PAUL HODGETTS
Wizz Air First Officer

“I started at Wizz Air in October 2023, having completed my training with Leading Edge in August 2023.

I cannot thank Leading Edge enough for helping me secure my job as a Wizz Air First Officer, and providing the training to make my transition to commercial flying as seamless as possible. From the graduate services team making sure I went into my assessment confident and prepared, to the MCC course and instructors, who equipped me with the skills and knowledge needed for my type rating.

I am now working towards 1000hrs on the A320 and absolutely loving flying for Wizz!”
