Hello Yeasin,
Our main campus is located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, USA, where we welcome international and domestic students for training. We also have additional training locations across the United States, but these are currently limited to U.S. students only.
For the visa process, Epic will issue your I-20 form once you have submitted your application and paid the application fee. You will then use this document to apply for the M-1 student visa at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your country. Please note that while Epic provides the required documentation and guidance, the U.S. Embassy is the authority that approves and issues the visa.

At Epic Flight Academy, we only offer pilot training and aircraft mechanic training. We do not offer a diesel mechanic course or any online diesel programs.
Unfortunately, we do not offer an air hostess or cabin crew course. Our programs are focused on pilot training and aircraft mechanic certification.
Hello Jay,
Yes, we do have housing spots available for new students starting in June. However, since availability is limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend reserving your housing as soon as your enrollment is confirmed. You can also email us directly at [email protected].

Hello Ahmedyassin,
Thank you for participating in our forum!
To begin the visa application process, you must first apply and be officially accepted into our program. Once accepted and your $775 application fee is paid, we will issue your official acceptance letter and the required I-20 document to support your M-1 visa application.
Regarding payment plans, please note:
We do not offer post-employment payment options, and full program financing is not available directly through Epic.
However, we allow pay-as-you-go training, meaning you are only required to pay for the training you complete each week.
We recommend that international students come prepared with sufficient funding for tuition and living expenses, as U.S. immigration policies require proof of financial support.
You may explore third-party options or personal loans in your home country. We also offer suggestions for international student financing here: https://epicflightacademy.com/flight-school-financing-international
