Take Flight With Yavapai College
Yavapai College is the premier place to begin a rewarding career in professional aviation. The Aerospace Science Airplane Operations degree allows you to earn private, instrument, commercial, multi-engine, and flight instructor certificates and ratings. In as few as six semesters, you will have the required certificates and experience to begin a career as a commercial pilot.
Yavapai College offers several competitive advantages. Our goal is to help you complete the program as quickly and affordably as possible. Compared to four-year aviation training programs, our curriculum allows you to complete training in approximately half the time and up to 60% less financial investment.
Compared to local flight training providers, you will earn a valuable degree that will help you earn leadership or management positions at your chosen company. While many schools charge you $60 per hour or more for “instructor time”, we only charge you what the flight instructor is getting paid. In our program, the student saves at least $20 per instructor flight hour compared to other schools.
Starting your aviation career at Yavapai College, whether you recently graduated high school, are transitioning out of a military career, or hoping to change your career path, allows you to begin your career in a healthier financial position while accruing essential experience and seniority to advance your career.
All we ask in return is that you bring your passion, excitement, curiosity, commitment, and hard work!
VA Approval for Funding
The flight program, including both ground and flight training, is VA-approved under 14 CFR Part 61 and military veterans can use their benefits to pay for both academic courses and flight training. Please contact the Yavapai College Veterans Education and Transition Services for more information.
