INTEGRATED ATPL
PROGRAMMES
WHY CHOOSE INTEGRATED ATPL?
From Zero Experience to Commercial Airline Pilot
An Integrated ATPL programme is the fastest and most structured route to becoming a professional airline pilot. Designed specifically for individuals with little or no previous flying experience, the programme combines theoretical knowledge, flight training, instrument flying, multi-engine operations, and commercial pilot training into a single, continuous pathway. Students benefit from a clearly defined training schedule, consistent instructional standards, and a learning environment that reflects modern airline operations. By following an integrated training route, aspiring pilots can develop their skills progressively while maintaining momentum throughout their training, ultimately graduating with the qualifications and competencies required to pursue a career with airlines in Europe and around the world.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
- Minimum 18 years old
- Secondary School Education
- Proficiency in English
- Class 1 Medical
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
In order to be liggible to enroll in our integrated ATPL programmes you will need to obtain the following:
- EASA Class 1 Medical
- Pre-Entry ICAO English Proficiency Certification
Cadets will complete a theoretical foundation course that covers all Private Pilot License subjects, establishing a baseline before completign their Maths and Physics asssessment prior to the commencement of the ATPL ground School.
Months 1-2
The cadet will complete a theoretical foundation course that covers all major subjects, establishing a strong understanding of the principles of flying prior to beginning any flight training.
Months 3-10
The cadet will begin Flight Training alongside the training of the 13 ATPL subjects, integrating both flight and theoretical instruction into a single phase. After completing the theoretical training for each subject, students will take their respective exams. By the end of this phase, students should have successfully finished all theoretical exams and accumulated approximately 97 hours of flight training.
Months 11-14
The cadet will complete an advanced flight training program that includes Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) as well as instrument-only flying on advanced multi-engine simulators and aircraft. Upon finishing the flight training, Cadets will undertake their skill tests to obtain their Commercial Pilot License with Instrument Rating on a Multi-Engine Piston Aeroplane.
Months 3-10
Cadet shall fly under VFR our Single Engine Piston Pipistrel Explorer for a total of 92 Hours.
Months 10
Cadet shall fly during night our Single Engine Piston Pipistrel Explorer for a total of 5 Hours.
Months 11-12
The Cadet shall conduct Upset Privention Training – UPRT for a total of 3 Hours and then start flight training unfer IFR – Instrument Flight Rules for a total of 40 Hours.
Months 12-13
The Cadet shll continue with his IFR training on our FNPTII simulator for a total of 40 Hours.
Months 13-14
The cadet shall train under IFR for his Multi Engine Training for a total of 20 Hours. Once completed the cadet shall finish his ATPL integrated course with his MCC – Multi Crew Cooperation Training for a total of 15 Hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Integrated ATPL ?
An Integrated ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot Licence) is a structured full-time pilot training programme designed to take a cadet from no flying experience to a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) with ATPL theoretical knowledge, preparing them for employment with airlines.
Unlike modular training programme, where cadets start from PPL and the proceed all the way to CPL, IR and MEP, an Integrated ATPL follows a single approved training programme delivered by an Approved Training Organisation (ATO).
Who should choose integrated ATPL?
The Integrated ATPL programme is designed as a full-time course and is best suited to aspiring pilots who can commit their time entirely to training. Similar to a university programme, students follow a structured syllabus from start to finish. A major benefit of the Integrated route is that cadets are required to complete 13 ATPL theoretical examinations, whereas the Modular ATPL pathway requires 22 separate examinations, making the Integrated programme a more efficient and focused route to obtaining a commercial pilot licence.
How long does an Integrated ATPL take?
Most Integrated ATPL programmes take between 18 and 24 months to complete, depending on the training provider, weather conditions, and student progress. However we find out of experience that Cadets struggle to combine the ground and flight training program and end up completing first the ground school phase and then progressing to the flight training phase.
Which is better Modular or Integrated ATPL?
The answer is that both paths have their advantages but you can end up with the exact same qualifications. Modular is designed for flexibility while Integrated for efficiency.
