COURSE SUMMARY
The Programme can be summarised as follows:
- Pre-entry Assessment
- Funding Advice
- Payment: the full course cost is not required to be paid up front
- Course spread over 56 weeks
- You will be training at Cranfield University Airport and experience a true University Campus atmosphere - conducive to an excellent learning environment.
- Ground School spread over four more easily manageable phases. Some FTOs structure it over two phases which can be quite stressful. The pass rates are very high.
- We use attractive fair weather bases in either Spain or Florida. You can thus choose between a European or USA Option.
- All commercial licence flight training is conducted in busy UK airspace. Some FTOs train in obscure locations where the airspace is nothing like the environment you will eventually be working in.
- We have one of the most advanced modern glass cockpit fleets in the industry with 15 Diamond Stars, and 5 Twin Stars. See a video here. We also have DA42 Diamond Twin Star Simulators to match our aircraft.
- Our IR test results are outstanding.
- The course includes a Jet Orientation Course in a Citation Jet Simulator.
- A two-day Airline Preparation Course gives an invaluable insight into the airline recruiting process.

Loss of Training Insurance
CCAT recommend that any student following the integrated course, should take out this policy. If for any medical reason the student is not able to complete training, the insurance will pay for the entire cost of training and expenses.
Proposals are made on an individual basis, but premiums are usually around £150 for the 62 week course.
Once a Commercial Licence has been issued, 'Loss of Training Insurance' can be changed to 'Loss of Licence Insurance', which again covers any medical condition that would result in the removal of Class 1 medcial status, and therefore loss of the Commerical Licence.
Note that once employment has been gained, the airline will take over the cost of this insurance.
Details of this insurance are sent out as part of the course registratrion process. be sure to ask for details earlier if you are interested.
