6. Safe driving and safe flying record*Are there any specialized training tracks available within the program, such as for different types of commercial aviation roles?
– Our flight training courses are the leading Part 141 and Part 61 FAA-approved Professional Pilot courses. Courses provide structure and rigorous training standards that lead to your FAA licenses and certificates. These are recognized globally by all Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA). We prepare our students for professional pilot positions, regardless of the country where they intend to pursue their careers. FAA-approved flight courses are the key to worldwide pilot career opportunities. All airlines require English proficiency.*What support services or resources are available to assist with job placement after completing the program?
– Hiring is ultimately up to the efforts of the individual. Many Epic students from outside of the US will return to their home country to seek employment once they have completed their pilot training at Epic Flight Academy. Every airline has its own set of hiring requirements, and we encourage our students to review a particular airline’s hiring requirements before applying for a First Officer or Captain position.Here is an article on hiring requirements for airlines around the world: https://epicflightacademy.com/commercial-airline-hiring-requirements/
*How flexible is the program in terms of scheduling and accommodating individual student needs?
– There are mandatory ground school classes that vary by course and those take place at various times Monday-Friday. For the flight training portion as a full-time student, you would be scheduled at least twice a day, five days per week. Flight training can take place Monday-Sunday depending on the days your instructor works. Our flight schedule is built daily and posted for students for the following day.*What are the program’s safety protocols and procedures?
– Our safety record is second to none. We are a Cessna Service Center, with our own certified technicians who pride themselves on top notch service and attention to detail. This means we always put safety first. If you walk through our maintenance hangar, you will see Epic planes in for scheduled maintenance, as well as those of private pilots and other flight schools who use our service.*Are there any opportunities for internships or partnerships with airlines during or after the program?
– Unfortunately, we do not have an internship program here at Epic.*Can you explain the cost structure of the program and if *there are any financial aid options available?
