Become a professional instructor and add instrument‑instruction privileges. Our Part 141 program integrates on‑site ground school, lesson plan development, and right‑seat flight training with stage checks to prepare you for the FOI, CFI, and CFII tests.
Get Started / Ask a QuestionCFI (Airplane) authorizes you to teach VFR primary and commercial students; CFII adds the privilege to teach instrument students under IFR. Many candidates complete CFI first, then add CFII shortly after.
Training Locations:
Miami, Florida • Corona (Los Angeles), California • Van Nuys (Los Angeles), California
CFI & CFII • Ground & Flight
