Course, academy, certification — people call this different things. Here is what it actually is, and what it involves.
All three describe part of it. ABP is a structured training course — 13 modules and 105 lessons across three phases — run like an academy, with live instructor-led sessions rather than videos alone, and it ends in a certification: graduates finish as an ABP Certified Charter Broker. Whichever term you searched for, this is the programme it points at.
Charter brokerage. ABP trains you to arrange private jet charter flights for clients — sourcing aircraft, quoting, negotiating with operators and managing the trip — not to buy and sell aircraft. Aircraft sales brokerage is a different trade with different economics, and the course does not claim to teach it.
Both. Phase 1 is self-paced online theory you take in your own time. Phase 2 is live group simulations capped at six people, run by working brokers, where you handle real scenarios and roleplays. Phase 3 is mentorship and career support. Everything is remote, so you can take it from anywhere.
Between 8 and 12 weeks end to end, depending on the pace you set in the self-paced phase. That covers pre-enrollment, roughly four to five weeks of theory, three weeks of live simulations, and two to three weeks of career support.
There are three tiers starting at $499. Higher tiers add the Flight Operations Mastery course, longer quote support, CRM coaching and extended access to the partner tools. Every tier carries a 15-day money-back guarantee, and financing is available through Klarna, Afterpay or in-house plans.
No. Charter brokers are not pilots and no licence, diploma or degree is required to start — the course assumes no prior aviation knowledge and begins from the fundamentals. What the job does require is regulatory literacy, which the programme covers, and comfort with commission-based sales.
You finish as an ABP Certified Charter Broker, awarded after completing the modules, passing the assessments and taking part in the live simulations. It is an industry training certification issued by ABP, not a government licence, because no government licence exists for this role.
Yes. The theory phase is self-paced, so most people fit it around a job. The live simulations are scheduled sessions you need to attend, and they are capped at six people so places are limited. Brokerage itself works best as a full commitment once you start taking clients.
Yes — 15 days, full refund, no conditions attached.
Working brokers and operators, not career trainers. Frédéric Perez brings 30 years in private aviation operations and brokerage, Younes Ezzaki 16 years selling to ultra-high-net-worth clients. Every lesson is written by people who do the job; none of it is AI-generated.
