Flymates was not only school for me but it was my home and the whole team was my family. Flymates team has helped me to develop myself in many ways. I am proud to be a former Flymates student. - Words cannot express my sincere gratitude and feelings towards Flymates. In such a short time, Flymates became my family. The friendly yet professional environment has enriched my knowledge in Aviation and also in my personal development. Along with Quality learning, Flymates helped me develop many other skills and enabled me to live my dream, unleash my passion for Aviation & aim for excellence Had one of the Best time in my life. Long live Flymates! Actually after so many years of studying it s the first time I met teachers of Flymates who did not just teach the modules but they taught how to learn our lessons. I was so glad to be in such a learning environment who equalized academic and non-academic part of education so that today together with a qualification in hand I have become a professional person. It s the first training institution I came across who did not stop helping their students even after ending the course. Flymates became also a reason for me to enter in the working world. So much to say! Last but not least, I would say Flymates believes in Quality of education rather than Quantity of education. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me to start my career. 3 cheers to Flymates! - -
