01
Origins of APS MCC
Nearly a decade ago, aviation regulators introduced Multi-Crew Co-operation to Airline Pilot Standards (APS MCC) as a Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) programme. This ground-breaking course was created to raise the bar for airline pilot training, ensuring that those who complete it are fully equipped for the rigorous demands of Type Rating training.

02
Industry Standard APS MCC
APS MCC was carefully designed to provide trainees with the knowledge and skills necessary for their first multi-pilot type-rating. It has become widely recognised as the standard qualification for entry by many airlines, superseding the old ‘attendance-only’ MCC/JOC courses. This change demonstrates the aviation sector’s dedication to competency and operational preparedness among new pilots.

03
Championing Modular APS MCC
A key principle for OAT is to ‘LEVEL UP’ and promote opportunities for trainee pilots who follow the MODULAR route towards airline employment. OAT is devoted to expanding access to APS MCC training, empowering modular pilots to further develop their abilities and unlock a broader spectrum of airline career options.
