Welcome to the Training Provider/Employer information page.
NOTE: The information on this page does not apply to
Certificated Flight Instructors (CFIs) or other Authorized Instructors. CFIs and Authorized Instructors already have authority
to conduct accredited flight activities in the WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program and also have validation privileges by
virtue of their status as a CFI or Authorized Instructor.
Training Provider
Training Providers are persons or organizations that conduct training under
the WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program and AMT Awards Program. Training
Providers may also provide on-line validation of training completed.
Training Providers may conduct FAA accepted Inspection Authorization
(IA) refresher training provided they receive additional authorization from
the FAA. If you wish to conduct IA refresher training, please
contact your
local FAASTeam Program Manager for additional information.
Training Providers are approved only after completing FAA-provided Internet training, which is offered on a scheduled basis.
To see the upcoming schedule of training opportunities, the call-in telephone number, and additional important information,
click on the Events / Seminars link in the left navigation bar and search for Training Provider
training by entering "Training Provider" (without the quotation marks) in the Keywords box.

Employer
Employers are persons or organizations that employ FAA certificated pilots,
mechanics, repairmen, or non-certificated maintenance personnel in
the performance of maintenance or inspection of US registered aircraft or
components thereof.
Employers conducting in-house training of aviation personnel may streamline
their participation in the WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program and AMT
Awards Program by registering as an "Employer". The training provided by
registered employers is eligible for award credit for both the employees and
the employer in the AMT Awards Program.

Manufacturers and Institutions of Higher Education
Aviation Industry Manufacturers, Nationally accredited Universities or Colleges,
and Vocational/Technical schools may provide training eligible for
award credit under the WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program and AMT
Awards Program without registering as a Training Provider. However, becoming
registered as a Training Provider will allow these entities to validate
the training provided to their customers and students.
