Whether you are preparing to begin Class IV training, already working with a Class I Instructor, or trying to fill gaps in your current program, this course gives you the foundational knowledge every instructor candidate needs in a structured, self-paced format with real Class I instructor support.

Across nine focused lessons, you will build a practical understanding of flight instruction, including the PERRIER learning factors, PGI planning, oral questioning techniques, in-flight teaching, post-flight fault analysis, and effective debriefing. Assignments throughout the course help you apply what you are learning, and a qualified Class I Instructor will review your work and provide personalized feedback.

This course is not a replacement for formal Class IV training. It is designed to make that training more effective by giving you a stronger foundation before and during the rating process.

Completing the course qualifies you for a 5-hour Ground School Certificate from Level Flight, which can be added to your Pilot Training Record.

It is ideal for pilots preparing to start their Class IV Instructor Rating, candidates already in training who want structured reference material, or anyone who wants to build real instructional skills before fully committing to the rating.
