Comercial Pilot License Conversion

CPL Conversion

All ICAO CPL licenses can be converted to an EASA – CPL.
There are several requirements you have to fulfil to do so.

The Conversion training consist of two parts

Theoretical training

You need to do either the CPL Theoretical Exams consisting of 9 exams or the 13 ATPL exams which also covers the Instrument Rating and are required if you wish to work in a multi crew environment such as an airline.

The theory study can be undertaken with either our residential training course or with our distance learning course.

If you would like to convert your CPL license with an Instrument Rating

We suggest you do the ATPL theory course, because this includes CPL and IR theory, and will give you the “frozen ATPL” credit.

Please look at our CPL & ATPL Courses page for more information.
