We are the training institution of choice for professional and amateur pilots
Our focus is on preparing pilots for a career in aviation through high-quality training with a no-compromise attention to safety. Unlike other schools which teach to the minimum standards where students "graduate" without real-world experience, we provide complete training that builds confidence and makes our graduates job-ready. For amateur pilots, complete training provides the confidence to undertake any of the exciting challenges aviation has to offer from long international cross country trips to IFR operations at major airports.
Our programs range from basic ratings for amateur pilots, which can be studied at a leisurely pace, to professional programs which require full-time study for up to 18 months. Through partner institutions, we can provide college diplomas. We can provide training for any license and rating from the private pilot's license to float plane and commercial multi-engine IFR. Beyond the licenses and ratings, we build confidence with trips to distant locations where students get to learn from other experienced pilots and fly to a variety of airports across North America.
