Courses

 

ALPA policy requires that prior to attending any ALPA International training course, pilots must obtain the approval of their MEC Central Air Safety, Security, Jumpseat, or Pilot Assistance chair, or MEC chair as appropriate. Additionally, the training courses are designed to be taken in sequence and therefore may require completing a prerequisite training program(s). By submitting your registration, you are verifying that you have (1) received the necessary MEC approval, as appropriate for you to attend the course and (2) have met that course’s prerequisites. If you don't know who to contact to obtain MEC approval for you to attend, call 888-FLY-ALPA or email ALPA.
