Our 2 main instructors, Dario Matrundola and Samad Kadri, are professional pilots and come with a vast amount of knowledge and experience in the Canadian aviation industry. They are also certified flight instructors, who come in with a lot of teaching expertise.
Dario and Sam have previously conducted the Dispatch Program for several airlines in Canada and York University as well. They now focus mainly on their own private course, which allows them to offer a more efficient course to all our students, in terms of time and cost.
They strive to create a friendly, comfortable environment with a great degree of student involvement. Their goal is to simplify the vast amount of knowledge for you, to successfully pass the Transport Canada exams, but more importantly, to be competent flight dispatchers at your airline!
