Step 1: Determine Your Goals and choose your path
Paragraph
:
Before you begin your pilot training, itâs essential to determine what
type of pilot
you want to become. Do you want to fly for a
commercial airline
? Maybe you want to be a
corporate pilot
? Maybe you prefer a career in
general aviation
, such as flying
small private planes
or working as a
flight instructor
? Each path requires different training and qualifications, so itâs essential to do your research and decide whatâs best for you. Determining your goals will help you choose the appropriate training and certification. There is a specific episode in our series of videos on Youtube that explains all of this, in this case episode 2 âPathways to become a pilotâ.
Step 2: Meet ALL the Requirements, before you start
To become a pilot, you need to meet certain requirements. Firstly, you must be at least
18 years old
for commercial pilot training. You must also be able to
read, speak, and understand English fluently
. Additionally, you must have a valid
medical certificate class 1
issued by an aviation medical examiner.
The European Standard doesnât establish a minimum academic criteria to access pilot training. Having sufficient
physical and mental maturity
to demonstrate the corresponding knowledge and aptitudes is the only thing required.
You will be able to see EVERYTHING about the medical class one certificate in episode 3 âEverything about The Medical Certificateâ of our series of videos on Youtube.
Step 3: Find the Right Flight School
To start your aviation journey, youâll need to find a flight school where you can learn to fly. There are many flight schools worldwide, offering various types of training programs. To choose the right school, consider factors like location, quality-cost ratio, and the schoolâs reputation.
At
EASÂ Barcelona
we are eager to explain, face to face, why we should be YOUR flight school. We are in one of the greatest locations for flight training in Spain, just 30 minutes from Barcelona, in
Sabadell airport
. Our quality is of the highest standards and is aligned with a reasonable cost of training. The reviews from our students speak for ourselves.
Step 4: Get the Necessary Training
To become a pilot, you must complete a rigorous training program that includes both
ground school
and
flight training
. You will see the complete process and every detail from episode 3 âThe ATPL Theoryâ up to episode 14 âThe CPL Ratingâ. Itâs essential to choose a reputable school or program that will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to become a successful pilot. You have two ways to become a pilot when doing it with EAS. The
integrated way
, which is fast and efficient. And the
modular way
which is a bit slower but very flexible. Both are great ways to become a pilot, you can read the details on both ways on our websiteâs respective pages for each course. On both you will need to go through all the ratings up to CPL, including the newest UPRT necessary qualification. If you want to go to the Airlines you will also need the MCC-APS which is included in our integrated program.
Step 5: Apply for a job!
Once you have all your pilotâs licenses and flight experience, you can begin applying for jobs. There are many types of job with low hours pilots such as flight instruction, however more and more airlines are hiring fresh pilots out of the flight academies, and now is a great moment to take advantage.
Becoming a pilot requires hard work, dedication, and a passion for aviation. By following the steps outlined in this article and obtaining the necessary training with EAS Barcelona you can achieve your dream of becoming a pilot.
Good luck on your journey!

## Step 1: Determine Your Goals and choose your path
***Paragraph*:** Before you begin your pilot training, itâs essential to determine what **type of pilot** you want to become. Do you want to fly for a **commercial airline**? Maybe you want to be a **corporate pilot**? Maybe you prefer a career in **general aviation**, such as flying **small private planes** or working as a **flight instructor**? Each path requires different training and qualifications, so itâs essential to do your research and decide whatâs best for you. Determining your goals will help you choose the appropriate training and certification. There is a specific episode in our series of videos on Youtube that explains all of this, in this case episode 2 âPathways to become a pilotâ.
## Step 2: Meet ALL the Requirements, before you start
To become a pilot, you need to meet certain requirements. Firstly, you must be at least **18 years old** for commercial pilot training. You must also be able to **read, speak, and understand English fluently**. Additionally, you must have a valid **medical certificate class 1** issued by an aviation medical examiner.
The European Standard doesnât establish a minimum academic criteria to access pilot training. Having sufficient **physical and mental maturity** to demonstrate the corresponding knowledge and aptitudes is the only thing required.
You will be able to see EVERYTHING about the medical class one certificate in episode 3 âEverything about The Medical Certificateâ of our series of videos on Youtube.
## Step 3: Find the Right Flight School
To start your aviation journey, youâll need to find a flight school where you can learn to fly. There are many flight schools worldwide, offering various types of training programs. To choose the right school, consider factors like location, quality-cost ratio, and the schoolâs reputation.
At **[EAS Barcelona](https://easbcn.com/)** we are eager to explain, face to face, why we should be YOUR flight school. We are in one of the greatest locations for flight training in Spain, just 30 minutes from Barcelona, in **Sabadell airport**. Our quality is of the highest standards and is aligned with a reasonable cost of training. The reviews from our students speak for ourselves.
