Step Into the Left Seat With Confidence
Command Course Preparation for Airbus A320 Pilots
The difference between passing a Command Course and excelling in one is rarely aircraft handling. It's leadership, judgement, decision making and demonstrating Captain-level thinking. That's exactly what we prepare you for.

Our preparation course recreates these scenarios before you ever arrive at your airline training centre, allowing you to build confidence in a realistic Airbus A320 environment.

These skills are developed just as effectively in our Airbus A320 simulator, allowing you to focus on the areas that Training Captains actually assess, while saving thousands of pounds compared with repeated Level D sessions.
Designed by Airline Training Captains

We've sat in the instructor seat. We know what Command Course instructors are looking for.

The Biggest Difference Between a First Officer and a Captain
It's not just experience. It's confidence.
Many pilots discover that the hardest part of Command Training isn't flying the aircraft. It's becoming comfortable making decisions without waiting for someone else.
Our role is to help you make that transition before your airline assessment begins.
