Becoming a Certificated Flight Instructor In the Airline Career Pilot Program
For six weeks, students complete the flight instructor stage of the Airline Career Pilot Program and become Certificated Flight Instructors (CFI). Training starts at home with two weeks of instructor-led interactive virtual ATP Elevate ground school. Students then travel to one of ATP's flight instructor stage locations, where they learn the fundamentals of instruction from ATP's senior instructor group. Students prepare for their flight instructor practical test with a combination of online learning, group study, and flight lessons.
Becoming a CFI allows you to begin earning an income in your new career as a pilot while you gain the flight experience needed to meet airline minimums.
Nationally Awarded & Recognized Instructors
ATP Flight School instructors set the industry standard for professional airline-oriented flight training. The quality and professionalism of ATP instructors have been consistently recognized by AOPA and the National Association of Flight Instructors.
