Ravenair does not currently offer training for the Commercial Pilot's Licence or Airline Transport Pilot's Licence Theoretical Knowledge Examinations, but we can offer suggestions of commercial groundschool providers.
During your training there is specific equipment that you will require.
To obtain your flight equipment, Ravenair would recommend Pooleys, who offer a wide selection of equipment and literature.

The FI course at Ravenair Liverpool was not only thoroughly enjoyable, but it was also of great benefit to my aviation knowledge, aircraft handling and my continued pilot career.
I found the training to be first class
The instructors were both brilliant, knowledgeable, experienced, positive and very encouraging. They pushed and worked me hard throughout the course and my training programme was really well strucutured. I'm delighted that I chose Ravenair for my planned career change.
