"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."

Colbourn, First Officer, Flybe |

"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".
