With 80 years of aviation excellence, safety and progress Cessna is the worlds leader in general aviation. Choosing to train at a Cessna Pilot Center (CPC) is the best decision any student pilot can make. Cessna Pilot Centers are required to meet and maintain extremely high standards of operations in both safety and training. Cessna Pilot Center advantages include: Cessna's Computer Based Instruction (CBI) is aviation's only standardized integrated curriculum that delivers training consistently worldwide with Private, Instrument and Commercial courses available. Exclusive access to the only computer-based student record management system that tracks progress of pilots every step of the way. Instruction in new and well maintained Cessna Aircraft. Faster completion times and higher success rates which saves money and produces better pilots. Exclusive student loan programs that can make learning to fly affordable on a modest budget. Up to 50 College Credit hours though Mountain State University With all of the Cessna support behind each CPC, such as special aircraft financing and insurance, global marketing programs, field-based seminars, and training managers, its little wonder that more people have learned to fly at CPC's than anywhere else.
