OAA is one of three Flight Training Organisations selected to participate in the British Airways Self-Sponsored Pilot (SSP) scheme.  This scheme is only available to graduates from an Integrated course of training.  Under the scheme, all OAA’s APP FIRST OFFICER students are considered for potential employment by BA even before they complete their APP FIRST OFFICER course.  Since 2005 54% of SSPs (46 new First Officers) employed by BA came from OAA.

BA’s standards are naturally high, and only those with a first-class training performance are likely to be selected. But, for those who qualify, the security of knowing they will enter productive employment with one of the world’s leading airlines immediately upon graduating from Oxford is a major opportunity associated with APP FIRST OFFICER.
