Certified Flight Instructor

Teach the world to master the skies

As you progress forward in your aviation career, you may consider becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) to build flight time quickly. Training others to fly is a challenging and rewarding experience that brings to bear all you have learned during your own flight training. Instructors share knowledge, experience, and insight with their students. For most pilots, it is the first job that earns them a paycheck while flying.

Revv Aviation also offers an Accelerated CFI Course designed for aspiring pilots who want to earn their instructor certification quickly and efficiently. To learn more about our Accelerated Program call Cameron Turner, CFII, at 630-466-7000 or email [email protected]

At Revv Aviation, we’ll teach you everything you need to become a Certified Flight Instructor. The process will require you to improve basic flying skills, master advanced flight maneuvers, and demonstrate to an FAA approved examiner that you can. Effectively teach others. Over time, you will become a very knowledgeable and skilled pilot who is privileged to train and endorse other pilots.

Becoming a CFI requires a significant investment so be sure to ask us about payment options to help you along the way.
