The programme demonstrates L3Harris’ continued commitment to training future pilots in these challenging times where greater flexibility is important. Modular training offers future pilots the opportunity to train at their own pace and pay as they train.

ATPL Modular consists of PPL training, hours building, Theoretical Knowledge, CPL MEIR and MCC - all the skills needed to become a commercial airline pilot. The Modules are designed to be stand-alone training courses giving the option to take breaks between Modules.
