Questions

Questions about training in Europe

Is there a fee to talk to you?

No. The first counselling call to check eligibility and map your route costs nothing, and there is no deposit to talk to us.

Who delivers the training?

Independent partner flight schools in Europe, under their national authority. Pilots Assist does not run a school or own aircraft.

Is a visa guaranteed?

No. We help prepare your file; the embassy or immigration office makes the decision.

Will an EASA licence work in my country?

Conversion depends on your regulator. We plan it from day one and set out each route on the country pages.

Does it guarantee a job?

No. Hiring is the airline's decision.
