Ryanair Future Flyer Academy Flight Training Programme – The newly launched Future Flyer Academy (formerly known as Ryanair Mentored Programme) gives individuals with little to no prior aviation experience, who dream of becoming airline pilots, the unique opportunity to enrol in one of our part-sponsored flight training programmes in order to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence and have a direct path to become a future Ryanair Pilot. Ryanair has carefully selected our pilot training partners due to their high standards in training. Only our official partners are listed on the Ryanair website and are endorsed by Ryanair’s Training Department.

Conditional Job Offer & Bonded Type Rating – Ryanair students from an Integrated Ab-initio or Modular Gateway 1 programme will receive a conditional job offer upon enrolment and are eligible for a bonded B737 type rating with no up-front cost at the end of the initial training! Graduates from the Future Flyer Academy, not only get a guaranteed final assessment but also have an exclusive fast-tracked recruitment process and will be given preference during initial selection. In addition to that, programme graduates will enjoy a distinct advantage at the actual interview and assessment stage as they will be taught using Ryanair procedures and will get exposure to our safety culture and operational philosophy from day one of the programme.

Competency Ensured – Prior to trainee pilots committing to a large investment they are assessed by our Partner ATOs to firstly ensure that they have the capability to successfully complete pilot training and that they are suitable to become a future Ryanair pilot. This pre-assessment helps to ensure the 98% pass rate at the final Ryanair Cadet assessment. In the off-chance that a Ryanair Student fails at the final Ryanair assessment, comprehensive feedback is provided to the partner ATO’s Head of Training and, subject to approval, additional training and support may be provided to the student prior to completing a 2nd assessment with Ryanair, as soon as possible.
