Course structure

This programme is designed for candidates who already hold a Private Pilot Licence (PPL). It provides advanced training that covers both in-depth theoretical instruction and VFR/IFR flight missions, giving you the complete preparation needed to successfully pass the CPL exams. The practical phase is carried out on modern, certified aircraft under the guidance of experienced flight instructors, all with solid backgrounds in civil aviation. The CPL is a crucial milestone: it’s the licence that allows you to fly as a professional pilot and get paid for your flying activities.

The overall duration of the course depends on student availability.
