PPL Bridge course

Get your PPL in other category ✓

Once fed up a bit with flying an aeroplane you might be interested to switch to helicopter or vice versa. Besides your PPL flight training on a new category, you also need a PPL bridge course followed by written exam. EASA established the bridge courses to significantly credit your current theory credit towards the licence for the other category of an aircraft. ProfiPilot Training is delighted to provide you with PPL bridge course for any other category of an aircraft.
