Integrated ATPL overview
Pathways to major airlines
On our Integrated ATPL programme, you begin your pathway to a career as a pilot with British Airways, easyJet, Wizz Air UK and more, with just a £3,000 deposit*.
The Integrated ATPL course takes you from little or no flying experience to a fully qualified airline pilot in around 70 weeks and airlines make regular campus visits during that time. Training takes place across our state-of-the-art London Training Centre, Florida and Cranfield flight school locations.

Data-driven training
Along with our £3,000 deposit* and multiple airline career pathways, what else makes us stand out? We use Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) as part of your Integrated ATPL flight training.
Using FDM creates a safer, more efficient training environment. You and your Instructor get detailed feedback on all training flights. So, what does it mean for you, the cadet pilot?
- Airlines (your future employer!) use similar technology: Data is key to an airline’s operation and we are committed to recreating that, or a similar environment in your ATPL training journey
- Efficiency: We recognise that each cadet is different. Throughout your ATPL flight training you receive insight that can highlight areas of excellence and potential improvement, a shift towards competency-based training
