The Dual Diploma + MCC offers a more integrated and comprehensive training package, combining certain components that are present in each individual course. With a more streamlined training program, the student will gain more multi-engine hours, more airline-relevant training and their MCC at a reduced cost as compared to completing each qualification individually.

The multi-crew cooperation certificate (MCC) provides students with highly relevant, industry specific training in a multi-crew environment. The MCC is often a requirement for most airline jobs and the course teaches the student important skills in a managing cooperative, team environment.

The Cessna 200 Series flying module is an optional training component available to students. Cessna 200 hours are recognised as the minimum requirement to gain entry level employment in General Aviation(GA). Many commercial pilots begin their careers in General Aviation the opportunity for the student to learn to fly these aircraft will significantly improve their employability upon completely the course and improve their chances of attaining that first Aviation job.
