Depending on the available budget the theoretical part can be done either in Europe or in the home country through distance learning. The theoretical training is done through Bristol GS approved interactive-video training, slide presentations, progress tests and sample exams.
After about 6 months the practical training will start and will take another 10 months of 225 hours training. Single and multi piston airplanes training and FNPT II simulator training with Multi Crew Cooperation (MCC) is part of the practical training. MCC is a requirements to be able to fly for European airlines. After the training the student pilot will have done 75 hours of Pilot in Command (PIC) and have completed visual and instrument flight rules. The course ends with the Jet Orientation Course (JOC). The JOC is beneficial for those who are looking for a job with an international airliner.
