Aviation Management & Pilot Training Diploma Program

Program Overview

The pursuit of flight is a dream common to many, but a career as a professional pilot can seem daunting. Despite this misconception, becoming a pilot is easier and more accessible than what most people believe.

Canada is one of the frontrunners in pilot training with a large aviation community including over “60,000 pilots flying 30,000 aircraft from 2,000 airports and aerodromes” (Canadian Owners & Pilots Association (COPA) 2016).

With a global pilot shortage emerging in the near future, this is the perfect time to start training towards the career of a lifetime. Make your dream come true with our 2-year Aviation Management & Pilot Training Diploma program.
