The B737NG General Familiarisation (ATA 104 Level 1) course provides an overview of the aircraft’s construction, systems, and equipment, equivalent to 35 hours of classroom tuition. Learning modules cover the major systems and structures, including their normal functions, key components, and typical interfaces.

Our B737NG General Familiarisation course provides participants with a structured introduction to the aircraft, its systems, and its operation at a general level (ATA Spec 104 Level 1). It is suitable for personnel who require an appreciation of the aircraft’s design and functionality but do not need to perform hands-on maintenance tasks. Delivered fully online, the programme offers the flexibility to study at your own pace while still achieving the depth and quality of a classroom-based course, with modern e-learning techniques and voice over.
