Questions

Questions about type ratings

Who delivers the training?

Approved partner training providers, under their own approvals.

Does a type rating guarantee a job?

No. Airline selection is decided by the airline.

Can the rating be financed?

Students from India can get loan-application help from Pilots Sky Lend, which covers type ratings as well as CPL training and ground classes; elsewhere we offer loan guidance.

Should I choose the cheapest course?

Compare approval, simulator access, instructor quality, continuity, exclusions and post-course documentation before comparing totals.

Is there a fee to talk to you?

No. The first counselling call to check eligibility and map your route costs nothing, and there is no deposit to talk to us.
