CESDA's own research is based on the following: testimonies from graduate students and social media.

These numbers are excellent. And our hard work is focused on improving them, reducing the average time it takes to find the first job, and helping find the best contracts for our pilots.

The university education that we offer at CESDA is the best guarantee to be able to have a fulfilling career as a commercial pilot for many reasons:

• The training through a university degree provides the highest level of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and values to be a commercial pilot.

• This fact is really valued by airlines during the interview process.
• Once you're in an airline, progress can be whichever you decide. You can keep studying with master's or postgraduate programs, and you can also access positions of more responsibility in management tasks if you wish.
• You have more options to work at an airline
• If you lose your license, for whatever reason, you always have a degree that allows you to develop yourself in other areas.
• During sector crisis, or big changes, that sometimes arrive like with covid, university education allows you to adapt better.For these reasons, CESDA has a collaboration deal with Vueling that facilitates job placements for our graduates.

For these reasons, CESDA has a collaboration deal with VUELING that facilitates job placements for our graduates.

In recent years, VUELING, Eurowings, and VOLOTEA carried out selection processes at the center's facilities, and it was a great success for all parties: the airline, the graduates, and CESDA.

All studies forecasting the growth of the air transport sector indicate that it is going to double in the next 20 years. During this period, 500,000 new pilots will have to be employed worldwide.

The Professional Insertion (PI) department aims to provide support for CESDA graduates in their insertion phase into the professional world.

This department is responsible for conducting market research, establishing relationships with the different agents of the aviation sector such as administrations, companies, airlines, professionals, etc., as well as maintaining constant communication and close contact with the community of pilots graduated from CESDA.

In this sense, the PI department coordinates the professional group 'CESDA Alumni,' made up of graduates in commercial pilots from the center where information is exchanged and professional experiences are shared.
