A320 Family type training

Airbus A318 / A319 / A320 / A321

Approval

What we are approved to deliver

The A320 family is the backbone of short-haul fleets across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and it is the type most of our students come to us for. We hold approval for the whole family, on both engine options, for theory and practical alike.

Aviation Training Experts holds EASA Part-147 Maintenance Training and Examination Organisation approval EASA.147.0140. The table below is our approved scope for this type, taken directly from our approval schedule.

Both engine options sit on separate approvals, so an engineer moving between a CFM56 operator and a V2500 operator can be trained on either without leaving the family. Tell us which fleet you are joining and we will scope it correctly.

Delivery

How this course runs

Belgrade, your site, or virtual

Delivered at our approved site at Karnegijeva 7/44 in Belgrade, at a remote site, or through our live virtual classroom platform — taught by the same instructors either way. Virtual sessions are live, not pre-recorded, and are recorded so a dropped connection costs you nothing.

Practical on real hardware

Hands-on training on actual aircraft components, tools and equipment at our EASA-approved practical location — Adria Tehnika, Brnik Aerodrom, Slovenia.

Examination

Written examinations for theoretical courses and hands-on assessment for practical. The minimum pass mark is typically 75%, with resits available and feedback on exactly what to work on.

Certificate

An EASA Part-147 Type Rating Training Certificate, recognised across EASA member states, used to add the type to your Part-66 licence through your national aviation authority.

Languages

English by default, as the international language of aviation. Serbian, Spanish and Arabic delivery can be arranged — tell us your preference when you enquire.

Scheduling

Airlines and MROs can have courses built around the operation rather than a fixed calendar. Book two to three weeks ahead where you can, earlier for group bookings.

Entry

Who the course is for

Full type rating

A valid EASA Part-66 B1 or B2 licence, or an equivalent recognised by your national aviation authority.

Difference training

An existing type rating on a related aircraft.

Category C

Aimed at base maintenance certifying staff.

General familiarisation

Open to engineering, planning, operations and technical support staff without a Part-66 licence. If that is your situation, say so and we will point you at the right course rather than the type rating.

Documents you will need

Valid ID or passport · a copy of your Part-66 licence where applicable · previous type rating certificates for difference courses · evidence of relevant experience · a company authorisation letter for sponsored students.

Duration

Duration, examination and certificate

A full B1/B2 type rating course typically runs six to eight weeks including theoretical and practical elements. Difference courses run one to two weeks, general familiarisation one to two weeks, and individual module courses three to four days. Exact duration depends on the aircraft and the licence category, so treat these as planning figures and confirm with us.

Theoretical courses conclude with written examinations, practical courses with hands-on assessment. The minimum pass mark is typically 75%. If you do not pass first time you can resit, with feedback on the areas to work on — a retake fee may apply.

On successful completion you receive an EASA Part-147 Type Rating Training Certificate, recognised across EASA member states, which you use to add the type to your Part-66 licence through your national aviation authority.

We recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead. Group and company-sponsored bookings from airlines and MROs are welcome and can be scheduled around your operation.
