Training
Airbus Customer Services Training Centres ensure a smooth entry into service of Airbus aircraft by providing operators with a wide range of training courses for pilots, flight attendants, maintenance staff and performance engineers, using innovative courseware, top level instructors and the most advanced training technologies available.
These courses are provided through a global network of training centres ensuring flexibility for Airbus customers.
Airbus training centres in Toulouse, Miami, Hamburg, Bangalore and Beijing offer a broad range of customized, interactive courses with constantly updated programmes and state-of-the-art equipment to train flight and cabin crews as well as maintenance personnel. These include, among others, the highly-efficient Airbus Pilot Transition (APT) course which incorporates the APT Trainer, the Airbus Pilot Instructor Course (APIC) bringing a significant new philosophy to pilot training, and the approved Cross-Crew-Qualification (CCQ) courses. On the maintenance side, the Airbus Competence Training for maintenance (ACT) concept provides practical and operationally-orientated maintenance training courses, which can be completed by a variety of specialty and competence courses for maintenance specialists in airlines and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisations.
All courses are designed and developed by Airbus, not only specific to flight crews, maintenance staff and cabin attendants, but also in general terms for structure repair specialists (composite), and engineering and operational personnel. Other innovations have also been developed, including the integration of behaviour training into the training (Crew Resource Management, CRM).
The different courses can be run in Airbus Training Centres, and more and more at your location, thanks to mobile solutions or e-Learning features.
