The Delta Aircrew Training Center operated by Delta Professional Services (DPS) received authority to offer the FAA-required ATP-CTP course in May of 2016. Our course is in full compliance with 14 CFR 61.156.  We offer an immersion into the inner workings of a major domestic and international airline operating under 14 CFR 121.  Over 6,300 pilots have completed our ATP-CTP course.
