Recognised for being a leading provider of EASA-aligned aviation eLearning, Sofema Online (SOL) has unveiled the Prepay Bonus Plan (PBP)   a simple, contract-light, plug-and-play initiative that enables organisations to extend their training budgets by up to 25%, without additional memberships, programmes, or complicated contracts.

What is the PBP?

The Sofema Online Prepay Bonus Plan lets organisations pre-purchase training credits and receive a tiered bonus on top - no special conditions, no prerequisite schemes. Credits can be used across SOL’s 400+ courses, packages, and diplomas, allowing teams to enrol immediately and manage competence development at scale.

• •  Tiered savings: The higher the prepayment, the bigger the bonus (up to 25%).
• •  Clear value example: Prepay €4,000 and receive €5,000 in training value.
• •  Instant utility: Credits are available right away for enrolment by your nominated admin(s).
• •  Zero friction: Works with your existing procurement flow - no additional contracts beyond the standard SOL terms.

“The PBP gives training managers a clean, CFO-friendly lever: more training from the same budget, starting today. No hoops to jump through - just credits, a bonus, and immediate access to our full catalogue,” said Steve Bentley, FRAeS, CEO of Sofema.

Why Organisations Choose PBP:

• •  Budget uplift, day one: Up to 25% more purchasing power for competence programmes.
• •  Simplicity: One prepayment → bonus applied → credits ready. No extra paperwork.
• •  Flexibility: Use credits for any SOL course, package, or diploma - mix roles, sites, and timelines.
• •  Speed: Enrol staff the same day; align with audits, approvals, onboarding, or project milestones.
• •  Control: Centralise spend, track usage, and align credit drawdown with your training plan.

Where PBP Shines (Use Cases):

• •  Annual training plans: Lock in savings for the year; schedule waves by department (e.g., Part-145, Part-CAMO, 21J).
• •  Audit & approval readiness: Rapidly close competence gaps ahead of audits or new approvals without case-by-case POs.
• •  Onboarding surges: Equip new hires and transferees with baseline regulatory training fast.
• •  Structured pathways: Fund multi-course journeys (e.g., Reliability, Safety/SMS, Auditing, Cybersecurity) without piecemeal billing.
• •  Grant or project budgets: Convert a fixed grant into maximum learning value with transparent cost/benefit.

How it’s Implemented (No Additional Contract Complications):

1. Choose your prepay amount.
2. Receive tiered bonus credits (up to 25% uplift).
3. Assign an internal admin. We enable enrolment access for your nominated coordinator(s).
4. Start enrolling immediately. Draw down credits as you go—no extra agreements or memberships required.
5. Monitor & report. We provide usage transparency to support finance and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• •  Any programme prerequisites? None. The PBP is open to all organisations.
• •  Expiry or restrictions? Credits are applied to your account and used like standard SOL purchases across our catalogue.*
• • Can we combine with other SOL options later? Yes - PBP works perfectly alongside other solutions if your needs evolve.
