Duration

10 to 12 months

Entry requirements

Check with the school for required licences, flight hours, medical certificate, language and admission requirements.

Extra costs & checks

Theory course only — not a flight licence or a complete commercial qualification. DGAC examination fees (about €970) are excluded; free for job seekers in France. Confirm session dates and entry conditions with the school.

ATPL pathway does not mean a full ATP/ATPL is issued at graduation. Confirm the actual licences and ratings awarded, theory credit, and remaining experience requirements with the school and aviation authority.

Review note: Theory-only listing, priced and labelled so it is not mistaken for a full licence.

Training & inclusions

Two-year EASA integrated ATP(A) ab initio course taught entirely in English: 14 ATPL theory certificates, CPL(A), MEP and IRME ratings, MCC and APS-MCC on an A320 FNPT II, UPRT and an ICAO aeronautical English certificate, with about 220 hours of flight and simulator time including roughly 50 hours on twin-engine aircraft.

Duration

2 years full-time

Entry requirements

School selection: dossier review plus individual interview and English assessment (tests €70). Entry requirements such as age, education and medical fitness should be confirmed directly with the school.

Extra costs & checks

Not included: CPL/IRME flight tests (about €2,900 depending on real flight time), DGAC tests and registrations (€1,910), Class 1 medical (from €460) and living costs. Valid PPL holders receive a €6,500 reduction. Installment schedule spread over the two years; intakes in January, May and September.

ATPL pathway does not mean a full ATP/ATPL is issued at graduation. Confirm the actual licences and ratings awarded, theory credit, and remaining experience requirements with the school and aviation authority.

Review note: Fee and inclusions read from the official 2026 integrated ATP brochure; the integrated route ends with a frozen ATPL pathway, not an issued ATPL.
