Additional Admission Requirements

Students can apply for non-type rated first officer or cadet positions with airlines in Europe or other countries that accept EASA certificates immediately after completing their training. The program does not provide type rating, but the last stage of training includes APS MCC training conducted in an Airbus A320 environment. Type rating is typically part of the admission procedure at airlines, depending on the aircraft types used.

When applying to the program, students need to submit a general medical check by a local doctor. After being accepted and enrolled, they must obtain a Class 1 Medical Certificate (EASA Part-MED 1178/2011 EU regulation) at their own expense by the end of the first semester (January 31st). Failure to pass the medical check will result in automatic dismissal from the university, and any scholarship will be cancelled. Students must also revalidate and renew the certificate at their own expense during their studies.
