We are proud to announce that our graduate, Pablo Ruiz Acevedo (Course 231), has won the Best Integrated Student award at the Pilot Careers Live Professional Flight Training Awards 2025.

Although Pablo could not attend the ceremony, in London, he was officially presented with the award during Pilot Careers Live Spain, in Madrid.

Pablo is a truly deserving award winner. In 2024, he became the only student to receive both the Vic Swanepoel Award for Best Student in Ground School, with an outstanding 98% score, and the Derek Smith Award for Best Overall Pilot.

As the judges said: “Pablo’s great performance on his integrated course included winning two high-achiever awards, for best in ground school and best overall pilot. Pablo has fully embraced excellence and the importance of the wider team in aviation.”

Pablo shares: “Thank you to Pilot Careers Live for the recognition. This achievement is the result of years of dedication and hard work, supported by the outstanding instruction at FTEJerez, their top-notch instructors, and an inspiring campus environment. I’m also deeply grateful for the unconditional support of my family and friends throughout this journey.”

Congratulations, Pablo!
