What specific flight hours and certificates do I need before enrolling in CAE's ATP-CTP program?

CAE’s ATP-CTP program prerequisites stipulate that trainees must meet the minimum eligibility requirements of Part 61.153(b) and (d).

What type of aircraft simulators does CAE use for the ATP-CTP program, and how do they prepare me for specific airline equipment?

CAE uses both airliner and corporate jet simulators for the ATP CTP course, including the CRJ, B737, A320, Global Express, and others. These have similar flight deck layouts and equipment that familiarize you with concepts applicable to air carrier operations.

Can I choose my preferred training location, and are there differences in scheduling availability between CAE's four centers?

Yes. Indicate your preferred location on the form. If dates are more important, our scheduling team can help find an offering that fits your schedule across centers.

How does CAE support students who may struggle with specific aspects of the ground school or simulator training?

The course is taught by pilots with transport category experience. Class time allows extra instruction on challenging topics, and simulator training exposes students to normal and non-normal operations; time permitting, students may repeat maneuvers.

What documentation and certificates will I receive upon successful completion of CAE's ATP-CTP program?

You will receive a certificate of completion that you must present to a certified testing center in order to take the ATP Written exam.

How far in advance should I book my ATP-CTP course, and what happens if a class is full?

Centers typically offer classes up to 3 months in advance. Our scheduling team will help you find a location and date that meets your needs.

What should I bring to the ATP-CTP course, and how should I prepare before arriving at the training center?

Bring your pilot’s license, medical certificate, passport, and payment on the first day. Business-casual attire is typical; closed-toe, low-rise footwear is recommended for simulator sessions.

What is the difference between ATP CTP and an ATP Written Test Prep course?

ATP CTP introduces key airline operations topics and provides the certificate required to take the ATP Knowledge Written Exam. It is not designed to prepare you for the written exam; separate test-prep courses exist for that.

Will I leave the ATP CTP course with my ATP License?

No. ATP CTP is a required step toward the ATP license, but the course alone does not grant licensure.

Hear from pilots who advanced their careers with CAE's ATP-CTP training.

" I'd recommend CAE ATP-CTP for anyone looking to take that next step in their career. I feel it's really going to help me launch my professional aviation journey off on the right foot. I got great support from everyone here at CAE, from initially getting scheduled into the front desk, getting checked in, into all the admins, all the instructors, both in the SIM and ground. Everyone was very knowledgeable. Everyone was very helpful. Everyone was very welcoming through the whole process."
