Get teaching-ready fast. Our intensive CFI program fills a real gap for commercial pilots who want to start instructing and building hours toward ATP without months of waiting.
The Accelerated CFI program combines concentrated ground school with focused flight training. You’ll cover teaching methods, lesson planning, FAA regulations, and in-flight instruction techniques in a structured daily schedule.
This program is gaining traction fast, even without advertising, because it fills a real gap for commercial pilots who want to start instructing quickly. To keep instruction quality high, each class is capped at 10 students.
You must hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate with Instrument Rating and have completed the FOI (Fundamentals of Instructing) and FIA (Flight Instructor Airplane) written exams. This is the natural next step after the High Gear program or equivalent commercial training.
After earning your CFI, add CFII (Instrument Instructor) and MEI (Multi-Engine Instructor) to maximize your qualifications and hourly earning potential while building time toward airline minimums.
