Flight Instructors

“Continuing as an instructor pilot after graduation helped me cement the lessons learned in school and better prepare for a career with an airline. Embry-Riddle’s training style, policies and more made my transition much less daunting – of course you’re going to study a lot of new material, but I was able to relate much of it to my time here.”

We offer students an opportunity to log the 1,000 hours required to earn their ATP rating as a certified flight instructor right here at Embry-Riddle – not to mention a two-year scholarship to do so. As a result, our graduates begin regional training far more prepared than their counterparts.
