You can also choose to become certified as a flight instructor at the end of your degree.

After looking at a number of flight schools, I decided to enroll in TSTC's aviation program because it offered the most affordable and high-quality instruction. I was impressed by the level of professionalism displayed by the facility and its employees. Thanks to the exceptional training I received, I am now proud to be working as an aviation instructor at TSTC.
