Got over 1500 hours logged as a Commercial pilot, and you are ready to run with the big dogs? Then this ATP upgrade will suit you well!
All you need to know about the program goals, and why this program is right for you.
The Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), or in the United States of America, an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP) is the highest level of aircraft pilot rating or license. Those certified as Airline Transport Pilots are authorized by the federal law to act as pilot-in-command of a scheduled air carrier's aircraft (an airliner) having a maximum gross weight over 12,500 pounds or having over 9 passenger seats if they do not have a type rating. ATP may be used as a name suffix (for example "Brian A. Jones, ATP") and ATP holders may use "Captain" before their names (for example, "Capt. Brian A. Jones"). ATP is your only ticket to becoming a commander of a passenger category aircraft.
Attention! this is a modular course only. It is designated for pilots who hold FAA or ICAO CPL and have over 1500 hours flight time logged. If you are looking for an fully-integrated program from Zero to ATPL, please visit this link: Full Professional Airline Pilot Program - FPAP1

The FAA regulations do not specify minimum required classroom time for candidates who want to obtain this certification. So, it is up to a flight training facility and a student's personal flight instructor to determine the required study hours. The break-down is as following:
 |
7 hours of complex aircraft training (Piper 44), of which | |||

|
2 hours FAA check-ride | |||
The FAA regulations have certain minimum aeronautical experience requirements that are based on the flight time that an average person with good pilot abilities requires to become proficient in execution of CPL maneuvers necessary to obtain your private pilot license. Our course is based on these requirements and will, as a minimum, include:
|
50 hours of ATPL classroom and self-guided theoretical studies |
Summary of the flight training licenses that the students will get
Students will receive the following flight crew licenses during this program:

Summary of the academic courses that the students will take
The Academic segment of the theoretical training is an important factor for those students who are planning on advancing their education to an Associate or a Bachelor's level.
Each pilot license and rating earned by our students carries the following academic course equivalent:
| FAA license course name | University academic credits |
|---|---|
| Airline Transport Pilot Ground | 6 |
| Airline Transport Pilot Ground Airplane Flight | 3 |
| TOTAL | 9 |
More information about pilot licenses/ratings conversion into academic credits may be found on TESU website here >>>
The listed above academic courses and their respective credit hour ratings may be converted into any college or university accreditation scale using the standard European Academic Credit Transfer System.
Please note: all academic credits are approximate and subject to admissions board review and evaluation by the target college or university. Normally, the level of education and practicum upon completion of the training and internship phases equals to Associate Degree in Aeronautical science. Hence, most pilots are able to obtain a full Bachelor's Degree in just 2 years after transferring the academic credits.
