International ICAO Pilot Training Program

Our ICAO Pilot Training Program is designed to guide aspiring aviators from zero flying experience (ab initio) to becoming fully qualified commercial pilots in accordance with ICAO standards. Upon completing the program, you will be absolutely equipped to pursue a professional aviation career. Training is conducted in Lebanon, with practical sessions performed at the esteemed Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport.

The program curriculum is meticulously crafted to meet the rigorous requirements of ICAO pilot training while promoting both technical proficiency and personal growth. Developed with insights from industry leaders, the syllabus ensures trainees gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed for a successful career in aviation.

Students enrolled in the program will complete their entire ICAO training pathway in Lebanon. The journey begins with the Fundamentals of Aviation course, followed by earning the ICAO approved Private Pilot License (PPL) and progressing through the Structured Hours Building (SHB) phase. Trainees then advance to advanced training stages, culminating in achieving their Commercial Pilot License (CPL) with Instrument Rating (IR) for expanded operational capabilities.

This program offers a robust and cost-effective training pathway for aspiring pilots, equipping them with the qualifications to excel in diverse aviation environments.
