WORKING WHILE BEING A STUDENT

WORKING WITH CFC
Canadian Flight Centre often offers jobs to its Instructor Rating graduates. Some of the current students are also offered other jobs around the school: dispatch, office help, charter pilots etc. However, we do not make any commitments before the beginning of the training, and all hiring decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
CAREER OPTIONS IN CANADA AFTER GRADUATION
If you are looking to continue your flying career in Canada after graduation, there are a few initial options:
• Instructing: If you have a passion for sharing your love of flying with the next generation of pilots, this option might be for you. CFC offers the instructor rating, and even often offers its graduates a position within the school - in our Flight Training or even Charter division. Information on this course can be found HERE.
• More difficult, but not impossible is it to get your first flying job with a local air taxi or charter operator or a regional airline.
• Fresh pilots often find their first aviation jobs in the Canadian North as a “bush pilot”.
