What our ex-students say...

Will Snuggs - First Officer Astraeus Airlines B757


"Stapleford Flight Centre is quite simply the finest in UK flight training schools. It provides flight and ground training of the highest quality, delivered by instructors who want YOU to succeed!

Stapleford took me from complete novice to fATPL in 18 months, enabled me to pass PPL,ATPL's, CPL, ME & IR first time and have a great time along the way. Thanks to the quality of the training at Stapleford I was fortunate enough to secure a position on the Boeing 757 with Astraeus shortly after completion of my training and am thoroughly enjoying it!

I think it is important to add that this didn't come easily and required and awful lot of sacrifice and hard work, but the quality of instruction made it considerably easier than it could've been!

In conclusion I would say to those who want to come out of flight training feeling a sense of success and who want to be a competent, skilled and able pilot to chose SFC. I know this is how I felt and I am now very fortunate to be in the situation I am".

"After researching the various options for flying training, I joined Stapleford in August 2004. I found Stapleford offered excellent training with good availability of aircraft and sound support from ground staff and instructors alike.

The modular training meant I had the flexibility I wanted in my training, however, I was still able to complete my zero to f(ATPL) in little over 16 months with first time passes.

Two months later I completed my MCC and a month after that I was offered a position on a Boeing 757 course with Bond Aviation Solutions in Gatwick with a view to a job with Astraeus Ltd.

22 months after my first flight in a Cessna 152 and at a total cost similar to that paid to an integrated school for basic training, I secured a contract with Astraeus thanks to the support and hard work of SFC".

"I had heard about SFC some years before I enrolled there for my CPL/ME IR and had therefore watched it develop over a number of years. Initially I had not given it too much thought, instead looking at the other higher-profile FTO's.

But as time passed I became increasingly aware of their growing reputation within both the airline and G/A world. This, allied with ever improving first time pass rates for both the CPL and ME/IR as well as good value for money, convinced me that this was the best school for me.

The training at SFC is of the highest quality and the instructors were all very helpful and easy to get along with. I passed all flight tests first time and in close to minimum time. I was employed as a First Officer with Ryanair three months after completion of my course and had also attended interviews for Cityjet".

"I researched all of the JAA Modular and integrated courses throughout the UK and Europe in 2002, and can honestly say that I know I made the right choice by attending Stapleford Flight Centre for my JAA modular course.

I completed my flight training successfully with SFC with all first time passes, due to the expert training, facilities and mentoring from the experienced instructors. I paid almost half that of other integrated courses from other schools, and still gained all first time passes and a frozen ATPL within 18 months.

Three months after passing my instrument rating and after being recommended by SFC to attend their MCC Course, I got my first airline job as a first officer flying the B737-800 for Ryanair".

"There are a lot of options when choosing a professional flight school for a modular course, the important selling points for me were the quality of training, professionalism and of course affordability. Stapleford ticked all these boxes and prepared me well for commercial operations.

At Stapleford,  the modular course gives the flexibility to work around you. The staff were very helpful, training was first-class which allowed me to complete all tests with first time passes."

"After having completed my PPL and subsequently having gained a few hours of private flying, my objective was to find a flying school with which to achieve my CPL/IR via the modular route of training.

After some research, Stapleford Flight Centre seemed to have all the attributes for what I was looking for from a commercial training perspective; costing, reputation (they had been recommended by friends), location, and professionalism coupled with approachability and friendliness.

After a thoroughly enjoyable 5 months at Stapleford and first-time passes in my CPL/IR, Stapleford Flight Centre really did live up to everything I had hoped. They really did deliver what they said they could".
