Check out Utah Helicopter Flight Academy to train for your private helicopter pilot license. You could also become a certified flight instructor through its training programs. Because of the connections to Utah Valley State College's global aviation degree program, you can earn a two-year associate degree or a four-year bachelors degree in aviation science, using these programs for course credits. The Utah Helicopter Flight Academy allows you to pay as you go, but you might also qualify for financial aid.
