Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. This is a certification training. Participants who complete the course receive a Certificate of Completion in Georgian and English. The certificate lists the course title, topics, training hours, dates and instructor. The certificate confirms the training you completed; it is not an aviation licence or rating. Our training process follows ISO 9001 quality management principles, and course content draws on published ICAO and EASA material. Whether the certificate meets your organisation's or regulator's training requirements is decided by your employer or the relevant authority. On request, we send the course syllabus and the instructor's CV in advance.

Who teaches the courses?

Training is led by Davit Mazmishvili, Head of the Training Center, who personally holds teacher licences from the Georgian Civil Aviation Agency and airline transport pilot licences (aeroplane and helicopter). On request, we send the CV of the instructor assigned to your course. These are personal qualifications, not an approval of the centre's courses by any authority.
