“I choose to do the CPL ME/IR at Stapleford as it was a school, I knew gave excellent instruction and had a reputation within the aviation industry for training high quality pilots. I also knew that as I wanted both a UK and EASA licence, they were best placed in terms of experience to help me on this journey.
Once I started, I soon realised that they were extremely professional and a well organised ATO, Not just the instructors but the staff behind the scenes, always willing to go out of their way to help me whenever I needed them.
I not only thoroughly enjoyed my training with them, but the instructors were outstanding both in their knowledge but also more importantly their teaching methods and their ability to pass that knowledge onto the students. This proved invaluable not only during my training but now in my role as a first officer. The knowledge and methods of flying helped me not only pass but also stand out throughout airline selection assessments and every day commercial flying.
I carried out a lot of research prior to choosing a flight school, I knew what I wanted from a school in terms of aircraft and outcome but what I didn’t realise was how important the quality of instruction is. Stapleford’s instructors unquestionably gave me that top quality of instruction that I am so forever grateful to them.”
"I first began my flight training in 2016 and obtained a private pilot a few years later. At this point I decided to embark upon my commercial flight training and decided to do this at Stapleford Flight Centre in 2019. I followed the modular course and completed my theoretical knowledge exams, Multi engine course, Instrument rating course and commercial course in close succession. They were all completed successfully with high pass marks, and they could not have been achieved without the professionalism and efficient teaching of the flight instructors.
They would always do their best to accommodate me and push me through the course as quick as possible despite challenges such as the pandemic, whilst also ensuring an efficient level of training. I also felt as if I was always provided with a one-to-one service directly tailored to me and my needs. It has been a brilliant experience for me and having completed my commercial flight training, I am about to embark on the Pilot Apprenticeship with Jet 2 , which has been a lifelong goal.
I would certainly recommend this flight school to others looking to embark upon their flight training and I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my aspirations without it".
"I highly recommend Stapleford Flight Centre due to the quality of training and level of service I was provided from start to finish. On my first visit to Stapleford, I sat down with Lisa who explained the course structure in detail and gave me the various options available. I was able to tailor my course around full time employment and I received great value for money. The quality of training I received was excellent which enabled me to pass every LST first time with ease.
Its also worth noting the school’s proximity to EASA airspace for students looking to hold UK & EASA dual licence. I had a great experience with Stapleford, and I would highly recommend this flight school for any amateur pilot looking to become a professional pilot".

When requesting a clearance into the new Southend CAS, from April 2nd 2015, it would be advisable to quote the CTA number(s) that you want clearance into.
