Classroom learning
The big advantage of our full-time ATPL(A) classroom daytime course is its accelerated pace, getting you exam-ready quickly. For many, the theory part is a daunting obstacle, a challenging phase they dread. At the same time, it is also the least expensive part of a fully integrated airline transport pilot training programme. Our experienced professionals with a proven track record will guide you through the process, leading you to success. Simply acquiring exam knowledge is not enough to become a successful airline pilot. You also need to have a strong foundation in the basic knowledge of aviation. This knowledge is taught in the classroom, and it is essential for a successful career as an airline transport pilot.
The classroom programme is structured in weeks and daily tasks, in a way that makes it feasible to complete both modules in about six months, with four classroom days a week. This does not include the time needed to take the exams. In each module, you will be guided through various subjects and core topics through engaging lessons with instructors and computer-based training. After a varying number of chapters, there will be mandatory progress tests to ensure that you are mastering the material.
Self-reliance in a team context is a major requirement. Your success depends partly on your own effort, motivation, teamwork, and perseverance.
