Pre Type Rating Course

Moving from training aircraft to a commercial jet cockpit is one of the biggest leaps in your pilot career. A Type Rating on aircraft like the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 is mandatory, but many CPL holders struggle when they face the intense technical, procedural, and simulator demands of Type Rating programs.

That’s where our Pre Type Rating Course comes in.

It’s designed to give you a solid foundation—so when you start your actual Type Rating, you’re not overwhelmed. Instead, you’ll walk in confident, prepared, and already familiar with jet operations.
