Where accredited CPE fits in Airlines
Aviation professionals often require recurrent training to maintain certifications, ratings, and licenses issued by bodies such as the FAA or industry associations. For instance, pilots need specific flight reviews, and maintenance technicians must meet inspection authorization requirements. While APA accredits CPE, providers must confirm with the relevant licensing boards or employers whether APA-accredited courses fulfill specific recurrent training mandates or credit hour requirements. Our accreditation assures learners and employers of high-quality, relevant educational content.

Do APA-accredited courses satisfy FAA recurrent training requirements for pilots or mechanics?
APA accredits the quality and educational rigor of CPE content. Providers must confirm directly with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or other relevant licensing bodies whether specific APA-accredited courses fulfill their recurrent training mandates or credit hour requirements for license maintenance.
How does APA accreditation benefit our airline's in-house training programs?
APA accreditation provides an independent, third-party validation of the educational quality and relevance of your in-house CPE. This demonstrates a commitment to professional development, ensures content meets high standards, and enhances the credibility of your training for internal staff.
What specific regulations or standards should my course content address for aviation professionals?
Course content should align with current FAA regulations (e.g., Parts 61, 65, 91, 121, 135), ICAO standards, and industry best practices from organizations like the NTSB or AOPA. Focus on practical application to real-world operational scenarios in commercial aviation.
