NWTC, Aviate launch aviation career program

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and Aviate Flight School have partnered to launch the region’s first Professional Aeronautics Certification program.
The PAC program was intentionally designed to help meet industry demand through focused training aligned to FAA certification requirements. The non-degree program combines classroom instruction, simulation, and flight training through a structured, cohort-based model that prepares students to earn FAA certifications and pursue professional pilot careers.
Students may choose to pair the program with additional coursework or an area of study that complements their aviation training, depending on their career goals. Depending on certification goals and pace, students may complete the program in 12 to 16 months.
Students will split their time training between NWTC’s Green Bay campus and Aviate Flight School’s facility at Austin Straubel International Airport (KGRB
Weekly instruction includes 15–20 hours of classroom learning, one-on-one instruction, simulator training, and aircraft-based experience, preparing students to earn all of FAA certifications to become professional aviators, including:
• Private Pilot License (PPL)
• Instrument Flight Rating (IFR)
• Commercial Pilot License (CPL)
Optionally, students can also earn these additional ratings in the program:
• Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
• Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII), and
• Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI)
