Full Type Rating courses

Building resilience through competence, confidence, and connection

Earn full type rating through an integrated training ecosystem

Boeing Full Type Rating courses train pilots to master specific Boeing airplane models, aligned with the airplanes’ design, operational philosophy, and performance data.


Created by Boeing — the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) — and featuring Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) principles, each Full Type Rating course integrates technical knowledge, human factors, and decision-making behaviors to prepare airline pilots for the demands of real-world operations.


Boeing Flight Training programs develop pilot competence, not simply by requiring a set number of hours but by emphasizing the mastery of essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This foundation builds confidence and fosters connection through collaborative relationships between pilots, instructors, and digital tools that promote continuous learning and teamwork.
