Emerald Coast started as a Seminar based program where you would sign up for a weekend conference training event held in various cities throughout the year.

Due to public health concerns, in 2020, we have relied primarily on live online sessions that you can attend from the comfort of your own home.

While you are not in the same physical room as your coach, you still receive the same live, interactive training in these live sessions.

In time, the in-person training sessions mayreturn. We have already conducted a few in Hawaii, and our admin team is determining the route forward regarding potential future events.

Our program is designed to allow for airline specific coaching based on each individual client’s needs. The foundations we teach apply to all airlines. Your coach will plan your training based on the airline you are targeting. You will be in some classes with clients who are targeting different companies, but your training will be tailored to your needs.

We do offer some airline specific training classes. Once you have started working with your coach, you can check with them to make sure you have been through every class for your target airline.

Our Application Review gives you professional insight into how best to represent yourself, your accomplishments, and your ambitions.

Without publishing your applications, you are likely not going to be invited to an interview. For this reason, we recommend submitting your applications early and that you immediately begin your Pilot Interview Prep course.

Preparing early is the key to success.

Our program starts with a comprehensive set of online academics you can review at your leisure. The academics offer detailed strategies for understanding the components of your interview and how to structure your answers in ways that play to your strengths. The online core course is about 3.5 hours, but there are optional and archived academics you can review as your interest and schedule allow.

Next—you will attend an online webinar, where you’ll get some additional training and exposure to some live questions and answers to tie together what you’ve learned. Youmayattend as many of these as you like. Webinars typically are 4-5 hours and are offered multiple times during each week.

The next block of training are Rapid-Fires—question and answer practice is a small group setting. These sessions are designed to be a safe and supportive environment for you to get practice and learn from some of the best Human Relation coaches in the business. These sessions last 2.5 hours, and you can attend as many as you’d like. These are typically offered multiple times a dayMonday–Saturday,and are seat limited to allow each interviewee to get plenty of participation. We urge you to do as many of these as it takes to get comfortable and confident with your presentation.

CRM Training events teach you how to navigate the complicated Line Oriented Interview or Situation Based Interview events in vogue at several major airlines. Our instructors will guide you through a systematic approach to dealing with these scenarios, offering you the tools you need to successfully complete these exercises with ease. Training for these events is offered several times each week, and the events typically last 3-5 hours depending on group size. Youmayaudit as many of these as you wish, but we try to limit active participation to clients with a scheduled interview at one of the airlines using these interviews.

If we don’t think you are ready—we’ll tell you—and get you the additional training you need. You can select your Top Off by selecting which airline you are interview at and selecting from a range of times our coaches offer. We pride ourselves on a deep bench and plenty of availability—we’ll be here when you need us.
