This is what our customers say about Cockpit4u:

"During the expansion of our fleet, Cockpit4u supported us on the training of TRI's, TRE's and pilots on the types of Airbus A330 as well as Boeing B777. We received the highest professional training on a world class level."

Peter Pont, Acting VP Flight Training Emirates

"Cockpit4u offers a very professional type rating in a very comfortable environment. The individual support by the entire team involved the provision of a comfortable accommodation and ended up with a job support. The instructors, all of which are active airline transport pilots, were from the first day on my side and supported us with advice and help. The very modern equipped training center of Cockpit4u was nothing you could ask for and offered us around-the-clock free access to all of the facilities. The skillful combination of theory and practical work, professional management and motivated instructors have contributed to the success of my type ratings. Only 3 weeks after my simulator checkride I was offered a job with Eastern Europe's leading low cost airline with the assistance of Cockpit4u from the very beginning."

David Peacock, Malaga (Spanien)

"I found the course and training excellent and to a high standard, and the after course assistance very helpful and timely. I have no problems in recommending Cockpit4u for type training, LPCs, and SFI / TRI courses."

Captain David Phillip Pelchen

“The ambience at the institute is very friendly and soothing. The liberty to use the facilities round the clock facilitated us to work at our own pace and time. Amazing instructors both in respect of knowledge and teaching. Good study material. However, FBS training should be done. This would facilate to have an understanding about the flight concepts, real time understanding of cockpit procedures. And would have saved lot of time in FFS. Nice and pleasant accomodation. However, if accomodation could be arranged closer to the facility or at such location that there is no need to change trains / buses, that would again facilitate commuting. Nevertheless, very good support by your team.”

Lalit Garg, India

I am Spanish and an unemployed pilot but in Cockpit4u I found a high quality training and I was very wrapped in a foreign country. Cockpit4u has modern facilities, experienced teachers and they helped me throughout my training. And I hope in the future to increase my training with them.

Antonio Villena

“The learning atmosphere at C4U is very relaxing and stimulating. The helpful crew at C4U is always willing to help and assist with questions and issues of all kind. I found it a very comfortable learning environment and a very good working environment. The instructors are all motivated and you sense that the team is working together very well.

The instructors are all active pilots, mostly captains, and have many years of experience on large aircrafts. All are willing and eager to share their experience with you in a relaxing way. They treat you like equals and they are all motivated and passionate about flying. It is really fun to be trained by captains who share their passion with you. This is an additional boost to ones own motivation. None of the instructors are snobby about their status and all treat you as equals. This is really stimulating.

The quality of the study material and the computer-based training material is very good. During the course all student have their own fully equipped desk and computer equipment during the course. This results in a very structured study environment. All material used is official airline and airplane manufacturers stuff. You are being trained on the simulators at Lufthansa Training Center in Berlin which is close to C4U.

High compliments for the accomodation and the support provided by C4U to find accomodation during the course. In fact you don't have to worry about anything. It is really almost an all-inclusive package. Housing and lodging are provided at very attractive rates and one has the choice between fully furnished appartments or a hotel. Restaurants and catering are on the airfield in the vicinity of C4U and lunches and meals are really a bargain. The environment also stimulates to build contacts with other students.

Only positive words about the support provided by and the quality of the C4U team. They all are very committed and show a lot of personal interest in your well-being and your progress during the course. After the course they provide you with job opportunities as much as possible.”

Ernst Jan Smit, The Netherlands

"The atmosphere while learning
A great working environment with excellent computer and physical training aids accompanied with very knowledgeable members of staff made my type rating a very enjoyable experience; I would definitely return to Cockpit4u, and have recommended them to many of my friends and colleagues.

The competence of the instructor
Highly approachable current or former Captains, many of whom were rated on more than one aircraft, made the whole learning process come alive with references to real life situations and experiences that they had had. Their technical knowledge and their passion for flying accompanied by their willingness and ability to teach was outstanding.

