If it was a non-degree related course with a certificate of completion, I'd list it under the education section: PT6 familiarization, certificate of completion.

I would do a generic cover letter to whom it may concern

A specific cover letter might be nice - and possibly standout from the rest of the crowd.
If you have a 90% generic cover letter, and you are just able to replace the name of the flight school and reprint - what could it hurt?

We have a generic cover letter to get you started in the downloads section of the APC site. I'd also suggest that you create a database of the schools/contacts that you're targeting. A little homework here can go a long way in terms of being remembered by a prospective employer.

If you don't have a copy of MS Office, you can do the same thing (it's actually easier) with Google Docs....and it's free.

is the mail merge thing just a way to get all your contacts on a spreadsheet?

Kind of, the spread sheet merges contact information into a word document template. It allows you to write one letter and "push" individual contact info into the template.

Bottom line is you write one letter and end up with multiple copies, all with different recipients.
