The total cost of the Organization’s tuition fees for the AEGEAN approved training programme totals 15.000 €. This amount is covered and paid as follows:
- Candidate: 1,000€ payment at the start of the Program and the remaining amount will be paid in monthly instalments to be repaid over 4 years.
- AEGEAN: 7,500 € as a scholarship to the candidate payable directly to the Organization in three (3) instalments. The disbursement of this amount will be made in stages and will depend on the progress and in any case successful completion of the specified stages of the training by the candidate, at the discretion of the Organization and in accordance with its rules.
- In any case, candidates must be able to justify how they will cover the cost of studies in excess of the above scholarship amount of 7,500€.

The configuration of the syllabus in cooperation with the Training Organization, together with the participation in the related costs required for the training of the candidates, is intended to enable the candidates to complete the training of aircraft engineers and to acquire the necessary qualifications for the exercise of this profession within the AEGEAN Group's workforce, in accordance with the Group's needs.

The same criteria apply in the event that the candidate has received training or examination in the subject in question at another educational institution.
The obligations will be further specified in the written agreements to be drawn up at the final selection stage of the candidates as indicated above.
