After completing all phases of ACPP training, cadets join the contracted airline. Those who successfully complete the training will obtain a CPL licence with IR/MCC ratings and a type rating (Type Rating) for the corresponding type of aircraft.

The training is preceded by a screening process organized by CATC and the airline, successful graduates of the training do not need to go through another screening process before joining the airline. Employment with the airline is contractually guaranteed to successful graduates of the ACPP training.

The ACPP course usually lasts 21 months. In addition to theoretical subjects, flying single and twin-engine propeller aircraft, flight simulator and aerobatic aircraft, it also includes type rating and, base training (7 circuits).
