I instructed at Aeroguard from September 2018-February 2020 and left for an airline shortly before covid got bad. Taught all foreign cadets but their program is much more structured and they now partner with Liberty University and operate as a 141 school for US students. Don’t know how things are going there now but from what I understand if you complete the program they will offer you a job instructing after. Prior to covid they had 90-100 instructors and 400-500 students. From a few contacts I still have left there, there about about 20 instructors. Many were laid off following covid. No new foreign students and the only hiring happening is from graduating students. If you want the contact info of the recruiter let me know. Any other questions you have feel free to send me a pm.
Quite the multi-level marketing scheme going on. Has anyone actually run the numbers before diving into this.
"So we will train you up, and when youre done all you need to do is find 7 trainees and you can vecome an instructor here. Then when each of them are done training they can become instructors after finding 7 more new trainees of their own.....and so it goes".
Getting trained by the least qualified in the industry to do so.
