To ensure you receive proper training and can complete your flight courses on time, we've established an Aviation Selection Board. This board will review all applications for our flight program courses and select candidates to begin flight training two months before the semester registration opens for your desired start date.

Below is a list of requirements. For more information, please contact the department at ctc.aviation@ctcd.edu.
