To enroll in the New Zealand Airline Academy, applicants must meet specific criteria. Candidates must be at least 17 years old and hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Proficiency in English, verified through tests like IELTS or TOEFL, is mandatory for non-native speakers.
Medical fitness is critical; a Class 1 Medical Certificate from an approved aviation medical examiner is required. Applicants must pass aptitude tests assessing cognitive and motor skills. A clean criminal record and the ability to obtain necessary visas are also essential. Financial readiness to cover tuition and living expenses is expected, as scholarships are limited.
