At Aviation Academy Scotland, we understand that flight training is a significant investment, and we aim to provide flexible payment options to help students manage costs. While we do not currently offer in-house financing, there are several ways to fund your training.
1. Pay As You Train – Flexible Payment Model
Unlike many flight schools that require large upfront payments, we operate on a Pay As You Train model, meaning:
You only pay for lessons as you take them.
No large lump sums are required upfront.
You have full control over your financial commitment at each stage of training.
2. External Finance & Loan Options
Some students choose to finance their training through external sources, including:
Personal loans – Many banks offer personal loans for professional training.
Specialist aviation finance providers – Some lenders specialise in funding pilot training.
Career development loans – Depending on eligibility, certain financial institutions offer training-related loans.
We recommend speaking with a financial advisor to explore the best options for your situation.
3. Employer or Sponsorship Support
In some cases, students may be eligible for:
Employer-sponsored training programs if currently working in aviation.
Military or government funding options (subject to eligibility).
4. Can I Pay in Installments?
While we do not offer direct financing, some students choose to prepay in structured installments to better manage their budget. Speak to our team to discuss possible options.
