A clear, structured and supported route from Private Pilot Licence to a career with Wizz Air - ATPL theory, advanced flight training at EFT and a Wizz Air-focused APS MCC with IAGO.
From ATPL(A) theory through advanced flight training at EFT, then on to the Wizz Air-specific APS MCC delivered by IAGO - built around the competencies, standards and professional behaviours expected of airline flight crew.
For pilots who have already completed their ATPL(A) theory. A direct, full-time route through advanced flight training and on to Wizz Air-focused APS MCC training.
Everyone needs 170 hours total (100 as PIC) and a Night Rating before advanced flight training. Not there yet? EFT can help you get there.
The academic foundation of every airline pilot: 13 exams covering flight planning, meteorology, aircraft systems, performance, navigation, air law and more. Flexible self-study with structured support, an extensive video library, a comprehensive question bank and revision weeks online or in person.
Delivered full-time at EFT in our modern Diamond fleet, this is where you move from private flying to professional aviation.
The Airline Pilot Standards Multi-Crew Cooperation course is where professional flight training moves into the airline environment. Your final phase is delivered by IAGO, Wizz Air’s training partner, in an Airbus A320/A321 simulator with airline-focused instructors and procedures. Rather than completing a generic APS MCC and then preparing separately for Wizz Air, you enter it with Wizz Air specifically in mind.
Flexible at the start, full-time at the finish. ATPL theory fits around work and family and takes six to 18 months, with most students finishing within 12. Advanced training is then full-time: around four months of MEP, CPL, MEIR and UPRT, three weeks of APS MCC preparation and about two and a half weeks of APS MCC. You can expect to be airline assessment ready around six months after starting advanced training.*
The Wizz Air Pathway is a structured route to the flight deck without large upfront payments. Unlike many integrated programmes, you pay for each stage as you reach it.
Secures your place on the pathway. The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel, but is credited against your training and returned once all training invoices have been settled.
All prices include VAT and the first attempt at any applicable UK CAA examination. Training is delivered on a pay-as-you-go basis throughout, with a £1,000 deposit required to secure a place on any pathway. Prices do not include hour building, Night Rating training, training completed above the regulatory minimum course requirements, landing or instrument approach fees, accommodation, travel expenses or flight equipment. Prices are correct as of May 2026 and are subject to change. Please refer to the pricing page for full details of additional charges and optional extras.
The pathway is developed in partnership with Wizz Air, and suitable high-performing candidates may be considered for Wizz Air Fast Track Assessment. It doesn’t tie you to one airline, though: you’ll finish qualified to apply across the industry.
Real pilots. Real airlines. Real careers. Modular flight training produces results.
Three boarding groups - from no flying experience, a PPL(A) or ATPL(A) theory - with APS MCC at Simtech Aviation and opportunities across the airline industry.
