Diploma Program

Pacific Flying Club partnered with the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) to provide the diploma "Airlines and Flight Operations - Commercial Pilots". The program allows students to achieve Commercial Pilot Licenses, Multi-Engine ranking and Instrument Ranking as well as obtaining a college diploma. This program starts in May every year.

The program, started in 2002, recently underwent changes and updates to the syllabus. It is delivered in four academic terms in a row, with a small respite for holidays and fly times. The duration of the program has been extended to 18 months in total duration, up from the initial 16 months. This is partly for an additional break and fly, allowing for the possibility of extended weather periods being extended.

The British Columbia Institute of Technology has recently built a $ 76 million Aerospace Technology Campus to serve future demand for educational venues in a thriving industry. The campus opened in 2007, is 285,000 square feet (26,500 m ² ), including a 43,000 square foot hangar (4,000m ² ) featuring Westjet Boeing 737 -200.
