THE FAA’S Highest Certificate
Get Your ATP With Our ATP-CTP Certification Training Program
If you’re already a pilot but want to fly passenger or cargo aircraft—or convert your foreign license—you’ll need to complete an ATP Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP). The Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP) prepares pilots to take the ATP certificate knowledge exam.
At Alliance Aviation in Miami, Florida, the ATP-CTP is provided by our parent company, Pan Am Flight Academy. This seven-day program is designed to prepare you for the ATP written exam, which is included in the cost of the course. The ATP-CTP course meets all FAA training requirements, making you eligible to sit for the final certification exam.
Upon successful completion of the ATP-CTP course and passing the ATP knowledge exam, you will be eligible to obtain your ATP certificate with the appropriate airplane category and class rating. You may also pursue a type rating to further enhance your qualifications. The ATP certificate is the highest level of certification issued by the FAA and allows you to serve as Pilot in Command (PIC) of an aircraft carrying passengers or cargo for compensation or hire.
ATP-certified pilots represent a small percentage of the global pilot population, reflecting the high level of training, skill, and experience required. Reach out today to enroll in one of our upcoming airline pilot training programs.
The ATP-CTP is a prerequisite for the ATP Certificate and has a final exam, but should not be considered a preparation course for the FAA ATP Knowledge Test.

Qualify for the Exam
All pilots seeking to obtain an ATP with multi-engine privilege certification must go through an FAA-approved ATP-CTP Certification flight training program like we offer here at Alliance Training. Upon successful completion of the ATP-CTP, you are eligible to take the written exam. The FAA has strict regulations about when you can qualify to take the exam that include:
- Age restrictions (must be 21 years of age or older)
- Pre-requisites (must hold a commercial pilot's license with an instrument rating)
- You must have the necessary flight hours logged (1,500 total flight hours including 500 hours of cross-country flying and 100 night flying hours)

Pass the Test
Our instructors—provided by our parent company, Pan Am Flight Academy—will guide you through the ATP-CTP curriculum in detail and provide valuable insight into what to expect on the final exam. The written test covers key areas such as aerodynamics, automation, weather operations, airline procedures, leadership, stall prevention and recovery, high-altitude operations, crosswind takeoffs and landings, and more.
While the exam may seem challenging, with the right preparation and structured ATP-CTP training, you’ll be ready for it. Our instructors bring real-world experience from major airlines and understand exactly what it takes to pass the ATP exam and build a successful airline career. Throughout your training, we cover everything you need to feel confident and prepared for the written examination.
Ask questions, stay engaged, and take full advantage of the experience—at Alliance Aviation, our goal is to set you up for success every step of the way.
Ready to Become a Commercial Airline Pilot?
Fly Commercial Planes
Once certified, you’ll have the ability to become an airline pilot and fly commercial planes, including passenger planes with nine or more seats, as well as cargo planes. These planes include some of the largest in the world, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. ATP certification is required by U.S. law for all pilots seeking to fly these types of planes. For those looking for a stable career as an airline pilot, flying commercially is a great option due to the high demand for pilots and the great salary and benefits that come with the job.
Having your ATP-CTP certification can make you a very hirable candidate. Additionally, many ATP pilots have spotless safety records — airlines view this commitment to quality as a major attribute and will hire ATP-certified pilots accordingly. Through 30 hours of ground school, 10 hours of flight simulation, and more, our pilot training program will get you ready to fly commercially.
“I enjoyed every bit of my training at Alliance Aviation and highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking to undergo their type rating. Let me thank Federico, Denia and the rest of their staff for the lovely training.”
