence to go for it, knowing they had my back and would produce a detailed record of my training. I really liked that I could plan my training around my existing job and choose from their list of flying schools.

The team at the Wings Alliance were there to support and mentor me all the way through – to the point where they got my CV and training record in front of the right people at the airlines. It’s then down to you to impress at interview and in your sim assessment. I’m glad to say the APS MCC course I went through truly gave me the skills and confidence to achieve my ambition. The learning curve from CPL/IR to APS MCC is steep, but by the end of the course, I felt proficient and ready to take on an airline assessment.

I’m now flying the Twin Otter at Loganair and getting to do the famous Barra Beach landing, all within a year and a half of starting with the Wings Alliance.

Choosing this modular route meant I kept the total cost down at £75,000.

Attending the Wings Alliance Assessment at the early stages of my training was a pivotal moment in my path to the flight deck. The day gave me an valuable insight into the airline recruitment process, the competencies they are seeking and how to display them. This gave me a real boost.

Throughout my training I was able consult experienced professionals in both the airline and flight training sectors to help me make good decisions that contributed to me completing modular training in 2 years, whilst holding a full-time job, in minimum training hours and at a fraction of the cost of many courses.

I loved every bit of my training! Structured Modular training with the support and guidance of the Wings Alliance is definitely the way to do it!

I chose modular training as I was able to work full time while completing my frozen ATPL, completing everything in the UK in two years and two months, costing £65,000. I got my first job seven weeks after finishing my APS MCC recommended through Wings Alliance, and I could not be happier doing amazing flying every day, it’s a real dream come true.

I completed my APS MCC with Wings Alliance. Overall the assessment day, course structure and sim instruction was outstanding.

Post APS MCC, I applied to and was offered multiple assessment days with major European airlines within a few months of completing the APS MCC course.

The information given to me during the course with Wings Alliance greatly helped when it came to the assessment days with the airlines. Furthermore the sim instructors at Wings Alliance are current or ex airline pilots which helps as they teach you how the airlines expect multi crew operations to work.

I would highly recommend Wings Alliance to anyone who’s looking to take their first step into any multi-crew role.

Training with the Wings Alliance was really good as it provided me with professional support and guidance throughout all of my training. Training through the modular route without support or guidance would otherwise have been at times quite isolating.

They gave me reassurance of the quality of the training, and as I was chosen the modular route I had lots of options of flight schools to suit my personal circumstances.

The APS-MCC course they recommended was professionally run throughout, with experienced airline pilots carrying out all of the training. The simulator used to complete the 40 hours of training was brand new and of superb quality. This, coupled with the team of knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructors, made each simulator session thoroughly enjoyable.

Interactive airline preparation support sessions and the continued support in finding a job after the course, makes Wings Alliance a great choice for any aspiring pilot looking for a flexible path to a career in aviation. I would definitely recommend them. 

Taking the modular training route, it can be quite common to feel like you are alone and unsure where to look for the advice and help you may need.

Wings Alliance really helped me to organise my modular training and looked after me every step of the way, making sure I was receiving top-quality instruction and, for a competitive price.

Having completed the Wings Alliance APS MCC, I can confidently say that the training is second to none. All the instructors are ex or current airline Captains and First Officers and bring a professional sense of realism to the training. Now, with the support of the Wings Alliance, I am excited to announce I have been accepted onto the Jet.com Pilot Apprentice Scheme. 

I completed my APS MCC with the guidance of Wings Alliance back in 2020.  The Wings Alliance staff were also able to provide excellent insight into upcoming airline assessments with specific airlines.

Their assessment day was also highly valuable preparation, especially when applying for an initial airline job, helping to make the competitive airline interview process much more simple. This has helped me to secure a place on the Jet2 pilot apprentice programme.

I would not hesitate to recommend the Wings  Alliance to anyone in the modular training process.

The Wings Alliance provided me with industry-leading guidance to succeed in my training. It equipped me with the relevant skills to pass airline selection and transition into my type rating. I was most impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the Wings Alliance staff, who provided me with support throughout my training and presented me with the pathway to clinch my dream job. 

I believe the Wings Alliance modular route eradicates the advantages traditionally held by integrated schools by substantially reducing the financial burden, allowing flexibility in your training, and possessing an excellent placement record. 

I spent approximately £55,000 on my modular training.

The APS MCC course provides far more than a conventional MCC/JOC and gives you the valuable skills to not only ensure you pass your airline sim assessment, but to teach you the core skills which will set you up for the rest of your career.

The quality of the training is fantastic, you receive a well-structured package including one to one tuition and regular assessments. After already investing so much in my training, it made sense to choose the best option for the final part. I’m so glad I chose to do the Wings Alliance APS MCC course as I received offers from several airlines, passed my sim assessment and secured my dream airline job.
