Aviation Distance Learning Provider CPaT Global Launches Reimagined Boeing 737 NG Aircraft Systems Course with Rich New Graphics, and Microlesson Structure

Global – CPaT Global, a leading provider of distance learning solutions for the airline and aviation industry, is proud to announce the launch of its reimagined Boeing 737-800 Aircraft Systems course, featuring CPaT SmartGraphics™ and an advanced microlesson learning structure designed to transform pilot training engagement and efficiency.

This all-new course is designed with high-quality, realistic visuals powered by CPaT SmartGraphics™, offering a visually dynamic experience that enhances student engagement. In addition, the course is built on CPaT’s next-generation framework, Microlessons.

“This course exemplifies our focus on innovation and instructional excellence,” said Capt. Greg Darrow, CPaT’s Vice President of Sales. “Every detail, from the visuals to the modular design, was made to empower airline training departments and elevate how pilots interact with complex aircraft systems.”

Microlessons offer many benefits to today’s pilots and training directors. From a student standpoint, the course will provide a seamless training experience through bite-sized, targeted modules that help pilots master complex material, and improve knowledge retention without cognitive overload.

The modular structure will allow faster updates to ensure content remains aligned with current fleet configurations and SOPs and provide the ability to update a single Microlesson without reloading an entire course.

Built on CPaT’s next-generation framework, the Boeing 737 NG course release also serves as a foundation for future courses like the A320 CEO expected later this year, and capabilities of CPaT Invent 2.0, the platform’s forthcoming evolution that will power scenario-based training and configuration of CPaT SmartGraphics™.

“This release marks just the beginning,” added Darrow. “The Boeing 737 NG course is our first step toward an even more interactive, customizable training experience for our courses that clients will be able to harness through Invent 2.0.”
