The course to become an airline pilot
The ATPL Frozen Licence
It is the first step to entering a cockpit and becoming an airline pilot.
Our ATPL course has a limited number of places, so it is possible to enroll after passing an entry test.
The goal of the test is to identify the group of students who will be guaranteed a top-notch course of study and make sure that all students have access to the school’s resources (planes, classrooms, PCs…) without overcrowding so that they can finish their training on time.
The entry test
Our courses maintain a high standard of training by limiting the number of admissions: it is possible to enroll after passing an entry test.
How is the test structured?
- The entry test is held at our academy headquarters and consists of about 50 multiple-choice questions that will cover basics in logic, mathematics, geometry, physics and general culture.
- The maximum duration for holding is 2 hours.
- The result will be personally communicated to each candidate about 1 week after the test is taken.
- Based on the score achieved you will receive a one-year eligibility to enroll in our course and begin training at our school.
