Class Schedules/Breaks/Program or term start Dates 

Flight is not like other school or Universities, we do not have class schedules, Breaks schedules, Program Schedules, Term or Start Date.  Other than Ground School (Tuesday and Saturday in the evening 7PM to 9 PM) the rest have no schedules.  The Flight Training are One-On-One, students are assign an instructor and the students are encourage to book the time with their instructor a week ahead of the time they wish to have the lesson.

Education/Program Assistance

At the time a student enrollment, a staff or an instructor will go over all the programs that are available and what are the schedule for some program and assigne an instructor to the student.  We try to match the student with the instructor best of the student, but at time this may not work out and the student can request an instructor change.

Language Requirements (Note, this Language Requirements is all the program we offered)

The language level requirements must include language level tests that are recognized internationally (e.g., Canadian Language Benchmarks, International English Language Testing Service (IELTS)) and are conducted by a reputable third party. The language requirement for each program must be at a sufficient level for the student to converse and understand the level and complexity of the educational materials to ensure the students' success in the program.

This means all programs at International Flight Centre need to have an actual minimum English language proficiency requirement which is measurable. The Private Training Regulation also now requires minimum English language proficiency. I have attached the Private Training Institutions Regulatory Unit's language proficiency requirements guide. It will be required for International Flight Centre to implement an appropriate minimum requirement.

Below is the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills

Language Proficiency Requirements (LPR) 

1. What are Language Proficiency Requirements, and why are they important?
Language proficiency requirements (LPR) are a part of a program's admission requirements to ensure students have a reasonable level of language proficiency to make it likely that they will successfully complete the program.
Language requirements should be at a sufficient level for the student to understand and discuss, in speech and in writing, the level and complexity of the educational materials. All applicants, regardless of their citizenship status or country of origin, must demonstrate an appropriate level of language proficiency.

2. What should language proficiency requirements include?

For Class A and Class B career programs, an institution must use at least one of the following options as a language proficiency statement and may use additional options that establish an equal or higher standard.
Based on a review of the curriculum, resources and learning objectives, the Registrar may determine that the minimum standards noted below are not sufficient and require a higher language proficiency requirement for entry into a program.

Option 1 Evidence that 3 years of full-time secondary education (Grades 8-12), or 2 years if the Grades are 10, 11, or 12, have been successfully completed in the program's language of instruction in a country where the language of instruction is one of the principal languages.

This may be demonstrated by providing a high school transcript, completion of a BC Adult Graduation program or providing international education credentials recognized through WES, ICES, or IQAS.

Option 2 2 years of full-time post-secondary education* have been completed in the program's language of instruction in a country where the language of instruction is one of the principal languages (includes international education credentials recognized through WES, ICES, and IQAS).

*Language development courses (i.e., ELL courses) cannot be included in this calculation.

Option 3 Where English is the program's language of instruction, evidence of achievement in a recognized standardized language test/assessment* at an overall level equivalent to IELTS 5.5 (academic) or higher.
o All accepted language tests/assessments must be listed with a minimum score/level specified for each. ‘Or equivalent' will not be accepted.
o Language tests must include assessments of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

*Institutions are not permitted to use in-house (self-developed) language assessments. Unless otherwise approved by the registrar, institutions are expected to utilize standardized language tests that are well established and broadly accepted across the sector (both public and private BC post-secondary institutions). See Section 4. Standardized English language test/assessments for more information.

Option 4 Evidence of graduation from language program with a minimum grade/level from a Languages Canada accredited institution with an established pathway/articulation agreement allowing direct entry (no further testing required) to a diploma or degree program at a public institution in Canada. The pathway/articulation agreement must be current at the date of enrolment.

When considering pathway options, institutions are reminded that they must be ready to provide documentary evidence of a current pathway/articulation agreement between the partner institutions at any time (i.e., a copy of the agreement, or a dated screenshot referring to the partnership from a partner institution's website which is included in the student's record). For this reason, we strongly recommend that institutions only include a pathway agreement as part of their LPR that is established with their own institution.

Documentation of the student's graduation from the pathway program must also be included in the student's record.

Option 5 Evidence that a language standard defined and accepted by a third-party regulator has been met.

This may include minimum language standards or testing options set by a third-party regulator (e.g., Health Colleges, Public Registries, Transport Canada, etc.).

Option 6 Important note: this option may only be applied when:
o English is the program's language of instruction, and
o the applicant is a mature domestic student facing barriers,
o the applicant cannot access their educational records or cannot provide sufficient evidence of secondary or post-secondary education as outlined in this policy

Accuplacer: Applicant is [X] years or older at the start of the program and is a Canadian citizen or
Permanent resident, and

Applicant provides attestation that they have completed at least three years of full-time
instruction in English* in a country where the English is one of the principal languages, and

Applicant completes an Accuplacer English Assessment (Next Generation: Reading, Writing and WritePlacer) and achieves the following minimum scores:
o Reading: 230, and
o Writing: 230, and
o WritePlacer: 4

*Language development courses (i.e., ELL courses) cannot be included in this calculation. Accuplacer
may not be used to demonstrate that a student meets an admission requirement other than language
proficiency. For example, Accuplacer may not be used to demonstrate that a student meets a Math 11
admission requirement.
