Leading Edge Aviation Limited (LEAL) has launched a ‘deposit refund guarantee’, allowing cadets to sign up to LEAL training programmes and airline sponsored programmes concurrently, with a guarantee that any deposits made with the ATO will be refunded if a cadet is subsequently accepted to join an airline sponsored programme.
According to LEAL the aviation industry has seen a significant surge in applications for airline funded training programmes. This is creating uncertainty and delays for many prospective students.
As a result, LEAL is offering a full refund of their deposit to any student who secures a spot in an airline-funded training programme after enrolling in a Leading Edge Aviation training programme.
The deposit refund offer launched on 01 September 2023 and will run until 31 December 2023, applicable to all students who sign up for a LEAL training programme during this period.
CCO at Leading Edge Aviation, Andi Alexander, said, “We understand the uncertainty and anxiety that many aspiring pilots are facing in the current landscape. With the ‘Deposit Refund Guarantee’, we want to provide a safety net for those committed to pursuing their dream of becoming a pilot, whether that journey starts with Leading Edge or an airline funded training programme.”
To qualify for the refund, students must provide official documentation confirming their acceptance into an airline-funded training programme. The deposit paid to LEAL will then be refunded in full.
More information about the Refund Guarantee Campaign is available from LEAL.
