The British royal was named the top co-pilot gunner on the course, taking home the prize following a dinner at Wattisham Air Station.
"The course is extremely challenging, teaching and testing students in their flying skills, decision-making and mental agility," Apache Force Commander Colonel Neale Moss told the Daily Mail.
The 27-year-old has been placed in 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps with a 'Limited Combat Ready' status.
Prince Harry recently signed on to climb Mount Everest as a part of the charity group Walking With The Wounded.
He previously joined the group for a trek to the North Pole.
