The Excel program offers graduates the technical skills required by today's airline employers combined with a college diploma. This program strikes a balance between the full bachelor's program and the One-Year Challenge program; ideal for students with no prior university education. Excel program participants are exposed to many of the core courses required in the degree programs, providing a solid foundation in both flying skills and business theory.
The two-year program consists of flight theory; airmanship courses; simulator and aircraft training, which includes the commercial pilot licence training; advanced training generally including multi-engine and instrument ratings; and an optional flight instructor rating. |
