Student stories

Our graduates are flying the world.

Did my MEP, MEIR and CPL here. Aircraft and instructor availability was amazing. High quality instruction and a great environment to be in. Staff are incredibly friendly and you feel valued.
Aeros graduateMEP, MEIR and CPL
Thank you for all your time, hard work, patience and professionalism over the past 15 months. Your first-class approach helped me through all the challenges of my MEIR and CPL. I have come away a more confident and well-rounded pilot and will be grateful to take this into my career. Thanks for your consistently high standards.
AnthonyMEIR and CPL graduate
I cannot speak highly enough about my training experience at Aeros Flight Training. Aeros gave us access to reliable aircraft and industry-leading instructors, as well as the freedom to plan our flights months in advance. I went from finishing my ATPLs to being fully qualified in a matter of weeks. Aeros supported me through to airline assessment and showed true professionalism every step of the way.
Bradley NaughtonFirst Officer, Wizz Air
I very recently concluded my MEP, MEIR and CPL block with Aeros Leeds East and the experience went far beyond my initial expectations. It is the culture at Aeros that I applaud most. I would urge anyone looking to embark on their own training journey to consider Aeros. I left with the qualifications I needed and as a far better pilot too.
Scott MacBainMEP, MEIR and CPL graduate
A huge thank you to the team at Aeros for their support in completing hour building, IRR, MEP, MEIR and CPL in just over four months with first-time passes all around. The instruction and organisation have been first class, and I have loved every minute.
Nialls WhyleyCommercial pilot graduate
I completed my MEIR and CPL training at Aeros in Gloucester and had a really good time. Their pay-as-you-go option gave me real flexibility, and I felt supported throughout the course. When I needed extra instruction or alterations to my schedule, the team were quick and accommodating. Aeros instructors provide a professional and supportive environment. I cannot recommend Aeros enough.
Pedro GomesFirst Officer, Wizz Air
I passed my base training with TUI today. My first time flying the 737 was amazing. I would once again like to thank the Aeros team for getting me through flight training.
