What's Lift Academy all about?

official website
If learning in an environment that’s always on the go and doesn’t look the same day after day appeals to you, then you would love being a LIFT student. Every student’s schedule will look different and will vary by license or rating. Each student’s schedule will also be different based on their time and availability. Briefings will be held with a student’s CFI before and after each flight. Ground training sessions will be held several times a week. Students will also have virtual ground lessons they can complete from home or in groups. Outside official class time, students will have access to their CFIs during their office hours for one-on-one conversations. In addition to official training, LIFT students will be invited to attend professional and leadership development workshops several times throughout the year. Students also have opportunities to engage in community outreach and volunteer opportunities.
