Our on-site trainings range from 2 to 5 days depending on your needs. Smaller teams and 1-on-1 sessions can be completed in as little as two days, while full corporate or FBO crew trainings usually take the full five days. Every session is hands-on, focused on real aircraft, and customized to your experience level so you leave confident, and ready to detail aircraft the right way.
Our main in-person trainings are held in Ontario at Threshold Aviation, where we have full access to the tools, equipment, and aircraft needed for proper hands-on learning. If it’s easier for your team, we can also fly out to your airport or FBO for on-site training. Just note that on-location sessions may have some limitations depending on your facility, available space, and what equipment is on hand.
