Training
Air ambulance helicopter training
Courses that give you the ratings and the skills to qualify for further helicopter training and for work in airborne emergency services.
Our courses are not aimed directly at teaching you to fly an air ambulance, but they give you the underlying ratings you need in order to qualify for that training.
Training for helicopter emergency service work
Our courses cover a range of areas that matter in helicopter-based emergency work, including:
- Air law and safety: the air law and the procedures that govern helicopter flying on emergency operations, and how safety on board is managed.
- Communication and crew cooperation: communicating and working effectively with medical teams and flight crew in order to complete a mission.
- Helicopter systems and navigation: understanding the technical systems on board, and navigating in varying weather and difficult terrain.
What our helicopter courses give you
- Build your competence: our courses give you the general competence required to qualify to fly an air ambulance or to work in air ambulance operations.
- Practical experience: through exercises and simulation you apply what you have learned in realistic scenarios.
- Preparation for emergency work: our courses prepare you to work effectively and safely in the demanding environment air ambulance flying involves.
Courses that qualify you for air ambulance flying
