The term in the CATC calendar is the term date of the start meeting. The opening meeting lasts approximately 2 hours, the responsible instructor leads the meeting and also familiarize students with the course, give them access to the Aviation Exam Testing Portal for a period of study (18 months) and explain the whole system, including the possibility of issuing certificates during the course of study. Students will be further acquainted with the rules for applying for a test at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the Czech Republic.
The start meeting can take place both remotely (online) and in-person in the CATC classroom.
The student enters the course the following month after the opening date. E.g. if the opening meeting is scheduled for October, the student enters the course in November.

Course special concept that makes the course accessible even for working population:

- Out of the total amount of 650 hrs you will have 154 hrs of consultations with CATC lecturers, ie. 25 hrs of consultations once a month, divided into 3-4 days within one week
- Consultations are always planned for a weekend plus one or two days around (for example Thursday – Sunday, Friday – Monday, Saturday – Tuesday etc.)
- Schedules will always be sent to you in advance from the planning department, or you will be able to find them in the Fox internal system, which you will be informed about, by the responsible instructor at the opening meeting.

- As the course takes place all year round and students are going every two months (each is in another stage of study – someone starts, another ends the course), each student starts with other subjects in the given month, so it is not possible to fully follow the sequence. However, in about 7 months, if the student is on a regular basis and has no absences, all the subjects are taught. In case of absence, it is possible to add missing courses in the course in English.
- You do not have to wait 7 months to complete several courses. During the course of study, CATC will issue a partial certificate on successful completion of several subjects on request. Therefore, you can start the ATPL theory test gradually at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
