Many of the students at Bristow Academy want to take the maximum training possible to give them a true competitive advantage. Furthermore, they want to maximize the benefit they receive for the money they spend. For this reason, Bristow Academy has developed the Professional Pilot Program, a comprehensive curriculum of ground and flight instruction designed for the serious student with little or no flight experience.

This challenging program is tailored to each student's career ambitions, and will provide the training and flight experience required to complete most or all of the following courses:

By mixing and matching the above courses, Bristow Academy can give you more training at little additional expense. For example, by completing your instrument rating prior to the commercial examination you will save money. This is because those hours will count towards the 150 hours required for your commercial certificate. Although many pilots find gainful employment without completing all facets of this comprehensive program, the advantages to the Professional Pilot Program graduate when applying for jobs are significant. Employers appreciate the skills and depth of experience acquired through this training.
