ATP Flight School has launched free quarterly Airbus A320 type rating and Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training programs for eligible alumni.
The Jacksonville, Florida-based aviation academy said in an emailed news release it will randomly select alumni each quarter to receive one of these free training programs aimed at helping pilots advance their careers.
“With its Part 142 airline training center, ATP is one of the few flight schools in the nation with the capability of providing this advanced training to its alumni, and to do so at no cost,” the release stated.
Starting in March, ATP will begin randomly selecting one graduate eligible for the ATP CTP at JETS – valued at $4,295 – and one active ATP instructor eligible for the Airbus A320 type rating program – valued at $10,850.
The flight school’s ATP JETS program has over 25,000 graduates and is the largest provider of ATP CTP training in the country with facilities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and Orlando, according to the company.
“ATP is deeply committed to the success of alumni, and what many may not realize is the substantial financial investment we make to continue supporting our students long after they graduate,” said Michael Arnold, vice president of marketing at ATP Flight School, in the release. “Through the no-cost, no-fee Alumni Association, ATP has saved alumni over $750,000 dollars by covering the cost of their Flight Instructor Refresher Course through King Schools.
