Private Pilot Licence
This is where it starts. Once you have your Private Pilot Licence you are entitled to fly for recreational purposes during daylight hours and carry non-paying passengers.

A CPL allows you to be paid to fly commercially in a wide range of career options from local & international airlines, agriculture, transport, NGOs, medical and corporate.
Multi Crew Pilot Licence
To become an airline pilot, you will need an MPL or ATPL. It is specifically tailored to the airline requirements by integrating the airline’s procedures from day one of training.
