Eligibility

Eight things that decide if you are ready to apply

If most of these apply to you, you are in good shape to start the conversation. If you are unsure on any point, the admissions call is for that.

Age 17+

You can begin the application from age 17. There is no upper age limit.

Basic English

Aviation is taught and operated in English. Conversational level is enough to start.

Aviation medical

Class I or Class II medical examination. We can help you arrange it.

Documents

Two passport-sized photographs and basic identification.

Identification

Valid passport, or willingness to apply for one before training begins.

Theory readiness

Pass a basic written exam (Air Law and Procedures). Preparation is part of the program.

License fee

SA-CAA charges its own license fees. Admissions explains the breakdown.

No experience needed

Most applicants start at zero hours. The pathway is built for that.

Not sure if you qualify?

Most uncertainty resolves on a call.

Education uncertainty, document gaps, medical worries, timeline questions. The admissions call is built to answer them. If you are not a fit, we tell you that too.

Admissions questions

What students and parents most often ask

I have a diploma, not a high school certificate. Can I apply?

Often yes. Aviation training does not require a single specific certificate, but we review your record on the call to confirm.

I am applying after university. Is that fine?

Yes, university graduates are welcome. There is no upper age limit and your background is an asset.

What documents do I need before training begins?

Valid passport, aviation medical (Class I or II), and the SPL application. We assist with each step.

Are there any guarantees about jobs or licenses?

No. We do not guarantee jobs, license outcomes, or fast-track timelines. Anyone who promises that is not being honest.

What happens if I am not ready yet?

We tell you straight, and explain what to prepare so you can apply later from a stronger position.

Can my parent or guardian be on the call?

Yes. Parents are welcome on the admissions call. We answer their questions directly.
