Our next A320 type rating course will be conducted in SmartLynx Estonian ATO, January 2018. This is the first and only training organization in Estonia providing Type Rating on Airbus A320 series. We have great plans for the future of both Training Centres: soon we are going to launch also Type Rating Instructor (TRI) / Synthetic Flight Instructor (SFI) courses. Moreover, we are seriously considering introducing the Flight Dispatcher training. Our mission is to turn your passion for aviation into your profession in different segments of this exciting industry which is aviation.”
