We are currently not accepting applications and resumes for Certified Flight Instructor positions. The next opportunity to apply will be Fall 2026. The specific dates will be posted in August.

Our recruitment process includes a resume and application, 1-hour technical test, 10-minute presentation (teaching a ground lesson) and 1-hour interview.  Applications and resumes are accepted during a specific timeframe and both must be submitted by the deadline to move forward in the process. The technical test is only administered on one evening.  Some candidates will be eliminated from consideration after each round of the process. 

All three rounds (technical test, presentations and interviews) must be completed in person at MTSU’s facilities and are scheduled for different weeks.
