Licenses & Ratings

At North Shore Aero Club, flight training isn’t just about earning a licence—it’s about joining a community with a rich legacy, fueled by passion and guided by experience. Since the 1960s, we’ve been helping people discover the thrill of aviation, guiding everyone from beginners taking their very first flight to experienced pilots ready to advance their careers.

Below, you’ll find our full range of licences and ratings, designed to help you progress at every stage of your aviation journey. Start with your Private Pilot Licence (PPL), move on to a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), gain the precision of a Multi-Engine Instrument Rating (MEIR), or train others to fly with our Instructional Technique Course (ITC) and C-Category Instructor Rating. We also offer the NZ Diploma in Aviation Levels 5 and 6 for those looking to build a professional foundation. And if you have licences obtained outside of New Zealand we can help convert it to the NZ CAA standards. No matter where you are on your path, we’re here to help you reach for the skies.
