The Aviation Flight Technology: CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) Certificate is designed to qualify graduates to become flight instructors. This position is a beginning step to becoming a professional pilot.
To succeed in a career as a pilot for a major airline, a candidate must possess a college degree. Many students who already possess an associate and/or a baccalaureate degree can qualify for these competitive positions after they attain their flight credentials and experience. Students without previous college experience can pursue this certificate and then later, if they wish, apply the credits toward the A.A.S. degree in Aviation Flight Technology.
Proof of citizenship or Transportation Security Administration approval is required for enrollment in the Flight program. Before flight training begins, an aviation medical will be required. Contact the Aviation program coordinator for details.
All of the credits earned in this certificate except the flight instructor course apply to the A.A.S. degree in Aviation Flight Technology. Additionally, all of the certificate credits are transferable to the baccalaureate Aviation program at Thomas Edison State College.
