Program description
This program is designed for students aiming for a career as a commercial pilot and who want to get there faster without doing the ATPL written exams. Today, a growing number of global airlines, such as Air Canada, asked for highly trained candidates among their ranks.
Graduates of this program obtain an Attestation of College Studies (ACS) and receive the PPL and CPL licenses as well as the Transport Canada night, multi-engine, and instrument ratings. In addition, students are trained to work as part of a crew to better meet the global market demands.
