At HeliSpeed Academy, we remain at the forefront of our industry, working with operators all over the world to create multiple career pathways for our students.

Find the right helicopter training course for you
Whether you’re new to the aviation industry and fancy a trial lesson, or you’re an experienced pilot looking to gain new skills – you’ve come to the right place.
We offer helicopter pilot training programmes in-house and also facilitate courses at the best training schools around the world. To be a helicopter training academy, you need a helicopter pilot license from the civil training aviation authority and that license is to conduct training under an ATO (approved training organisation). Each EASA CAA training course has to be approved by the CAA. If we don’t offer the course you’re searching for, let us know and we may be able to get ATO approved for the specific course you’re interested in.

Top Tip
Did you know there are two types of training schools: Declared Training Organisation (DTO) and Approved Training Organisations (ATO)? Due to the higher qualifications needed within an ATO, only they can perform advanced helicopter training courses. Don’t forget to ask your school what qualification they have!
