CTC Wings Cadet programme

Due to the very large number of applications we receive, we regret that we are not in a position to answer any questions by telephone, letter or personal visits.
Any queries should be channeled through this site, but if we have not answered everything you want to know here then, during selection, there will be ample opportunity to discuss your individual queries.

No cadet training programme guarantees a job. The commitment we give is that, subject to a satisfactory performance in training and no change to our partner airline recruitment plans, we will make every effort to ensure that our graduates are placed through us.

We have one of, if not the, best placement record of the Flight Training Organisations in the UK and we continue to place pilots even in the current climate.

Our policy on this is as follows:

• Re-assessment will only be allowed to specifically identified applicants following a detailed appraisal by the selection team who conducted the assessment stage that resulted in a rejection. 

• Those individuals who are assessed as suitable for re-assessment will be advised either during the assessment day or by e-mail. If you do not receive notification advising you of this status then you should assume that a re-assessment opportunity has not been judged appropriate in the circumstances 

• Normally, such re-assessment opportunities will only be offered not less than 6 months after the applicant’s initial date of completed application. When it is considered appropriate, CTC will advise the candidate by e-mail of the date on which a re-assessment is scheduled. 

• If you are advised that re-application is possible for you, but you do not wish to wait you may choose to opt for the CTC Wings iCP route and details of this offer will be provided during your assessment process.

Please note that an applicant’s initial application will remain on our database and thus there is no benefit, nor need, to complete a further application form through our internet application system.

MEDICAL AND TRAVEL INSURANCE:

International students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand.

The CTC Wings programme is sponsored by Airline Placement Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of CTC Aviation Group plc) and this sponsorship (as well as the British Airways Future Pilot Programme) also requires the deposit of a security bond.  By virtue of this programme structure, CTC Wings Cadet pilots can, therefore, be supplied to BA in the event the airline requires an additional cadet pilot intake over and above those selected onto the Future Pilot Programme.   This is the only route of entry to join BA as a cadet pilot other than the Future pilot Programme.
