Testimonials
Attending Flight Training College was an incredible experience and I’m proud to say I’ve now earned my Private Pilot’s License thanks to their exceptional training. From day one, the instructors and staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my success. Their passion for aviation and dedication to student growth made every lesson both engaging and educational.
The training aircraft were well maintained, and safety was always the top priority. The structured curriculum, combined with hands on experience and simulator sessions, gave me the confidence and skills I needed to become a competent pilot. The instructors were patient and thorough, ensuring I was fully prepared for both my check-ride and real world flying.
Looking back on my journey, I couldn’t have chosen a better flight school...
I arrived at FTC and I was very nervous of what to expect because it was a completely different town with people I didn't know - but from the moment I arrived at FTC I was greeted with open arms and made to feel welcome and like I had been there always and was part of the FTC family for years.
All the staff are so friendly they are willing to help you with anything and everything. This made the transition extremely comfortable, and I settled in well.
The Flight Training at FTC is very good. The standard is high.
The instructors know what they are doing at no point did I ever leave the premises of FTC without learning something new, the knowledge of Oom Louis and Uncle Walter is just amazing. They were hands-on and approachable and always willing to answer my many questions...
My experience at Flight Training College in George from April to august 2024, where I completed my Commercial Pilot License, was nothing short of exceptional. FTC is one big family, and each person is treated accordingly. The staff and Instructors at FTC were not only professional, respectful and patient, but also incredibly kind and helpful. Their support and guidance made me feel confident and well-prepared every step of the way.
Each day at FTC was a new learning opportunity and I am grateful for the experience that helped me to grow both personally and professionally. What stood out to me the most was the dedication of the Instructors, who share their vast knowledge and experience with the students, with the student’s success and safety as their highest priority...
Hi FTC, Just a short note to say thanks to a great team !
I started my training with you, and have used you for my renewals ever since. My last trip, was a great experience. From booking my test - to completing it - was an absolute pleasure ! I was contacted before to say who was testing me, told to give a call an hour before (to get a weather check). When I arrived I was introduced to the instructor, Terrence, by liason officer (Luis, I think) - given a briefing on what we would be doing and told about the current CAA requirements. From the time I started doing my pre-flight to engine shut-down procedures I felt totally at ease and thoroughly enjoyed my test - leaving the field with confidence, Your admin staff took over, the paper-work was completed and I received my licence today (had to have it urgently by tomorrow to collect my plane in Bloem tomorrow).
