Scottish Pilot Training Organisation Enhances Fast Track Pilot Training Programme and Introduces US Flight Training Option
ACS Flight Training has announced an exciting update to its Fast Track programme, offering aspiring airline pilots a new pathway to accelerate their careers. Traditionally, the Fast Track programme required students to start as zero-hour Private Pilot Licence (PPL) trainees, progressing from Module 1 and completing their training in just 18 months. Now, ACS is introducing the option for students to join directly at Module 2 (Hour Building).
This new format allows candidates to obtain their PPL independently before joining the Fast Track programme, enabling more flexibility in where they complete their initial training. It also opens doors for those who already hold a PPL, providing an opportunity to fast-track their journey towards becoming airline pilots.
Students joining at Module 2 will be eligible for a £10,940 credit towards their course fee, with more flexible start dates compared to the set and competitive dates of Module 1.
Additionally, ACS Flight Training offers an enticing upgrade for the Hour Building Module: students can gain 80 hours of flight experience in the USA. For an upgrade fee of £695, students will receive flights, car hire, and accommodation, enjoying excellent flying conditions ideal for hour building and gaining valuable international experience.
