Sponsoring Pilot Training: Briefing for Operators

Operators struggling to recruit qualified flight crew can sponsor seats on Lumen courses and hire the graduates directly. This briefing explains how.

Principal Sabine Aalto will outline the academy's accreditation and pass rates. Careers manager Inês Carvalho will walk through the sponsorship process: how operators select candidates, how service commitments work, and how sponsored seats on courses such as the Heavy Freight Type Rating, Ore Hauler Type Rating and Medevac Flight Operations are allocated each intake.

The session is intended for operators' crew planning and recruitment teams.

Operators already sponsoring seats will describe their experience, including how they choose candidates and how service commitments work in practice. Attendees will receive a guide to sponsorship costs per course and the current waiting times for each intake.
