It's very sad, this is what I've been dealing with in S. FL. I would think these training facilities would want to be on the list since these are guaranteed monies from the government, but what do I know...Good luck to all.....
It's not quite that simple. I actually tried to get on the Authorized Training Providers list in the State of Florida and was told that because we weren't located in Florida that our assistance wasn't required. I have run into this issue in other states as well. Some states have flat out told me that they aren't interested in giving money for pilot training right now and would rather focus on industries such as healthcare or teaching. You are right though, the paperwork can be quite lenghty. It varies so much from state to state that it's ridiculous.
That being said, my company is on the list for several other states. If you need some information or maybe just a point in the right direction, please feel free to email me at
