This sounds a bit dubious, but giving you the benefit of the troll doubt:

Look at this website: https://www.caa.co.uk/Blog-Posts/How-to-become-a-commercial-pilot/

You need to do some proper research by looking into the respected and trusted organisations within the airline industry. Becoming a pilot is a dream of many school boys that unfortunately, few will ever achieve.

The simple reason is that competition is fierce - worse than that for places at top universities in law and medicine. So you will need to be at the top of your game.

Then there is the question of costs which will be upwards of £100,000 over a two or more year span. More if you opt for a university degree up front.

A career as an airline pilot can be very rewarding. But, it is vital that anyone contemplating a career on the flight deck does some serious homework before taking the first step.

Good luck, but please do be realistic and always have a fall-back plan.
