Our Career Pilot Aviation with Applied Human Factors Diploma includes all licenses, ratings and the student graduates with an Aviation Diploma too.

Accepted Answer

The program is designed to educate students for a successful pilot career, developing the required skill sets for flight crew operating in multi-crew, advanced aircraft, and airline operations. The program uses scenario-based situations with intensive training in both aircraft and advanced flight simulation equipment to provide the knowledge and skills you need to obtain a Private Pilot License (PPL), a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and a (frozen) Airline Transport Pilot License.
Notes:
 • To apply for the Transport Canada issued Private Pilot License (PPL) applicants must be no less than 17 years old.
 • To apply for the Transport Canada issued Commercial Pilot License (CPL) applicants must be no less than 18 years old.
 • All students must have proven English language proficiency. Enhanced proficiency levels, that exceed conversational English, is vitally important as students must be able to communicate effectively with (*) Nav Canada staff in the control tower, report their intentions, understand and follow Nav Canada instructions.
