Six Figure CFI Training Program

Earn Six Figures as a CFI

In just 12 months as an independent CFI, I earned just over $167,000 and I want to show you how to replicate my success.

You can Earn six figures as a CFI like I did

Are you an aspiring or newly minted Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) focused on getting to the flying job of your dreams as fast, and profitably as possible?

My guess is that you’re here reading this page because you want to do the same thing as I did:

Become an airline pilot as your career 2.0 so you can love your work, get paid (really!) well, and work less than 40 hours a week, right?

If that is the case, then the Six Figure CFI Training program is for you.

Why?

Simple. Unlike most CFI’s who suffer through low pay and long hours, I proved it was possible to become a highly paid CFI with complete control over my own schedule…and best of all….

….by taking the path that I did, I was able to fly 1,200 hours in a single year so that I was able to get the airline job I dreamed of, faster than ever.

The Six Figure CFI Training program cuts through the confusion and equips you with the knowledge and strategies you need to replicate my success and ignore all the people who will tell you that it can’t be done.

7 FAA ratings in 91 days

On May 4th, 2023, I started my FAA flight training with 100 hours and a Canadian private pilot’s license that I’d earned.

Just 91 days after enrolling in flight school, I’d earned 7 FAA ratings:

Private pilot, instrument rating, commercial pilot, multi-engine rating, CFI, CFII, and MEI.

Just 10 months after that, I received a job offer to join the largest regional airline in the US as a First Officer.

Being a successful independent CFI was critical to my success.

If I had take the traditional route, I’d guess it would have taken me at least another 9-12 months to get to the 1500 hours I needed for my ATP.

Which path....flight school or independent CFI?

For most people, the shortest path to getting paid to fly (vs paying to fly) is to earn a CFI and become a flight instructor at a flight school.

Many in the industry called this the “Zero to Hero” journey.

Seems simple, right?

True….it is simple…but it also completely sucks!

When you work for a flight school, not only do you have to work for about $20/hour or so, but worse than that is that you will have zero control over your own schedule!

For example, thanks to controlling my own schedule, I organized each day exactly the same and that allowed me to work 7am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.

I almost never worked weekends, and I almost never worked evenings. The only exception was when I was training a student that needed night hours.

Now consider my buddy Chris. He was a CFI at a local school and he told me that he had to be available to fly from 7am to 9pm, 7 days a week!

That was the school’s policy.

So that meant that he’d often do a morning flight, then he’d have a gap until the next flight…and another gap until the flight after that.

You get the idea, right?

Chris’ schedule completely sucked compared to mine!

Plus, I was earning $675/day compared to Chris’ income of a paltry $200/day!

Discover how to attract students

The main reason that most of the young ‘kids’ go to work for a flight school is because they have zero business/life experience and they have no idea how to attract students.

When you enroll in my training, you will learn how to fill your pipeline with more students that you can handle.

And you don’t have to build a huge audience on social media to do it.

In my training, I’m going to show you exactly how my mentor used nothing more than $20-40/month on ads, plus word of mouth to attract enough students to completely fill his schedule.

I’m also going to show you the key ingredients to my own digital marketing, so that you can replicate what I did, if you want to.

And by the way, when I started on social media, I had ZERO followers…so don’t you dare think that you can’t do what I did.

And finally, as a graduate of this program, you will get an invite to apply to become of the the Trent-Approved CFI’s in the nationwide CFI network that I’m helping to build!

Right now, the network has a few dozen CFI’s in it and I refer a new student or two to the network almost every day, so if you were in the network today, you’d be one of the CFI’s getting student referrals from me!

Discover how to get aircraft to train In

Remember that CFI network that I just told you about?

The people who are building the network are also supplying aircraft to fly!

That’s right, as a member of the CFI network, you don’t necessarily have to find your own aircraft to train students in.

But…what if you aren’t a part of the network?

When you enroll in my Six Figure CFI training, I’m going to show you exactly what I did to find the planes I used to train my students.

And, trust me, it’s not that hard to do.

Plus, I’m also going to show you what type of insurance you need, as well as where to get it.

Stop doing a job that sucks

For a lot of people, the idea of having to suffer through 2+ years as a lowly paid CFI is the biggest reason that they don’t pursue their dream of becoming an airline pilot.

