Progresssion Program

GFT's Career Progression Program is designed spesfically for students at GFT. This program provides you, the student, an opportunity to advance directly to an airline or charter/medevac operation. Once you begin your student career at GFT all these doors will open to you. GFT has already promoted many people to these positions.

The outline below is just that, an outline. GFT has promoted Instructors to our airline division in as little as one month. It will depend largely on the demand and the availability of Instructors.
