Questions about our programs
Can I start without flight experience?
Yes. ROOKIE is designed for beginners. Our team reviews entry requirements and initial preparation with you.
Can I study English on its own?
Yes. English is an independent program for people within and outside aviation. Its content is shaped by your current level and goals; no license or flight experience is required.
Do programs guarantee a student visa or a job?
No. In eligible programs, an authorized institution may issue Form I-20 after admission; a U.S. embassy or consulate decides the visa application. Practical training and employment depend on program rules, eligibility, authorizations and employer decisions.
When will I know the price and duration?
We confirm the current investment, timing and training components during the meeting, after reviewing your background and program requirements.
