Career

The ATPL(A) theory course is one of the important and essential milestones in the career of an airline pilot. If you aspire to become an airline pilot, you must complete the course and successfully pass the theory exams at the Civil Aviation Authority. In the course, you will gain the necessary theoretical knowledge for obtaining the Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and the Instrument Rating (IR) qualification. Both qualifications are necessary to apply for a position as a first officer with an airline. After gaining the required experience as a pilot in commercial aviation, you can apply for the Airline Transport Pilot License ATPL(A). The Airline Transport Pilot License authorizes the holder to fly as a first officer or captain on commercial airliners in commercial air transport. You can fly privately or for financial profit and may carry passengers on board. With this license, you are a true professional airline pilot.


Graduates of the ATPL(A) Theoretical Training Course will receive a certificate of completion of the ATPL(A) Theory Course and can subsequently apply for the ATPL(A) theory exam at the Civil Aviation Authority in any EU member state. The validity of the certificate of successful completion of the ATPL(A) Theory Course is 1 year from the date of issue.
