Before you book

Good to know.

What does a course cost?

Tuition depends on the course, format and group size. Send us an enquiry and we’ll reply with current pricing and dates — there’s no obligation.

What do I need to bring?

Closed-toe work shoes and comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. We provide products, equipment and PPE for practical sessions, and you’ll receive a joining list after booking.

Do I need ID to access the training venue?

Usually, yes. Airports and FBOs control airside access, so we’ll ask for your details in advance and you may need to show a passport or national ID card and be escorted on the ramp.

What happens if I can’t make my dates?

Let us know as early as possible. Transfers, refunds and substitutions depend on how much notice you give — see Cancellations & refunds in our Terms.

Does the certificate let me work on any aircraft?

No. It confirms the training you completed. Access to aircraft is always subject to the owner’s or operator’s permission, the airport’s and FBO’s rules, and the aircraft manufacturer’s guidance. Detailing never includes maintenance tasks, which must be carried out by appropriately licensed maintenance personnel.

Not sure where to start?

Tell us about your experience and goals, and we’ll recommend the right training path — for you or your team.
