Ab-initio pilot training

Sabena Flight Academy Africa offers an integrated ATPL-course, which means that students will run through the complete training in 1 block, taking 22 months.
The training will mainly be done in Cameroon and in our Flight Training Center in Arizona, USA

During that training, we will constantly be working towards one goal:

Give a maximum of knowledge and skills to each of our students.
To make you the best pilot you can be.
Maximum input for maximum output.

This input goes beyond the official JAR-requirements; subjects as personal development, behavior, social and language skills will also be focused on during your stay at SFA-A. All communication is done in English; nevertheless, we give extra courses in French to anticipate future job opportunities.

We start a new class every 6 months and classes are limited to 16 students. Date of registration will be decisive to give a ranking amongst students. Selection Tests are mandatory and organized throughout the year. In order to be able to get into the class of your preference, don't book too late.
