CPaT Global Expands Airbus NextGen Training Offering with A320neo Aircraft Systems Course

CPaT Global announces the launch of its NextGen Airbus A320neo Aircraft Systems course. The release extends CPaT’s NextGen approach to another Airbus fleet, providing airlines with additional resources to build scenario-based lessons that support Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) programs. Joining the NextGen A320ceo course, the A320neo course gives Airbus training departments more options for applying a consistent instructional approach across fleet training programs. Focused Microlessons serve as modular building blocks, allowing trainers to organize relevant systems content around operational scenarios and the learning objectives of their airline. “As we expand our NextGen portfolio, we’re helping airlines bring the same flexibility to more of their fleet training programs,” said Capt. Greg Darrow, Vice President of Sales at CPaT Global. “The A320neo course builds on that investment, giving Airbus operators another resource for developing scenario-based lessons that connect systems knowledge with their CBTA training goals.” Realistic visuals powered by CPaT SmartGraphics help pilots understand complex aircraft systems, while the topic-specific course structure supports focused review and targeted reinforcement. These features provide a flexible foundation for initial and recurrent instruction aligned with CBTA, Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), and Evidence-Based Training (EBT) objectives. Following the recent releases of the Boeing 737 MAX and Embraer E2, the A320neo launch marks the next step in CPaT’s ongoing expansion of NextGen Aircraft Systems training. Across its fleet portfolio, CPaT continues to invest in content that enables training teams to connect technical knowledge with operational context.
