Advanced Entry Path for PPL Pilots: ATPL Theory Full Immersion 2027

The direct transition from PPL (A) to ATPL Theory with a full immersion training approach

For all students already holding a PPL (A) licence, the Advanced Entry Path (post-PPL) is enhanced with an important addition: the integration of a new ATPL Theory course.

This is not a separate program, but the same ATPL Modular “Full Immersion” course already active within our training structure. Starting from January 2027, a new additional intake will be introduced, running alongside the existing sessions that begin in May and November.

One course, one standard

The ATPL Theory course is exactly the same as the one delivered within our Full Immersion programs, with no differences in structure, quality, or content.

It includes a comprehensive 650-hour classroom training program, designed to ensure solid, continuous, and high-performance preparation.

Lessons are held:

• Monday to Saturday
• From 08:00 to 13:00 (most frequently) or from 13:00 to 18:00
• Over a total duration of approximately 6 months

A structured and intensive commitment, designed to maintain high levels of focus and ensure true immersion in ATPL subjects.

An exclusive training environment

We are among the few ATOs offering a 100% in-person course, allowing students to engage daily with a carefully selected team of industry professionals.

Instructors come from the Air Force, airlines, General Aviation, and aerospace engineering, ensuring the highest quality standards.

Classroom presence enhances the learning experience by encouraging continuous interaction, knowledge exchange, and a more dynamic and effective environment.

Each class will include a maximum of 15 students, selected based on their previous training path and PPL (A) licence.

Selection process

Access to the course is limited and subject to a structured selection process, aimed at ensuring a consistent and high-level class profile.

The selection includes:

• Assessment of theoretical and operational knowledge (PPL level), focusing on Principles of Flight, Air Law, Meteorology, and operational reasoning
• A short mathematics test to evaluate logical and numerical skills
• A final interview to assess mindset, motivation, and suitability for the professional training path

All selection phases will be conducted in English and will take place during June and September. Further details will be provided to candidates.

Theory and flight: a combined path

One of the key strengths of our training approach is the direct integration between theoretical instruction and flight activity.

During the ATPL Theory course, students will continue flying in parallel through:

• Hour Building
• Additional ratings: VP, RU, EFIS, SLPC

After completing ATPL exams, students will progress to advanced flight training:

• IR
• ME-IR
• CPL
• UPRT

Until achieving the EASA CPL (A) licence with “Frozen” ATPL.

From PPL to professional pilot

For those who already hold a PPL licence, this represents one of the most important steps in the entire training journey.

The introduction of this additional intake aims to provide greater flexibility while maintaining the same standards, methodology, and quality.

Applications

Places are limited.
