Private Certificates
If you fly for fun only then you will need a Class 2 certificate. There is now the option of gettin g a private pilotes licence using without seeing a medical examiner and without going through the CAA Class 2 process. See information from CAA by clicking here .

If you intend to get an Instrument Rating then you will need an audiogram as well; otherwise this is not normally required unless you have hearing problems. Skydive Instructors also need to get a Class 2 certificate (audiogram not required)
To obtain a Class 2 certificate there are different requirements for initial (first) or renewal certificates. Please see timing o tests below that explains these.

Applying for a Medical Certificate
I encourage pilots to apply for their medical certificate on line using Skycert as this is more secure, faster, and easier for pilots. See details here. The URL is How To Get Your First Medical With SkyCert

Details re the Making an appointment
