  • What We Do

    CPaT is the world leader in commercial aviation Computer Based Training (CBT).

    CPaT has seen several companies come and go in the Computer-based/Web-based training arena along with various delivery and tracking methods. We began operation back in 1994 with floppy disks on Windows and now develop programs for online and offline use on multiple platforms.
    We believe in making training better while also making it more cost-effective.

    CPaT has one of the largest aircraft systems libraries in the business and a Learning Management System (LMS) that provides everything a company needs for tracking and recording data without making you pay for a lot of frills you will never use.
    Access to the LMS is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

    We encourage you to look at our courseware, compare its interactivity, superior training value and ease of use with our competitors.

    Our courseware also allows for selectable languages both in text and audio. This can help new pilots learn a system while practicing their Aviation English.

    Please contact us if you have any questions.

  • Our History

    1994: We began providing commercial pilot classroom presentations for the MD-80, DC-9, B737-200, and B737-300 programs to FSI in Long Beach, CA.

    1997: We signed a contract to provide network and CD-ROM based custom training for Continental Airlines.
    2000: We began marketing the new highly interactive CBT programs to airlines through a CPaT developed password licensing system.

  • CPaT mobile provides an offline solution to the CPaT training library developed for web platforms.

    This app allows our Learning Management System (LMS) users to view their training progress, launch into their online account, and best of all take their interactive training offline by downloading the desired material.

    Once downloaded, the material will be available without the need for an internet connection and can be viewed at the users convenience.

    When a connection to the web can be made, the data accumulated from the downloaded content may be synchronized back to the CPaT LMS with a simple button click.

    At first the app will only be available on the iPad, but we will soon begin development for other popular mobile devices.
