Hi Madeline. Does the typical AAC pilot have a degree. Are those who have a degree favoured for selection? Thanks Archie

I have the necessary GCSE and A-levels plus merchant navy qualifications. I do not have a degree. I have noticed with pilots a trend in holding a degree. I am looking at a career change and considering pursuing a career as an officer. I look forward to your reply!

    Hi Archie,

    Thanks for your question. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you as I have been abroad on exercise.

    There is no requirement to hold a degree to become an Army pilot, either as a soldier or officer. Many pilot's do have a degree but it is definitely not a pre-requisite. There is no preferential treatment to anyone who holds a degree - potential pilots are selected based on their ability to pass the selection tests and their character.

    Hope that helps.

    Take care,
    Maddie
