Pro Access Career program

We offer our commercial graduates the opportunity to take part in a paid internship in order to help them build up their flight time.

Pro Access Career Details

Concerned about the integration of young pilots into the job market, Passport Hélico limits registration in this program to eight students annually. This allows most of our graduates to qualify and thus obtain a first work contract.

Since we offered the ACS (2017), all our graduates have benefited from an internship that has enabled them to accumulate an average of 150 hours of professional flight, thus opening access to the industry.
