Aviation
Flying careers begin with three unglamorous facts: a Class 1 medical certificate that some people simply cannot get, training costs that reach the price of a house, and maths and physics requirements that airlines and academies actually check. The families who navigate this well confirm the medical early, treat the maths as non-negotiable, and use cadet schemes and air training corps to test the interest before the big bill.
How old is your child?
The initial medical assessment — before any money is committed, find out if the certificate is reachable. Air cadets or gliding schemes for real airtime cheaply. Maths and physics measured and pushed.
What most families do instead.
Families commit five-figure sums before checking the medical, or discover at application that the maths requirement was real. The order of operations is the whole game here: medical, maths, cheap airtime, then money.
What the record looks like after two years on this path.

What to do this month.
- 1
Book the initial aviation medical consult before anything else.
- 2
Run the maths assessment — academies check it.
Sign up and the first conversation already knows the direction. The plan Cora builds is aimed at it from day one.
A path your child has not chosen will not survive the work. We build toward the direction you have in mind by getting your child genuinely interested in it — that is not a softer version of the goal, it is the only version that arrives.
And if they change direction at sixteen, the record survives it. Finishing things, building things, working with people — the evidence transfers.
