Proctor Certification: Train the Trainer
To further expand the reach of these critical training standards, LEDA has developed a "Train the Trainer" course. This program certifies Flight Skills Proctors, empowering them to run and certify pilots at their own agencies or in their regions. LEDA Proctors are trained to set up, run, grade, and upload test results to LEDA's comprehensive Flight Skills Database, ensuring a standardized and efficient process across the board.

​ The Proctor Course is an intensive, 8-hour training offered exclusively in conjunction with our major conferences. Given the limited seating, early registration is highly recommended. A separate ticket will be available on the event's registration page and each attendee will have to ADD that ticket to their registration, along with their conference registration.

​​ Requirements for Proctors:
Must have passed Flight Skills 1 and Flight Skills 2 within the last six months (or pass them during the event).
Must successfully run both Flight Skills 1 and Flight Skills 2 at least twice for other student instructors or student pilots at the conference.
Must serve as a Flight Skills station operator for at least one hour during conference flight times.
The credential is valid for one year from the certification date and LEDA has the option to renew the credential based upon the amount of work the proctor put in that year in testing.
This program is a vital step in expanding LEDA’s reach, allowing agencies and organizations to train their pilots locally while adhering to LEDA's critical standards.
