Shape the next generation of future pilots

Leading Edge Aviation’s Theoretical Knowledge Instructors (TKI’s) play a critical role in influencing the next generation of pilots before they even step foot into an aircraft. Our instructors don’t just teach ground school subjects; they provide the academic groundwork for a lifetime of safe, knowledgeable flying.

We are searching for motivated Theoretical Knowledge Instructors to join our growing team in Oxford and Alhama, Southern Spain. Whether you’re an experienced aviation professional with a passion for teaching or looking to apply your aviation expertise in a new, effective way, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Leading Edge Aviation?

What Our Theoretical Knowledge Instructors Are Saying

“Being a TKI is the best job I have ever had. Every course has its own unique dynamic and character that make every day different. Being part of someone's learning journey is such a privilege, whether it's in the classroom delivering a lesson, offering a sympathetic ear when they need it or having one of those "can I just borrow you for a second" moments. I remember fondly my own time in ground school and I love being able to offer people the same experience that I had. I still get excited on results day, and I love even more seeing an ex-student send me a photo of them in the flight deck.”

Theoretical Knowledge Instructor, Oxford Campus
"Being based at an active airport with a variety of aircraft operating in and out of here does help to enthuse the ground school students. One only has to look out the window to see the entire training path represented by ALL the aircraft here. For those with no previous experience of the aviation environment, one hopes that this is inspiring. We have an exceptional range and depth of skills and experience drawn from both military and civil roles. This leads to enlightening conversations that we all learn from.”
