​Integrated
​
An integrated course is an intensive 'accelerated' course provided by one flight training organisation or approved training organisation, designed to take those with zero or minimal flying hours to obtain a frozen ATPL which then satisfies basic airline recruitment criteria. It should be noted that if you already possess a PPL, you may be eligible for a dispensation of an integrated course. The integrated training avenue is widely regarded as the 'approved' training avenue.
Duration: 16-19 Months

Average Cost: £79,000
​Multi-Crew Pilot Licence
​
A Multi-Crew Pilots Licence (MPL) course enables a student pilot to obtain an MPL from one flight training organisation/approved training organisation. At present, MPL courses are only delivered in collaboration with a partner airline. Greater emphasis is placed on multi-crew cooperation from the beginning with less 'basic' flying & more simulator time. Unlike Integrated, the MPL can somewhat limit your prosepcts once qualified. The costs are similar to Integrated.
Duration: 18-19 Months

Average Cost: Variable
