Instrument Flight Instructor Course
The Accelerated Aviation Educator Course prepares a pilot for Instrument Flight Education. Graduates of our CFI courses are employed throughout the United States at numerous flight schools.
Each day consists of about 7 to 9 hours of CFII flight education. The Accelerated Aviation Educator Course utilizes a syllabus to organize the course, however we are always flexible according to our students’ needs. The day typically begins at 9:00 A.M. and ends at 5:00 P.M. If it is necessary, some lessons may extend into the evening hours. However, we do realize that students learn much better when their basic needs are met, therefore we always allow more than enough time for eating, sleeping, and general relaxation. We urge students to explore Kansas City after a long day of flying in order to unwind from the rigors of accelerated flight training.
Career Pilot School is extremely flexible when it comes to the aircraft used for this course. If you are an aircraft owner, we highly recommend using your own aircraft as it better prepares you for your real world teaching experience upon completion of the course. If you are not an aircraft owner, Career Pilot School offers a Piper Warrior for your use.
The cost of the Accelerated CFI-I Program is $3500 when completed in our Piper Warrior and $1500 when completed in your aircraft. This price includes training materials, flight time up to 16 hours, all flight instruction, unlimited simulator use and all ground instruction. If the course cannot be completed within the hours allotted, the student has the option of paying for extra flight time at a per hour cost. In the rare event that this occurs, there is no additional flight or ground instruction charges. Above prices do not include sales tax, housing or the practical test fee.
