Skyborne is the most respected and trusted commercial pilot training academy in the industry, delivering airline-ready pilots, and to achieve this we are radically redefining every aspect of airline pilot training, from our unique educational approach to our world-class facilities. We are fully committed to developing a dynamic, engaging and welcoming environment for the next generation of airline pilots to hone their skills.

Based in Gloucestershire in the UK , with flight training partners in the US, we have amazing facilities and the right balance between training and self-motivated learning. Our Progressive Continuous Learning method focuses on ensuring you are always developing your talents and absorbing new skills from our vastly experienced instructors. Start your journey to becoming a professional airline pilot today by choosing to fly with Skyborne.

Skyborne’s UK CAA Theoretical ATPL provides 767 hours of ground school training; cadets can expect sessions to be both tutor lead, by our experienced industry instructors, and interactive, you will be tasked with complex problem-solving scenarios. As you progress through the course you will see how subjects in the classroom interlink as you take part in observation flights and conduct familiarisation work in our Alsim DA42 and B737 MAX simulators.

At Skyborne we believe by getting the fundamentals of ground school training right as you begin your pilot training will significantly improve your results as you continue your pilot journey, therefore we do not encourage rote based learning.
