Introducing The Viridis Pilot Pathway

The Viridis Pilot Pathway
‍As the aviation industry continues to expand, the demand for qualified pilots has never been higher and will continue to grow. The Viridis Pilot Pathway offers a solution to this challenge, targeting employers to help bridge the gap between aspiring pilots and the skies. The Viridis Pilot Pathway not only supports the growth of the aviation industry but also ensures a steady influx of skilled pilots equipped with comprehensive industry knowledge and ground-level experience.

A Win-Win for Employers and Employees
‍At Viridis Aviation, we understand the financial and logistical barriers that aspiring pilots face. Traditional pathways to a piloting career often involve insurmountable financial outlay and time away from work, making it prohibitive for many. The Viridis Pilot Pathway is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing workforce, providing a structured and cost-effective solution that benefits both employers and employees.

‍How Does It Work?
Dual Employment and Training Model
Our approach combines employment with flight training, enabling candidates to retain their current roles and responsibilities within your company while completing their pilot training. This ensures that your company retains valuable staff members who contribute to your operations while showing your support for their long-term ambitions.

Flexibility for New and Existing Employees
Employers can choose to advertise this opportunity for new hires or offer it to existing employees. This flexibility allows you to attract fresh talent or invest in the development of your current workforce, enhancing employee satisfaction and retention. The Viridis Pilot Pathway supports candidates from the initial Private Pilot Licence (PPL) right through to obtaining a frozen Airline Transport Pilot Licence (fATPL).

Adjustable Pay-As-You-Go Structure
‍The Viridis Pilot Pathway puts you in control of both time and cost. For organisations looking to urgently drive pilot recruitment, the Viridis Pilot Pathway can support candidates completing in as little as two years. For organisations making more longer-term plans, or those looking to spread the outlay, we can support candidates looking to complete their fATPL qualification in the medium-term also.

Training Modules
All training is delivered through UK CAA Approved Training Organisations. Our structured, modular programme includes both theoretical and practical components. Our approach ensures that candidates develop a well-rounded understanding of aviation, combining learning with hands-on experience.

‍The Viridis Portal
‍The Viridis online platform serves as the central hub for managing the training process. This user-friendly portal offers a range of features to support both the candidate and the employer:

• Transparent Funding and Progress Tracking. Both employers and candidates have full visibility of training funds and progress through the Viridis Portal. This transparency ensures that all parties are informed and can monitor the candidate's journey from the ground role to the cockpit.
• Training Requests and Scheduling. Candidates can request additional training sessions and schedule their modules directly through the portal, allowing for a personalised training plan that fits around their employment commitments.
• Mentor Support and Communication. The portal also facilitates easy communication between candidates and mentors, providing ongoing support and guidance throughout their training. This ensures that candidates always have access to the resources they need to succeed.
