How to become an RAF Pilot

In order to train as an RAF pilot, you’ll have to pass a series of mental and physical tests, and you’ll have to be medically fit. You’ll also need to meet a set of non-academic requirements and these can be found on the RAF website.

You will also be expected to have a good level of education, including GCSEs and A-levels and may need a degree for some roles.
