Our
syllabus is based on standard Airbus SOP's (Standard Operating
Procedures). The CBT we use is Cpat and very user friendly.
It is supplied on a Flash Drive (USB) so you do not need internet
access to study, it is yours to keep after the course.
During
the Ground School which has a 14 working day footprint you
will have a fully qualified Airbus TRI/TRE on hand to lead
you through the syllabus.

System) and Fixed Base Training. This will be instructor led
and utilize our dedicated training devices on site.

will then be issued.

place. We can secure up to 300 Hours with several operators.
