Course structure

The Class Rating Instructor (CRI) Course is designed for pilots who want to obtain the authorisation to provide instruction on a specific aircraft class rating. With this qualification, you’ll be able to conduct training for the issue, renewal, or revalidation of single-pilot aircraft class ratings (excluding High Performance Aircraft). The programme, delivered in line with EASA standards and approved by ENAC, is tailored for professional pilots aiming to specialise as instructors on a particular class of aircraft – expanding both their expertise and career opportunities within aviation.
