Choosing
Before you pay any institute
How do I choose an aviation institute?
Ask for the fee schedule and refund terms in writing, see the training equipment, check the course length and entry rules, and ask how placement assistance works. Be wary of any promise of a guaranteed job or a fixed salary.
Does any aviation course guarantee a job?

How do I spot a fake airport job offer?
Apply through the recruitment channels published by the employer. Confirm the recruiting company, role, eligibility and application process before you share documents or make any payment.
