EASA Integrated ATPL course
Our EASA Integrated ATPL full-time course is designed to take you from little to no flying experience to successfully obtaining your ‘frozen ATPL’.
Train for your EASA ATPL licence
Our EASA Integrated ATPL course is designed to take you from little to no flying experience to successfully obtaining your ‘frozen ATPL’ approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
An EASA ATPL means you can fly for airlines registered in the European Union - such as TAP Air Portugal, Ryanair and easyJet on - EASA-registered aircraft.
To show our commitment to helping aspiring aviators become pilots during the current climate, we’ve launched three initiatives applicable to cadets enroling on our November 2021 EASA ATPL course:
- FREE accommodation during ground school training
- Aviation Industry Recovery (AIR) accommodation grant
- L3Harris Pilot Ready Promise

Accommodation
To show our commitment to aspiring pilots we have launched two accommodation offers for cadets that enrol in the November 2021 class.
FREE accommodation during ground school
ALL cadets that enrol in the November 2021 class will receive FREE accommodation during ground school. That’s 9 months accommodation on campus - with a value of €3,000 - for no extra cost.
Aviation Industry Recovery (AIR) accommodation grant
The first 8 aspiring pilots to enrol in the EASA Integrated ATPL November 2021 class will also receive an AIR accommodation grant - FREE accommodation throughout training both ground school and flight training.
These limited offers are based on a shared occupancy basis and are only available to cadets that enrol in the EASA Integrated ATPL programme in Ponte de Sor, Portugal.
Additional fees will apply for single occupancy.
Speak to a member of the team for full details.

Pilot Ready Promise
Enrol in our November 2021 training class and qualify for the L3Harris Pilot Ready Promise.
On successful completion of EASA Integrated ATPL training you qualify for the Pilot Ready Promise.
It’s a regulatory requirement to revalidate your Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (ME/IR) every year in order to keep your licence current and up-to-date. At L3Harris we are offering all EASA Integrated ATPL graduates FREE revalidation exams for 2 years after graduation or until employment as a pilot (either commercial or private including as a pilot flight instructor) whichever comes first.
How to qualify for the Pilot Ready Promise
All cadets that enrol and start training before 6 December 2021 will qualify for the Pilot Ready Promise.
On successful completion of EASA Integrated ATPL training cadets will be entitled to FREE ME/IR revalidation exams – Year 1 in a Diamond DA42 SIM and Year 2 in a Diamond DA42 aircraft - that’s a potential cost saving of €2,600 over 2 years and means you have one less thing to worry about until you find airline employment.
