Helicentre Aviation after attending the Heli UK Expo on the 3rd-4th June has now announced brand new scholarships for 2015. During the Heli UK Expo, Helicentre Aviation was able to promote the Flight Training center to the Helicopter community and to new potential student’s eager to begin their training.

Helicentre Aviation Academy has announced it will be awarding several helicopter pilot training scholarships in 2015. The company has so far awarded four scholarships to trainee helicopter pilots and will this summer will be awarding a further five scholarships totaling around £100,000 in value. By 2015 a total of fifteen training scholarships will have been awarded.

The 2015 scholarships which will provide funding to selected pilots across various stages of their training will be awarded next summer, although the final deadline for applications is yet to be released. The scholarship programme is open to trainee pilots at Helicentre Aviation Academy and the entry criteria, as well as confirmation of the number of scholarships to be awarded will be announced in the next month.

Advice from Captain Sarah Bowen, Managing Director and Chief Flying Instructor, is to start the process as early as possible to ensure the entry requirements are met before the deadline. “We are currently flying some 600 hours per month on pilot training and places on our professional programmes are booking up months in advance, particularly on the Cabri G2” she remarked.
