Requirements
Being a pilot entails great responsibility and there are certain important requirements students must fulfill.
An applicant must have completed and passed upper secondary education, in accordance with the Norwegian Vocational Education Act (fagskoleloven), section 16.
Applicants who have not completed and/or passed upper secondary education, but who are aged 23 years or older in the year of admission, may be admitted based on equivalent prior learning and work experience, in accordance with section 7 in the vocational education regulations (fagskoleforskriften). In such case, the applicant will need to submit documentation of relevant prior learning and work experience to the academy, and have their application individually assessed.
