The Met Office College offers a selection of courses covering all aspects of aviation meteorology for the general aviation community.
We help delegates prepare for the meteorological elements of the PPL, PPL(B) , CPL(B) and BGA Bronze 'C' badge and blend theoretical meteorological knowledge with practical exercises.
