Course Details
The course consists of four main components. It can be delivered full time, part time, or even casually – designed to fit in to your schedule and budget constraints.
Principles and Methods of Instruction (PMI)
PMI is a theory course that looks at how people learn, the best ways to teach, and some of the common difficulties that can arise in the student/instructor relationship and strategies to deal with them. It provides the basis for the rest of the Instructor Rating Course.
Classroom Briefings
This section of the course ensures that your knowledge is up to a professional level and will also improve your presentation skills. Two types of briefings are covered, long briefs and pre-flight briefs.
Instructor Flight Training
There is 20 hours of instructor flight training which is undertaken with a Senior Instructor or the Chief Flying Instructor. During this phase you will be shown how to demonstrate, assist and provide critique to students in all flying sequences from the ab-initio Pilot Certificate sylabus.
At the completion of your course you will be examined and issued your rating directly by the Recreational Aviation (Aust.) federation.
