My Son Dreams of Becoming a Pilot: How Can We Help Him Achieve His Goal?

Ans: Sir,
Getting a professional pilot license is very costly. To become a pilot, one must be strong in Mathematics and calculations, and your son has that. You must go for a professional pilot course for your son.

Ans: Hello Munira,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that you son is studying the IGCSE curriculum. Concerning your question as to what are his prospects in India and abroad, I would like to tell you that we only deal with overseas education. To answer your question first, I would like to let you know that your son will be provided with a solid academic foundation that is globally acclaimed if he continues with the IGCSE curriculum until O level. You would be glad to know that a number of possibilities for him to pursue higher education or employment overseas may be opened through this educational path. Owing to their strict requirements as well as compliance with global educational criteria, the IGCSE qualifications are highly appreciated by a number of nations and institutions. As your son aspires to become a pilot, I would recommend that he focuses on STEM disciplines viz., Mathematics and Physics as these would be advantageous. A solid foundation in the scientific ideas that drive aviation are provided by these subjects. Not just that, after completing O levels, pursuing further studies in aviation sciences, aeronautical engineering, or even attending specialized programs in pilot training could pave the way for your son to become a pilot. I would like to tell you that although difficult, it’s a gratifying career that can be aided by a robust academic foundation, such as the one provided by the IGCSE curriculum.

Ans: One option could be to complete his B.E. in CSE first and then pursue his pilot training. Becoming a pilot involves significant financial investment. The cost of obtaining a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in India typically ranges between ?30-40 lakhs (it may be more), and it can be higher if training abroad. This cost is often over and above any other educational expenses.
