Our EASA program is designed to take you from no aviation experience (ab initio) to a qualified commercial pilot with a 'frozen' Airline Transport Pilot License (f-ATPL). Upon graduation, you will be ready to begin your new career. We provide EASA-accredited pilot training at our state-of-the-art facilities across our global network, including our European training bases. The course syllabus has been created in consultation with leading airlines and covers the rigorous technical requirements of pilot training. Trainees will also experience personal and professional growth at every stage of the process. Our modern facilities are designed to offer everything needed for great achievements and an outstanding training experience.

Students will begin their EASA pathway by completing the Fundamentals of Aviation course at their local training center, followed by earning their Private Pilot License (PPL) and undertaking the Structured Hours Building (SHB) phase. They will then transition to our accredited EASA training bases to proceed with their ATPL theory studies and complete their EASA CPL/ME-IR final training phase. The minimum training completed locally will be the foundational theoretical phase, "Fundamentals of Aviation," while students can potentially complete up to the Structured Hours Building (SHB) phase before transitioning.

This pathway enables students to complete the maximum possible portion of their training at their home base before transitioning to our specialized EASA training facilities, where they will ultimately graduate and start applying for their dream job around the world.

In the integrated pathway, students start with Fundamentals of Aviation (FA), followed by ATPL theory and Core Flying, continuing through the full set of licensing requirements mandated by the relevant civil aviation authority.
