The next available start date is March 2026. ALL training takes place at the Peterborough Airport facility: Toronto Airways Inc. – 925 Airport Rd., Unit 400, Peterborough, ON, K9J 0E7 Please make note of the following: This program is not eligible for OSAP This program is PGWP eligible through Toronto Airways. For more information, please contact Al Robinson at Toronto Airways: [email protected]. The Canadian Integrated Airline Transport Pilot Licence (CIATPL) program is the choice for those who want a career as a professional pilot – and have little to no previous flight experience or training. The programs’ Transport Canada approved curriculum, provides students with the required skill sets needed by flight crew operating in multi-crew, advanced aircraft, in airline operations. The program uses scenario-based situations with intensive training in both aircraft and advanced flight simulation equipment to provide the knowledge and skills you need to obtain: a Private Pilot licence (PPL), a Commercial Pilot licence (CPL), and an Airline Transport Pilot licence (ATPL) Why this program? In the integrated program students have 24 months to complete this 9-phase, 3-semester program; which includes up to 750 hours of ground school training and approximately 300 hours of flight training activity using a variety of simulators/FTDs and aircraft (e.g., Cessna 172 S – Garmin G1000 and Boeing 737 Max simulator and FTD) – with all training taking place at the Peterborough Airport location. The aim of the integrated program is to take someone with no previous flight experience and prepare them for a career as an airline pilot. It is an intense, structured program which allow you complete both ground school and flight training activities at the same time – and is designed to develop the student’s knowledge and skills from an airline point of view right from the start. This is a complete program, allowing successful graduates to obtain a frozen Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). What is an “ATPL”? The ATPL is the highest level of pilot certificate you can obtain in civil aviation. To fly most, if not all, large commercial aircraft at least two pilots are needed, and the Captain in command of the flight must hold an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL). What is a “frozen” ATPL? The ATPL rating is required to be an airline pilot and is based on a combination of flight hours and written exams. Someone who does not graduate from an IATPL program is require all of the required flight time and experience before they are allowed to write the Transport Canada (TC) exams for the ATPL. Students in the CIATPL program are given the opportunity to attempt the TC ATP written exams while they are in the program, and their exam results remain valid (“frozen”) for a period of 5 years. Once they graduate, this allows them additional time to accumulate the all required flight hours, and to meet any other TC licensing requirements per the Canadian Aviation Regulations, in order to obtain the full (unfrozen) licence. About the College and our Flight Training Partner Centennial College has been in the Aviation training business for more than 45 years, and is pleased to be working in collaboration with Toronto Airways Inc. to deliver the CIATPL program from their Peterborough Airport facilities.

Successful students will graduate with a: Private Pilot Licence (PPL), A Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), A Multi-Engine class rating, a Group 1 Instrument rating, a Night rating, and A (frozen*) Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) (*) The ATPL rating is required to be an airline pilot and is based on a combination of flight hours and written exams. Successful students will have the opportunity to attempt the Transport Canada ATPL written exams prior to graduation, and their exam results will remain valid (“frozen”) for a period of 5 years. This provides the student with additional time to accumulate the required flight time and fulfill all applicable Transport Canada licensing requirements as required by the Canadian Aviation Regulations and Standards to obtain a full (unfrozen) licence. Additionally, it will prepare you to operate as single pilot in commercial air services, or as co-pilot on multi-crew, multi-engine aircraft in commercial air transportation services. Note – to apply for the following Transport Canada issued licenses applicants must be: Private Pilot Licence (PPL), a minimum of 17 years old. Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), a minimum of 18 years old. Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL), a minimum of 21 years old.
