Cebu Pacific Cadet Pilot Program

The Cebu Pacific (CEB) cadet pilot program is a 56-week program that recruits candidates to train to become licenced commercial pilots and join the corps of aviators at Cebu Pacific, flying domestic and international routes. Successful candidates will be sent for study and training at Flight Training Adelaide (FTA), in Australia.

The program is a ‘study-now-pay-later’ scheme where CEB shoulders the program cost and successful candidates repay CEB in instalments once they are employed by the airline.

Students who successfully complete all the phases of the program will gain the following nationally recognised qualifications in the Australian Qualifications Framework:

• AVI50219 Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane)
• AVI50519 Diploma of Aviation (Instrument Rating)
