# ATP Flight School > ATP Flight School (Airline Transport Professionals) is a nationwide U.S. airline pilot training organization designed exclusively for professional airline careers—not recreational or hobby aviation. **“ATP” on this site:** In consumer copy and navigation, **ATP** means **ATP Flight School** (the training organization). It does **not** mean the FAA **Airline Transport Pilot certificate**. When referring to the pilot credential, spell out **Airline Transport Pilot certificate**—do not abbreviate it as “ATP” in summaries about the school or its programs. Founded in 1984, ATP trains pilots for U.S. airline careers through full-time and part-time programs, airline-backed Career Tracks™, fleet and maintenance infrastructure, and structured career services.
