Our Integrated Flight Deck Programme includes a number of additional features to offer the most advanced pilot training programme the industry has to offer. As a provider of elite professional training for professional pilots, the following can be expected as standard:
An initial £10,000 is required to secure your place and then the balance of your fees are paid over 18 months in equal instalments.
To maximise employment opportunities, students enrolled on our Flight Deck Programme this year will have the opportunity to secure both a UK CAA Licence and EASA Licence at no additional cost. To ensure this is possible, the student will need to have both a CAA and EASA Class One Medical (ideally issued on behalf of the IAA or Austro Control). The student will need to complete two sets of ATPL exams, as well as an additional IR skill test (all costs included on the Flight Deck Programme). More information on deciding between EASA and CAA (or both) approved training, can be found here >>.
*Includes 1st attempts at all ground and flight exams for both EASA and UK tests. Training is as per the course syllabus and an additional training is charged at our standard rates.

FTA Global is introducing a new ‘Flight Line First’ option to its Integrated Flight Deck Programme, allowing cadets more control over the order of training. Normally students complete 3 weeks of Foundation Training followed by 9 months of ATPL ground school before joining the flight line. With the new Flying First option, the cadet would complete the three weeks of Foundation Training and then move directly to the flight line for three months before starting their 9 months of ATPL Ground School. The cadets would then return to the flight line after completing ATPL Theory Ground School.
The ‘Flight Line First’ option is in response to some integrated graduates who felt they would have benefited from some flight experience before their ATPL theory training. This allows students without the benefit of previous flight training, to get some context around some of the big ATPL subjects, including Air Law, Instruments, Meteorology, Performance, Mass and Balance and Principles of Flight. Three months of flight line training will bring the student to a natural pausing point to go into the classroom.
Phil Jones, Head of Training at FTA says:
“After receiving feedback from our graduates, we felt we could offer integrated students some flying experience before sitting ATPL Ground School. Different people have different learning styles, and to be able to offer a ‘flying first’ option can give some ‘hands on’ context to some of the ATPL theory syllabus. Not everyone will want to do flying first so we feel it is important to offer the option and we believe this option is unique in the UK for an integrated course”.
We are conscious that this is one of the biggest decisions you will make and it's important to us that you know that when you enrol, you know where and when your training will take place. But also, that the greatest care has given to ensure that you receive the best training.
We have delivered commercial pilot training for almost over 16 years and during this time have continually looked for opportunities to develop and improve what we do. This is why we have launched this new, all encompassing course and why all our training is now conducted in the UK.
Here is what we believe is important:
High teaching standards
A first-time pass looks good on your CV and saves money in potential retakes. We do everything we can to help you pass the first time.
Respect for the profession
We know the importance of ensuring you're airline ready. Our courses and partners in delivering flight instruction support our goal to make you the best pilot you can be.
Invest in what matters
We have state-of-the-art aircraft, modern simulators and the best training staff in the industry.
Everyone is different
Not everyone learns at the same pace. We vary our teaching methods to get the very best from every student.
Open to all
We believe we all have what it takes, it is just about the right support, opportunity and school.
To be eligible to enrol, we need you to possess the following:
We do not require our students to complete a pre-entry assessment.
Our enrolments are modest and we have staggered start dates to ensure our optimised operational efficiency.
It is inevitable that you will still have questions. Please feel free to contact us for further details, or an admission pack.
Tours are completed in small groups on Thursdays at 10 am to ensure you can get the most out of your visit.
The welfare of our students, staff and visitors is of paramount importance to us. We observe Government guidelines and ensure social distance rules are followed as applicable.
