PROFESSIONAL  COURSES

These programmes are designed to meet the requirements for a Flight Crew position with a European Airline. Upon graduation, you will be qualified with at least an EASA commercial pilot’s license, ATPL theory and some additional FAA qualifications depending on which course you choose.

 

The two options below list exactly which licences and ratings you will obtain and indicates the cost and number of hours flown for each section based on syllabus minimums.

 

Our EASA Fast Track Programme is highly recommended and is by far European Flight Training’s most popular course. It includes the EASA and FAA Private Pilot training, ATPL ground school, hours building required for commercial pilot license issue, the FAA instrument rating and finally the EASA Commercial Pilots License and multi-engine rating.

 

It can be completed in as little as ten months and offers flexibility during training by allowing students who already hold an EASA PPL to join the program and receive a discount. This then reduces the time taken to get qualified by up to eight weeks.

 

Prices are based on staying in our accommodation for the course duration. For more information view: accommodation.

 

 

Please bear in mind the courses tend to fill around 4 months in advance – so plan ahead!.
