Everything you've worked for comes down to your investment in preparation
You spent years earning your licences and ratings. Don't let a lack of quality simulator training become the reason you miss your airline opportunity.
AlphaTech APS CPD removes one of the biggest barriers facing new pilots: access to professional Airbus A320 simulator training. From as little as £40 per hour, you'll train with airline instructors in a structured programme designed to develop the Pilot Core Competencies airlines assess every day.
The most affordable investment you'll ever make in your airline career.
Most pilots spend £80,000 to £120,000 earning their licences an ratings, then stop training because simulator time costs £200+ per hour.
That's often the point where careers slow up.
APS CPD changes that.
From just £40 per hour, you can continue developing the skills airlines actually assess. Core Competencies, MCC, CRM, SOP discipline, decision making and Airbus operational techniques.
Every hour in the simulator makes you more prepared for the opportunity that could change your career.
Stop thinking about the cost. Think about the opportunity to develop your competency
You only need one successful airline assessment.
One simulator session could be the difference between passing and failing.
One airline job could change the next 30 years of your career.

Read our pilots' testimonials
"I visited AlphaTech after being made redundant feeling very deflated and anxious about the future. I had a Lauda sim assessment and booked 4 hrs in the A320 to focus on raw data and CRM. I never felt rushed or assessed. I received remarkable instruction from the AlphaTech instructors and my sim assessment at Lauda was the best I've ever done. The simulator itself is excellent, it does everything and more that a Level D device can do."
"Honestly, I wasn't sure if I would need some sim time in preparation for my command course upgrade assessment, but after a full briefing and a four hour command course preparation at AlphaTech, I discovered I could still learn something! Things that I hadn't thought of before as a First Officer. Thanks again AlphaTech. Command course done. Thoroughly recommended."
"Excellent sim preparation course. Just enough data to make things gel together. Short notice was no problem. Would recommend and use AlphaTech again."
"I had a brilliant experience at AlphaTech during my airline sim assessment preparation session. The instructors have an obvious wealth of experience within the industry and the A320 sim is of a very high standard and feels close to flying the real thing at a reasonable cost."
