I guess it's called a prep course. I'm not really sure though. But that's not the point of this. haha
Just curious for those that took it do you put it on your resume? And if so what exactly do you put down? I've been wondering about this but think it may look awkward on my resume. But then again how are the regionals, who'll lower their mins for you, know you did it unless you put it on there?
Feel free to send me a PM if you don't want to post up on here.
Thanks.

 

sure there are plenty of people who'd feel flattered to post on here, but they won't be posting nice comments.

To get it out of the way, what are the regionals "who are lowering minimums" for people with CRJ training actually lowering these minimums to? is it, CRJ training course, and we'll provide you a private, commercial, and multi-engine ticket, along with your CL-60 SIC TYPE?

a few years ago I had a buddy take a CRJ course to help him get a job, and it worked. hiring minimums were a little higher 3 years ago however, he ended up at ASA, but instead of the CRJ, got the ATR, but had a flying job because something made him stand out on the resume' amongst the million other 1000 hr/ 100 multi guys.

If you've taken the course, i'd put it on a resume'. I highly doubt it'll hurt you in the future, will most likely help you get a job, despite what everyone will probably say. Same time, i think if given the choice on spending several thousand dollars on multi time building, or a CRJ/ERJ familiarization course, the money would be much better spent on real world flying experience, as opposed to "AWESOME COUPLED ILS APPROACHES DOWN TO MINIMUMS....IN A SIM!".

 

Two options. You can add it under your certificates and ratings or stick it under a separate "aviation training" header:

Example 1:

CERTIFICATES AND RATINGS:

Commercial Pilot, Single/Multi-engine Land, Instrument Airplane
Certified Flight Instructor, Single/Multi-engine Airplane, Instrument
CRJ Procedures and Standardization Familiarization Course (ERAU-Daytona), May 2007.

Example 2:

AVIATION TRAINING:

CRJ Procedures and Standardization Familiarization Course (ERAU-Daytona), May 2007.
High Altitude Training / Chamber Flights (FAA- OKC), March 04
Advanced Crew Resource Management (Flight Safety-ICT), January 95

 

Yeah I just added it under my certificates and ratings

Actually my Jet Course, done in a CL-65 sim, was very helpful. Almost all of the flying was hand flown, got lots of work on SOPs and CRM. Plus moving from a single engine prop job to a regional jet is a huge transition, and the regionals will gladly want to take someone who already has prior experience, and training will be a lot easier for you too

 

Great thanks! That's what i'm looking for. I was thinking about putting it at the bottom of my Certificates and Ratings section but it's not really a certificate or rating. So that's why i thought it wouldn't look right. And also would you put the time in the FTD under your total flight times? Because that was 20hrs worth. Maybe like, CRJ-200 FTD..............20
I tried to add the section of my resume with my flight experience on it but it keeps getting reformatted. So whatever...
But the Aviation Training wouldn't really work. One i don't any room left on my resume and two i don't really have any other "specific" training. I did get a high altitude endorsement from the CRJ course but i doubt that matters. And i took a CRM class here at school.

 

Yeah i agree i think it helped out a lot. And will help me out even more when i go to training when i decide to go to an airline. Although i'm not in a rush right now, i have to still try and sell my house and i'll just continue to flight instruct.

 

I literally feel that at the regional i got hired at, the interview was almost a forgone conclusion, and all I really had to do was pass the sim ride, which was done in a CRJ simulator so for me having the Jet Course time and experience made the sim ride a walk in the park.

 

I say it doesn't really matter. If you meet mins. you will get an interview and all recruitment departments are very much in tune to what type of training is going on at different learning facilities. Be sure and talk about how that course sets you apart from other apllicants! If you choose to put it on youre resume, it does not belong with ratings. This can be missleading to someone looking at your resume. I think it belongs in the ackomplishments or certificates (whatever you want to call it) part of your resume.

 

Why would you waste your money on one of these when you will get trained in the aircraft you are hired into anyway? The only jet training I would consider buying myself would be a 737 type.

 

Well my Jet Course cost was 50% off for being an employee of the school, plus it got me the lower minimums at the regional i applied for saving me a two months of more hassle instructing unmotivated students
