EASA Ab Initio ATPL Programs

Ab Initio 0 – ATPL training is performed for students with no previous pilot experiences, that want to become professional Airline pilots.

In 18-24 months you receive EASA ATPL ‘Frozen’ Licence. This licence enables you to apply directly for a position of a First Officer in any airline in Europe and almost any airline in the World.

,About

The Ab Initio 0 – ATPL course contains a total of 240 hours of practical training and over 750 hours of theoretical training. Training duration of the training is 18 – 24 months. However, we make sure the Students fly as much as possible, so the training can realistically be done even sooner.

At the end of the training you obtain EASA Frozen ATPL licence, which will allow you to fly in the right seat of a cockpit, and you can apply for a job in any of the airlines globally. Our graduates that have successfully completed the training with our team, found a job within a 6-months after their graduation and are currently employed in different countries around the world.

The training is performed by airline experienced instructors, on an International Airport (Maribor, Slovenia-EU). We are using brand new Garmin equipped fleet or airplanes and simulator. This combination represents a great combination for getting in-depth pilot training experiences and skills for your future airline pilot career. Our approach to training lets you start flying already 1-month after training start, because we put the students into the cockpit as soon as possible, to start with flying experiences and gain pilot skill already at an early stage of training.
