OVERVIEW

About this program.

Achieving a Flight Instructor Rating and Grade 3 Endorsement test allows you to instruct someone for specific pilot authorisations. This qualification reflects the roles of individuals delivering training and assessment services usually within aviation Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) or flight training organisations. The addition of this rating to your licence is required if you wish to work as a Flight Instructor. It can also be a beneficial rating within the Airline Check and Training Career pathway.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will gain the necessary aeronautical skill, knowledge and experience to meet the requirements of a CASA Flight Instructor Rating and Grade 3 Endorsement (IR) with an Aeroplane Category.

Articulation agreements with Griffith University and Southern Cross University allow students to combine the CPL/MEIR with academic studies and obtaining a Bachelor Degree.
