Our Courses

Coptering's training program covers every stage of a helicopter pilot's career, from private licenses and professional courses to advanced certifications that allow pilots to expand their skills and advance within the aviation industry. In addition, we offer support services such as housing, financing, transportation, and visa processing.

Professional Pilot Courses

These courses are the mandatory first step toward obtaining a commercial helicopter pilot license from scratch. The program includes the official ground school training and the flight hours required by law. Upon completion, you will earn the official certification necessary to enter the job market and work in various professional fields within the helicopter industry.

Private Pilot Course

This specialized course enables students to train as private helicopter pilots and fly safely. The technical training covers non-commercial operations focused on leisure and recreational use. Upon completion, you will have taken the first natural step toward eventually obtaining a commercial pilot license and achieving your goals in the industry.

Advanced Courses

These specialized courses allow professional pilots to expand their qualifications and earn new type ratings. Technical training covers external load missions, night flying, winch rescue, and firefighting. Upon completion, you’ll earn the official qualification to directly take on high-demand missions and fill the most sought-after positions in the industry.

Introductory Flight

Alongside a professional instructor, you'll take the controls of a Gyroplane Cabri G2 helicopter and learn the basics of flying in a safe, controlled environment.

Our students say

Marc Garcia

Skytour Pilot

I started at Coptering when I was 18. First, I completed the theory portion, and within a month of starting the course, I was already taking flight lessons. I earned my license in a year and a half (I even got it before my driver’s license). For me, the job placement rate here is 100%; practically everyone leaves the school with a job. In my case, as soon as I finished, I already had offers from four or five firefighting companies to start working.

Martí Gil Ros

Rotorsun Pilot

I really enjoyed my experience at the school. The past year and a half has flown by, but I’ve had a great time. I had classmates my own age, and my relationship with the teachers and instructors was excellent. Ultimately, I’m doing something I love: coming in every morning to fly a helicopter—it’s not your typical college experience. Right now, I’m serving as a second pilot (co-pilot) on a firefighting helicopter. From what I’ve seen, there’s a huge shortage of pilots in the industry.

Alex González

Pegasus Pilot IATPL Course

“I knew for sure that I wanted to be a helicopter pilot. I looked into and compared different schools, and Coptering was the best option. At Coptering, everything moved very quickly; I was able to fly practically every day thanks to their fleet, and I got my license in just over a year. Finding a job was very quick. People were already calling me even before I had my license. If you’re eager to do it, go for it—there are plenty of job opportunities.”

Martin Riedel

GHS Pilot Modular ATPL Course (Germany)

“At Coptering, I was able to balance my training and my job very well thanks to the flexibility of its modular program. Right after finishing the course, I was offered a job as a pilot with Heslo Operations at a German company. My advice is to take the course at Coptering because of its innovative philosophy, modern fleet, and high standards of safety management.”

Fire Fighting

What I liked the most is that from the beginning you do real flight practices. The methodology is very dynamic and you can see that the school is committed to safety and professionalism. Thanks to Coptering I am now continuing my training and I feel much more prepared for the aeronautical world.
