Take Your Abilities To The Next Level
As you progress as a Flight Instructor and your experience grow, so too should your knowledge and your ability to teach. It’s also important for you to take on additional responsibilities, and be able to endorse and approve critical student pilot training steps. Completing Grade 1 and 2 Training Endorsements will take your Flight Instructor abilities to the next level.
Expand Your Flight Instructor Role
You can approve first solo flights and conduct flight reviews for ratings when you become a Grade 2 Flight Instructor. In addition, you can also assess Knowledge Deficiency Reports for licence and rating grants, and grant endorsements on RPLs. A Grade 1 Training Endorsement expands on that even further, allowing you to supervise Grade 2 and Grade 3 instructors when they conduct flight training. Schedule a meeting with one of our aviation career specialists to discuss whether this is the right course for you.

Our Graduate
Clement Suen“The Grade 2 Training Endorsements cover advanced Flight Instructor concepts and responsibilities like sending a student solo for the first time. Grade 1 and 2 instructors are expected to explain concepts more clearly and in greater depth. The LTF courses are interactive, with experienced instructors providing support and valuable feedback to help me improve my briefing skills, which then helps my teaching.”
