GI Bill® Eligible Training Using Your Benefits at ATP

You can use GI Bill® benefits for programs offered at ATP JETS to complete the ATP CTP course, earn an A320 type rating, or obtain your ATP certificate by combining both programs. In the Airline Career Pilot Program, GI Bill® benefits can be used to reimburse examiner and knowledge test fees.

Using Your GI Bill® Benefits for the Airline Career Pilot Program

Your GI Bill® benefits can not be used to pay for the Airline Career Pilot Program – only reimbursement of FAA examiners' fees and knowledge tests. You would typically need to be enrolled in a collegiate flight training program to utilize more of your benefits. These programs will take four to five years to complete and could still cost you about $100,000 out-of-pocket, even after using your benefits. This route will ultimately cost more and delay you getting to the airlines by up to three years. When it comes to your flight training, ATP offers you the fastest, most efficient path, with full financing available at highly competitive rates.
