The 0–ATPL Programme is created for individuals with no prior aviation experience who have chosen to pursue a career as a professional pilot.

Within a period of approximately 18 to 24 months, students progress through a fully integrated training system, culminating in a “frozen” Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) — the highest level of theoretical pilot certification.

In addition, the program includes:

• Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC)
• Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (A-UPRT)

Together, these elements ensure that graduates are prepared not only to qualify, but to transition into airline environments.

The program combines over 265 hours of flight and simulator training with more than 1,000 hours of theoretical instruction, creating a comprehensive and balanced development process.

Training is delivered in clearly defined phases, beginning with fundamental flight skills and progressing toward complex, multi-engine and instrument operations. Each stage introduces new levels of responsibility, ensuring that development remains continuous and aligned with professional aviation standards.

From the earliest weeks, students are introduced to real flying — entering the cockpit within a short period and beginning to build practical experience from the outset.

Training at Aviation Career Center is conducted in conditions that reflect real aviation.

Students operate from an international airport, fly within controlled airspace, and train across multiple European countries. This exposure develops operational awareness, adaptability, and confidence — essential qualities for any professional pilot.

Instruction is delivered by experienced airline pilots and instructors, ensuring that knowledge is not theoretical, but grounded in real-world practice.

Modern glass-cockpit aircraft and advanced simulation systems further align the training environment with the expectations of today’s aviation industry.

Completion of the program results in a frozen ATPL, enabling graduates to apply for First Officer positions across the global aviation market — including passenger airlines, cargo operators, and corporate aviation.

Graduates of Aviation Career Center are already flying with airlines across Europe and beyond, reflecting the strength of preparation and relevance of training.

Success is not measured by certification alone.

It is defined by the ability to perform.

To support different financial approaches, payment options are structured with flexibility:

• Full upfront payment (with preferential conditions)
• Monthly instalment plans
• Extended payment options aligned with training progression

This ensures that financial planning remains clear and manageable throughout the program.

For students seeking an even higher level of preparation, an optional upgrade to the Premium 0–ATPL Programme is available.

This includes additional individual instructor mentoring during cross-country phases, providing deeper guidance, refinement of skills, and enhanced operational confidence.

Training is not limited to a single location.

Students gain experience flying across Slovenia and neighboring countries, including Italy, Austria, Croatia, and Hungary. This exposure to different airspace structures and operational procedures develops adaptability — a critical skill in modern aviation.

At Aviation Career Center, training is intentionally selective.

Limited student intake ensures that each individual receives focused attention, precise instruction, and continuous feedback. This approach allows for a level of quality and consistency that cannot be achieved at scale.

The objective is clear:

Not to train more pilots — but to train better ones.

Upon completion, graduates are positioned to continue directly into:

• Type Rating training (A320 / B737)
• Airline recruitment processes
• Professional aviation careers across global operators

The 0–ATPL Programme provides the essential foundation — structured, complete, and aligned with industry expectations.

Becoming a pilot is not a single milestone.

It is a progression — one that begins with the right training, in the right environment, under the right standards.
