By Delta Professional Services

Sanders Flight Training Center (SFTC) is proud to offer the ATP Certification Training Program (ATP-CTP) through a partnership with Delta Aircrew Training Center (DATC). This partnership provides our students with unmatched resources in achieving the ultimate goal of a major air line career.  The academic portion of the course will be conducted by Delta Professional Services (DPS) Instructors at the Delta Aircrew Training Center in Atlanta GA.  All DPS Instructors are either current Delta simulator instructors or retired Delta Captains equipped with the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure your success. Once complete with academics, students will begin simulator training where they will experience hands on training in some of the world's most sophisticated full motion flight simulators. This immersion provides our students with ample opportunities to network and observe the inner workings of part 121 air carrier operations. Upon completion of training, you will be eligible to complete your ATP(ATM) Written Exam and progress to your follow on ATP practical preparation and check ride back at Sanders Aviation in Jasper AL.
