Customer Review
Underwhelming Experience with Overpriced Services
I was thoroughly disappointed with my experience at Helicentre Aviation. Despite their boasts of being the UK's leading helicopter training academy, I found the instruction to be subpar and the equipment outdated. The cost of their courses is extortionate, especially considering the quality of training provided. I attended their Pilot Training Careers Seminar, which was more of a sales pitch than an informative session. The 'free' pilot selection day was a joke, with barely any flying time and a hard sell on their overpriced courses. The facilities at their Leicester centre were lacklustre, with worn-out furniture and limited resources. I was expecting a professional and supportive environment, but what I got was a rushed and impersonal experience. The staff seemed more interested in pushing their services than actually helping students achieve their goals. Unless they seriously revamp their training programs and facilities, I would not recommend Helicentre Aviation to anyone. The UK deserves better options for helicopter pilot training.
