We are committed to shaping the next generation of aviation professionals. Explore our offerings to find the perfect program that aligns with your aspirations and sets you on the path to success in the aviation industry!

EASA-ATPL Modular Program

Our EASA Modular program is crafted to guide aspiring pilots from no prior aviation experience (ab initio) to becoming qualified commercial pilots with a ‘frozen’ Airline Transport Pilot License (f-ATPL). Upon completing the program, you will be fully prepared to launch your career as a professional pilot. Training is conducted at our EASA-accredited, state-of-the-art facilities at the exceptional Larnaca International Airport base.

The course curriculum, developed in collaboration with leading airlines, meets the rigorous technical demands of pilot training while fostering both personal and professional growth at every stage. Our modern facilities are equipped with everything necessary to ensure a high-quality training experience and remarkable achievements.

Students based in Larnaca have the opportunity to complete their entire EASA pilot training journey. This begins with the Fundamentals of Aviation course, progressing to the Private Pilot License (PPL) and Structured Hours Building (SHB) phase. Following this, trainees advance to ATPL theory studies before completing the final phase of training: the EASA CPL/ME-IR.
