As the flight training environment evolves, more and more student pilots are looking for flexible ways to take their ground school. Flight schools that traditionally only offer in-house courses are missing an opportunity not only to attract students to their school but to the industry as a whole. Creating a business opportunity while opening doors for prospective pilots to earn their wings only makes sense.
All too often students walk away from flight training because they can’t fit the schedule into their life. It doesn’t need to be this way. Offer online ground school at your flight training business easily and affordably.
Lost Opportunity
I’m reminded of a story of a prospective pilot who was in her late 20s. One Saturday morning with a steaming cup of coffee she sat down at the computer and started researching everything she could about flight training. Landing on several websites from her local flight school she was deflated when she saw a ground school schedule that just wouldn’t work for her. Why? Because she is a mom. A Tuesday and Thursday class schedule perfectly overlaps the scheduled bedtime routine of her two young children. With no mention of online options, she closed the computer and walked away from her dream of becoming a pilot.
Why didn’t she call the school? Maybe they could have told her that she could in fact take ground school online, just not with them. Because this phone call never took place two things happened:
- A young woman was deprived of her lifelong dream
- A flight school lost over $15,000 in potential revenue.
There’s Got To Be a Better Way
The reality is that this scenario did not need to take place. In fact, situations like this happen all the time. We as an industry need to do better to overcome these obstacles for our students and create opportunities for success. Ok, so what can be done?
Add a link or note on your website for someone else’s online ground school.
That works great if you want to direct the student away from your school and miss out on any revenue opportunities that might exist. It also voids you from having any oversight when it comes to student progress. You can also not engage with your students as they progress through the course.
Build your own online ground school
This sounds like a great solution; it might work well for some schools. Creating a quality online ground school is more than simply uploading a PowerPoint to an online platform. To do it right takes a lot of time money and expertise in e-learning, which many schools do not have.
A solution that works
Imagine being able to provide a high-quality online ground school built by the best e-learning tools available and hosted on a modern online platform. Students can engage with the material and even reach out for quick support when required without leaving the learning platform.
Imagine a course catalog right on your website making it easy for a student to see and purchase online ground school. After purchasing the student will log into the online portal that maintains the look and feel of your website with your colors and branding.
Imagine being able to check in on your students' progress and review their understanding of the material through easy-to-access reporting.
