Course Contents

PPL
The PPL is the initial start to your career in Aviation. This allows you to do private flights, and to train further for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in order to work commercially as a pilot. Extensive training is done on full time basis.
Instrument Rating (IR)
An Instrument Rating (IR) is the Rating that will allow you to fly in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). These are conditions of poor visibility, low cloud base and generally adverse weather. The Rating qualifies you to fly an Aircraft relying solely on its Flight Instruments.

Based on ICAO (international civil aviation Organization) in the next 20 years airlines have to add 25,000 new aircraft to the current 17,000 strong commercial fleet. By 2026 the industry will need 4,80,000 new technicians to maintain these aircraft. Clearly the international market has a huge shortage of Aircraft Maintenance engineers.
