Graduates airline placements

Leading Edge Aviation turns three years old

Leading Edge Aviation graduates secure roles with multiple airlines

Leading Edge Aviation (LEAL) are delighted with the recent news that a further selection of their graduates have recently secured roles as commercial pilots with leading airlines. Following on from previous placements such as those with British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair. LEAL graduates have recently secured roles with Ryanair, Loganair, Aurigny & most recently 5 placements with Wizz Air.

Students training at LEAL not only benefit from their tech focussed training and bespoke courses, but also from the wealth of experience, with many current serving airline pilots also contributing to Ground, Flight & MCC training. Their Integrated course, LEAP (Leading Edge Airline Preparation), includes a 3-day graduate service course where students are coached on airline cv writing, how to excel in selection processes and interview techniques.

Chief Talent Officer Katie Broadhurst comments “We are immensely proud of all our graduates. Not only have they achieved a qualification that is difficult to complete, but they have also shown great resilience throughout the pandemic.  It’s been a particularly difficult time for everyone in the aviation industry so seeing our graduates achieve their dreams is the perfect end to one era, but more importantly the start of a very exciting one for them.”

LEAL run Modular & Integrated (LEAP with BSc degree) courses with a monthly intake, and in addition run a bespoke uMAP course, a bespoke Modular course designed to perfectly compliment the Air Transport with Commercial Pilot Training degree offered at many universities such as BNU.

This announcement follows recent news of LEAL’s growing airline relationships with both Wizz Air and Ryanair visiting to talk about the industry with their students and graduates.
