F.A.Q.

1. What is the price and when do I pay?

The page lists a special price for the Online ATP-CTP and states that full payment is required before class starts; see the current pricing and terms on the page.

2. Does ATP-CTP prepare me for the ATP written exam?

The course is not designed as written-test prep. You’re encouraged to study with resources like Sheppard Air or Gleim alongside/after the course.

3. What do I receive upon completion, and how long is it valid?

You receive an FAA ATP-CTP completion certificate, which admits you to the ATP Multi-Engine written exam. The ATP-CTP certificate does not expire; the written test pass is valid 60 months.

4. Where do simulator sessions take place and on what equipment?

Simulator training is in Fort Lauderdale, FL on Airbus A320 devices (FTD and FFS A320 Level D), the same platform used for airline crews.

5. What technology do I need for class?

Install Zoom, ensure a stable internet connection, and keep your camera on for attendance. FAA inspectors may join to monitor; classes aren’t delayed for individual tech issues.

6. Do I need a U.S. visa or TSA clearance for the online part?

No for the online ground school. A U.S. visa and TSA approval are required only for the simulator sessions in the U.S.

7. When must I complete the simulator portion after online ground?

You have up to 60 days after finishing ground school to complete the 10 hours of simulator training. Sessions are often scheduled on weekends, and sim periods are conducted in pairs when possible.

8. How long is the online class and what time does it run?

The virtual ground school runs 4 days × ~8 hours/day, typically starting 10:00 AM EST. It’s designed to finish faster than the in-person 5-day format.

9. What is the ATP-CTP Online / Virtual program?

It’s the same FAA Part 141 ATP-CTP ground school delivered live via Zoom (30 hours), followed by 10 hours of in-person simulator training. You interact with instructors in real time and receive the same FAA certificate accepted for the ATP written.