Quality of study material and equipment
The CBT is excellent, very thorough and breaks the course down into manageable chunks in a logical order.

Accommodation
The accommodation was clean, affordable and easily accessible from the Cockpit4u office and sim centre. It was in close proximity to everything you need on the course.

Support by the Cockpit4u-Team
Excellent support before, during and after my rating. The organisation of the company and friendliness of all the staff is impeccable- they think of everything! If only all companies were run in this way!"

Karl Stark

"Sure, think I will return."

Christian Dominguez

"I have to say that all the courses were very good organized and the environment excellent. All the instructors and people in Cockpit4u are very professional, and very helpful. The accomodation is good."

Diana Reycabeza

"I've been through only one (short) course at Cockpit4u which has been held individually for me.

The atmosphere was certainly very good. The instructors with whom I had to do, were friendly, competent, and VERY helpful. Above all, of course, I personally like working with Stefan Heuss, but all the other instructors were good, also.

The support from the Cockpit4u team, I can only say with one word: Perfect! I always got my desired simulator check even on short notice. Discussions on the telephone were uncomplicated, and responses by email always came immediately. Mr. Stefan Heuss, I've known him for years, and I appreciate his calm and stress free manner, his humor and of course, his competence. Too bad that we only had little time. The people in the office did not only do all the necessary paper work in a timely manner, but also had time to answer questions or take care of things that were not necessarily part of their duties - for example, calling a taxi or to make coffee. These are only very small things, but nevertheless these are the things that makes you happy.

I highly appreciate that I really did not have to worry about anything but my checkride. It would be really too much work for me if I coming from a foreign country had to solve problems from the authorities for some forms and applications.

Accommodation: I always stay at the Airport Hotel Berlin Schoenefeld and today it is called Leonardo for my annual 16A4-check. It is the building directly opposite the LFT. From there I can walk to the simulator (5 minutes), and there is a supermarket, restaurant and a bakery nearby. From Schoenefeld airport, it is only one stop by Train (S-Bahn).

All in all, I am very pleased with Cockpit4u. The atmosphere with them is more comfortable, the location is convenient, and they are simply much more flexible with my individual needs than other competitors. Therefore, I will in the future exclusively do my training with them."

"The learning atmosphere was relaxed and efficient. Although I had made a lot of home study, being a TRE 300 converting to TRE 330, the preliminary discussion with the instructor, Ralph Basseler proved very useful and engaging for the next 2 days, with young Spanish trainees.

Ralph has proven to be a state of the art instructor, with discussions rather than boring briefings and debriefings kept short and to the point:  in short, a dream of a person to work with.

The training material (simulator program, simulator use manual) was sent to me in due time for self learning and I had no problem at all in handling all the stuff.

During the entire process of selecting a training center for my TRI-TRE conversion, Mrs. Heuss showed me the meaning of 'german efficiency':  all documents requested by the Belgian CAA were forwarded in the shortest time, correct and complete on every occasion. I wish I could encounter that kind of support in all centers I've been working with (two in Belgium and one in Hong Kong).

The hotel recommended by Mrs. Heuss fitted my needs:  price, location, quietness were all what I expected.

Holger Herbert

"I would like to thank everyone who made my Type Rating with Cockpit4U so well organised and informative. The whole process from day one was extremely well planned with a wealth of experienced instructors on hand whenever needed. The State of the Art Facilities at Lufthansa's Training Centre combined with Boeing procedures and excellent instructions I believe, will put any Trainee in a highly employable situation. Many thanks to all the staff once again. Highly recommended"

Claudio Vidini (BSc) - Professional Pilot

"We are writing to you because we finally passed the skill check last week and now the target is closer ;) Both me and Massimiliano would like to thank you a lot for your kind help and support. We had a great time in cockpit for you and we have to say that we received a good and precise training and support even with our not so standard schedule. We have done our best, and we are sure that our willingness to find a position on the bus will finally find a positive ending.We both are sure you will continue to support us in order to reach our target."

