Bristol Groundschool Announced as Jet2.com Recognised Training Partner

United Kingdom – ATPL theory provider Bristol Groundschool has become Jet2.com’s first recognised modular training partner, enabling eligible students to enter the airline’s Jet2NextGen future pilot talent programme during their theoretical training.

• Students can be considered for Jet2.com tagging after sitting their first four ATPL examinations, with overall academic performance and first-attempt results forming part of the airline’s assessment.
• Jet2.com will use the initiative to identify potential recruits at an earlier stage and maintain contact with them while they complete the remaining elements of their commercial pilot training.
• Tagged status does not constitute a job offer or guaranteed airline position. Students must continue to meet Jet2.com’s eligibility criteria and successfully complete all required training, assessments and selection stages.
• Bristol Groundschool launched a 2026 ATPL scholarship earlier in July that also included eligibility for Jet2.com tagging, subject to the recipient meeting the airline’s requirements. The latest announcement extends the recognition route to eligible students across the groundschool’s wider modular intake. 

Statements

• “We are delighted to become the first recognised modular Jet2.com partner and to offer our students this exciting opportunity. Modular training has long been recognised as an accessible and highly effective route into the flight deck, and this partnership demonstrates the confidence that one of the UK’s leading airlines has in both our training and our students. Being tagged by Jet2.com gives our students the opportunity to be recognised early in their professional journey and provides a clear pathway towards a future airline career, provided they continue to meet the required standards. We’re proud to support aspiring pilots as they take the next step towards achieving their ambitions,” said Gill Fowkes, Commercial Director at Bristol Groundschool.
• “Given that ATPL theory is often the first major milestone on the journey to becoming a commercial airline pilot, we’re delighted to recognise Bristol Groundschool as our first recognised modular training partner. With a long-standing reputation for high standards and developing knowledgeable, motivated trainees, Bristol Groundschool plays an important role in the modular training pathway. This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting future pilot talent from the very start of their training journey, while providing a clear and structured route towards a career with Jet2.com,” said Josh Raven, Future Pilot Programme Manager at Jet2.com.
