Skyborne Airline Academy Vero Beach is launching its Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) Distance Learning programme, enabling trainees in India to remotely start their journey to becoming an airline pilot.
The theoretical knowledge package is offered through SKYWORX, Skyborne’s educational division. Trainees will complement self-study with live tutor-led sessions from Skyborne’s instructors using Padpilot technology, preparing them for their DGCA CPL theory exams. The SKYWORX DGCA Distance Learning programme consists of 15 weeks of online tutoring and self-study, followed by a three-week exam preparation phase at Capt Sahil Khurana Aviation Academy (CSKAA) in New Delhi. Upon completion of the final course exams, trainees can choose from a range of flight training options at Skyborne’s Vero Beach base in the United States.
Ian Cooper, Chief Operating Officer, Skyborne, says: “The Indian aviation market is significant, and we believe the country will continue to see a growing demand for well-trained pilots throughout Covid-19 recovery. Our SKYWORX DGCA Distance Learning programme enables trainees to stay one step ahead of their peers as airlines in India restart recruitment.
“We also aim to bring a human touch to remote learning through an interactive and accessible training package to give our trainees the best possible start to their aviation career.”
This is the second online offering from Skyborne after it launched its UKCAA ATPL Theoretical Knowledge Distance Learning course in October 2020. The SKYWORX DGCA Distance Learning programme is recognised by airlines across India, including the country’s largest airline, IndiGo.