The prospect of going from earning whatever your current wage is now, all the way back down to $30,000 a year for two years is just too big of a pill to swallow.

But what if you didn’t have to do that?

What if you could earn $70-100K a year as a CFI…and what if you only needed to do it for 12-14 months instead of 2+ years?

I’ll be that would make the decision to pursue becoming an airline pilot a lot more enticing, wouldn’t it?

Dam right, it would.

Right now, you’re working a job that isn’t fulfilling and doesn’t give you the flexibility you need or the pay you want.

Your vacation time is limited. Your boss isn’t the best to work with.

You get passed over for promotion. You have to commute to an office.

You have no control over your own schedule.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Instead, you could make the decision and take the action needed to forget a different path.

A better path.

A more fun path.

A path you deserve.

Go from private pilot to highly paid CFI in as little as 5 months

So what if you are just starting out? What if you don’t even have any ratings yet…and you’re still on the fence about becoming a pro pilot?

As someone who has already purchased my Accelerated Flight Training Guide, you already know how to fast track your flight training.

Remember, I’m the guy who earned 7 ratings in 91 days…vs the usual 12+ months that most people take.

That meant that within just a handful of months, I was able to start getting paid to fly as a CFI.

You can do the same.

If you train full-time (like you’d do for any other serious profession), you can be a CFI in less than 6 months…and then not to long after that, you can start earning the level of income that I did…so long as you work as hard as I did.

And you are going to learn how to do all of that in this training program.

Be qualified to receive a job offer from a regional airline in as few as 15 months

In order to be qualified to fly for a regional airline, you have to have the correct ratings (commercial pilot, instrument rating, multi-engine rating) and, you have to have 1500 hours.

So how do you get those hours quickly?

While there are definitely a variety of flying jobs for low time pilots, they all have one thing in common, you get paid poorly, and you don’t get to fly nearly as often as a busy CFI.

In other words, if the airlines is your goal and you are in a hurry to get there, there is no faster, higher paying path than that of an independent CFI.

Period.

My results over 12 months

I’m going to be the first one to say that my results are not typical.

In fact, I’d go so far as to say that most people will not make $167,000 in a year as an independent CFI.

But so what!

Let’s face it, your goal probably isn’t to become a social media star in the aviation space, is it?

No, not likely.

Most likely, your goal is the same as mine was before I stumbled into my success on social media…and that was to become an airline pilot as quickly as possible.

If that is true for you, remember what I said above…

While there are definitely a variety of flying jobs for low time pilots, they all have one thing in common, you get paid poorly, and you don’t get to fly nearly as often as a busy CFI.

Being an professional pilot is your dream come true

Simply put, this program is my proven roadmap to success to becoming a professional pilot (you get paid to fly).

How do I know this?

I’m the #1 fastest person to go from private pilot to airline pilot… and I want to share with you exactly what you need to do to have the best possible opportunity to replicate my success.

I’m also one of the highest paid CFI’s in history. And you can be, too, if you follow my advice.

In other words, I want to arm you with all the knowledge that you will need to become a CFI and get paid to fly in the absolute shortest time possible, without compromising safety or wasting thousands of dollars along the way.

Benefits of this program

When you’re finished going through this course, you will understand:

How to build your brand so stand out vs the other CFI’s in your market
How to perform the marketing and networking activities needed to fill your schedule fast
How to diversify your income streams (if you want to)
The legal considerations of being an independent CFI
How to price your services to maximize your income

Your instructor

My name is Trent Dyrsmid, and I’m the #1 fastest person to go from private pilot to airline pilot.

Not only did I earn 7 ratings in 91 days, but over the following 12 months, I earned over $100,000 as a flight instructor, I received a job offer from the largest regional airline in the US, and I logged the 1,500 hours I needed to earn an ATP and become an airline pilot.

In other words, my story and my results are proof that if you want to become a professional pilot as badly as I did, and you are willing to work as hard as I did, you can make it happen far faster and for much less than anyone will tell you is possible.

Many years ago, a mentor of mine told me that the key to his success was to avoid re-creating the wheel.

Instead, he said to find someone who’s achieved the results you want to achieve, and then model their processes for getting there.