Thanking you again for your professionalism, kindness and support, we wish you a nice Sunday
Sincerely,

Andrea & Massimiliano

"Congratulations for successful completion of three years in aviation industry.CockpitCONNECT is a great invention by you and it is also a nice idea to communicate with clients by giving the information needful for them. Yes,I have certainly found a lot of information in this letter.Most of all I got to know that Cockpit4u has provided 100 crews for their type rating on  Boeing 737.This added a little hope in me that may be one day,Cokpit4u recommend me to Germanian ailrline for job if I deserve so.

I am happy to see the success of Cockpit4u at every stage.And I also hope that Cockpit4u keep me with it at every point of its successful event.

The very best Regards

"I was about to write you to say « Many thanks to all of yours » for the very professional training received. Competence, professionalism, punctuality, value for money, ... in brief, that's what I call « the German way ». From what I have seen elsewhere and according to my own experience, you are far ahead of your competitors. Keep up this good work and nice company.

Congratulations to you all, and, ....  a special distinction to Gunnar Carino (certainly a great asset within C4U).

All my kindest regards.

Edwin De Meester

"First of all, we would like to thank you for the informative day Jacob and I had with you on the 18th Dec. Everything about your school, facilities and people made a really good impression on us. Most of the people we had a chat with on the 17th from your office mentioned Airbus as the current best solution. You actually managed to change our own opinion that day away from Boeing:-) 

We are these days really "crunching" our minds towards making a final decision. There is no doubt about that we find your school as one of the most atractive. After reading your Christmas mail sent out, we would like you to send us your final offer for an Airbus TR.
Hope to be seeing you soon.

Jacob & Peter

To everyone at Cockpit4u.

I would just like to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Cockpit4u. I found you all to be warm hearted, welcoming and very supportive. I met a lot of new people and also made a few friends along the way.

I would like to take the opportunity to praise each and every one of you for doing such a fantastic job, your hard work and help made sure that my type rating would be a time I can look back on with fond memories, so I send a very big thank you at to all of you. Keep up the good work.

I will recommend Cockpit4u to everyone I know who is looking at undertaking a type rating. If anyone ever asks me about Cockpit4u I can assure you your company will receive the highest of praise and recommendation.

Yours sincerely,

Carl M Grundy

Would just like to say thank you for the interview preparation course on Tuesday. Gunnar Carino was very informative and practical and taught me a lot about how to conduct myself during a potential airline interview. Hopefully I can apply what I learnt from him some day soon.  Unfortunately this time my visit was very brief but yet again I was very satisfied with the course from Cockpit4u.

Kind Regards,

Suroush Hosseini

Finally both Jacob and I would like to express our utmost gratitude to you and Cockpit4U, for your proffessionalism, and the way you have been honest about the unpredictable future within the aviation industry. There is no doubt that due to the fact Jacob and I have found you the most serious of all the T/R schools we have talked with, we will recommend you to whomever might ask for a good and solid partner in the future.

Peter & Jacob

Zunächst erst einmal vielen lieben Dank für diese INFO mail. Das ist natürlich ein Service der besonderen Art von eurer Seite, den ich sehr gern annehme. Heutzutage ist es ja überhaupt nicht selbstverständlich, dass ein Unternehmen nach so langer Zeit noch Interesse an seinen Flugschülern hat. Bei den meisten zählt immer nur das liebe Geld. 

Ich habe schon damals nach meiner Ausbildung (Type Rating) 2006 gemerkt, dass Cockpit4u etwas anders ist. Ihr habt eurern Neulingen mittels vielseitiger Informationen etwas auf die Sprünge geholfen. Das hat mir richtig gut gefallen und deshalb werde ich C4U immer in bester Erinnerung behalten.

Wie gesagt , noch einmal vielen Dank und vielleicht sehen wir uns ja bald mal wieder sei es zum Training oder privat.
