Private Pilot License (PPL)
The PPL is the first step towards becoming a licensed pilot. This course is designed for individuals who have little or no flying experience. The PPL course comprises ground school training and flight training. The ground school training covers subjects such as air law, meteorology, navigation, and general aircraft knowledge. Flight training involves practical training in flying the aircraft.
Commercial Pilot License (CPL)
The CPL course is designed for individuals who wish to make a career out of flying. The CPL course builds on the skills learned in the PPL course and includes additional training in advanced navigation techniques, night flying, and instrument flying. The CPL course also includes multi-engine training, which prepares pilots to fly larger and more complex aircraft.
Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL)
The ATPL course is the highest level of pilot training and is required for pilots who wish to work for commercial airlines. The ATPL course covers advanced aviation theory and practical training in flying larger aircraft. The course includes type rating, which provides pilots with the opportunity to train for a specific aircraft, such as the Airbus or Boeing 757.
Flight Instructor Rating (FIR)
FIR courses are designed for pilots who wish to become flight instructors. The FIR course includes both ground school and flight training. The course covers the principles of flight instruction, aviation psychology, and teaching techniques. Flight training involves practical training in teaching students how to fly.
