Aviation Career Center (ACC)

Aviation Career Center is an EASA-approved training organisation at Maribor International Airport in Slovenia. The academy is run by airline professionals, including A320 airline pilots, certified training developers and former aviation authority executives, and the school says it deliberately limits student intake.

ACC also advertises an A320 Cadet Program, which it describes as pilot training with a guaranteed airline placement; the school does not publish the duration or the placement conditions, so ask us for them. ACC publishes a price of EUR 133,000 for the A320 Cadet Program but does not say what it includes. The school also lists modular options including IR, ME and CPL, MCC and jet orientation training, and an A320 type rating.

The fleet includes Evektor SportStar RTC, PS-28 Cruiser, Diamond DA40 and Cessna 172 singles and Tecnam P2006T and Diamond DA42 twins, with an ALSIM AL250 FNPT II simulator; A320 type rating training uses a full flight simulator. Maribor Airport has controlled airspace, an ILS CAT I and a 2,500 metre runway with moderate traffic and low congestion, and the school estimates living costs at EUR 550 to 700 a month.
