Check out what some of our program graduates have to say...

"The training I received at SIFC prepared me with the knowledge and skills I needed to find employment in the Aviation industry. I graduated from the Commercial Aviation Diploma program in 2006 at the top of my class and was employed at SIFC as a Flight Instructor. I soon found employment with Alberta Central Airways flying medevac and charter flights on King Airs, where I upgraded quickly to Captain. The CAD program taught me what I needed to know to make it through the selection process at Air Canada Jazz, where I currently fly a Dash 8. I highly recommend training at SIFC to get a solid start on a professional career in aviation."

 - Cameron Hanson, Pilot, Air Canada Jazz

"Looking back on my training at Southern Interior Flight Center is a place I would return in a heart beat. I remember starting off with cadets going for my first flight ever in a private airplane, It was amazing. The inspiring pilot let me take the controls my first time being up in the cockpit of and airplane. Right from that moment I knew this was for me! As I grew old enough I returned to Southern Interior to challenge myself in a difficult and rewarding accomplishment. I proceeded to undergo my commercial training which was a milestone in my life! Sounds like quiet the success story, but really I have to take my hat off to the flight school. To myself I believe SIFC has outstanding staff that will do what ever it takes to help anyone learn and grow into this small family called aviation. I can't stress enough how much this school has done for me when I was struggling through my own training. It was if the instructors took you under their own wings and treated you as apart of a big family. Now a graduate of the Commercial Aviation Diploma, I look back and remember all the great times I had wishing I could repay SIFC for what they have done for me. I have been out working for about 2 years now and have already made a name for my former flight school. I am now Chief Pilot of a 702 operation hiring pilots that were in my position 2 years ago, and I would never hesitate to accept a resume from pilots that have trained at SIFC!

I can say that if your looking into a career in aviation or just recreationally, make a point to drop in at SIFC. Fly  Safe"

"I can look back to a very interesting three months in Kelowna. I have really enjoyed my stay at SIFC. You have a great bunch of people which made my stay very amusing. Woody did a great job! It was fun flying with him (even in heavy turbulence…)."

- Markus Willisch, Private Pilot, Switzerland

  "One of the many things I like about SIFC was the welcoming atmosphere from all the instructors. I believe that it helped me work towards my goal.  After completing my instructor rating I got a job in Grande Prairie, Alberta"

- Ryan Croteau, Instructor, Adventure Aviation Inc.

"All instructors at SIFC are knowledgable, friendly and helpful.  The Flight School Director was resourceful for finding financial assistance.  Good weather and well maintained aircraft provide a great experience overall."

- Geza Kende, Private Pilot, Commercial Student

  "To say that I was thrilled with the training by the SIFC Team goes without saying. The staff was courteous and professional from the time I submitted my application to the time I walked out of the flight school for the last time. The training given provided me with the knowledge, wisdom, experience, and ability to comfortably deal with almost any situation: simulated, or actual. The aircraft were well maintained, and well suited for training from basic lessons, to advanced maneuvers. I feel confident that the training provided by SIFC will expand my career, and last until the day it ends! My personal thanks go out to all of the staff!"

- Brandon Simunac, Commercial Aviation Diploma Graduate

  "Besides very knowledgeable staff with real world experience, S.I.F.C provides another great training environment with its location.  With good year round weather, mountain flying experience, lack of congestion from other training schools you are able to focus primarily on training.  The airport is an added benefit with good tower staff, a large runway and enough commercial traffic to get a feel of what larger airports are like."

- Charles Lamb, Commercial Aviation Diploma / Instructor Graduate
