Ept Aviation Training Requirements

EPT Aviation Training provides a range of aviation-related training programs, with strict requirements set for prospective students, particularly for those pursuing the Cabin Crew Licensing Programme. The program is accredited by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA). Applicants are required to have a valid Class 4 aviation medical certificate and a Matric Certificate (Grade 12) with a minimum of 50% in English; Level 4 is recommended[4][5][6]. There is no age restriction to enroll, but candidates must be 18 years old at the time of writing the SACAA licensing exam[2]. Although NQF Level 4 is not a statutory prerequisite, most airlines prefer or require it when hiring, and no specific school subjects are necessary[2].

The Cabin Crew Licensing Learning Programme uses a blended learning approach. It is structured into two main components:

  • Online Component (8 weeks): Learners study theoretical material using the e-learning platform, participate in forums, and must complete all self-study tests and quizzes before progressing to the next stage. Engagement with virtual classroom content—including videos and supplementary information—is required[1].
  • Mandatory Residency Component (2 weeks): Learners attend in-person lectures and tuition at EPT Aviation Training, where they complete written examinations and practical/skills assessments. Daily attendance is mandatory in this phase for successful completion of the course[1].

A fully operational cabin simulator at the training center allows practical training in realistic scenarios, exceeding some legislative minima for hands-on experience. All assessments, written and practical, are conducted during the residency phase[1].

For those interested in Airline Ground Crew roles, the requirement is an NQF Level 4 certificate and the course duration is 10 months. Practical, theoretical, and workplace experience components are all mandatory for certification[3].
