Hi All,
I'm new to this forum.
Have my PPL(A) for around 16 years & have now been approached to do do an Instructor Rating.
Currently doing my CPL & studying the CPL Navigation Module.
Would like/accept any suggestion/s in regards to furthering my studies.
Had not really thought about being an instructor until being recently approached by a local instructor who needs anther instructor to ease the workload.
Cheers, Warren.

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like you're heading for an instructor rating to do some part-time instructing. People like you can make a great contribution to flying training because you have a genuine desire to get involved. Students can benefit greatly from working with an instructor who really wants to be there.
All the best with your training and please don't hesitate to contact us if your have any specific problems on the way.
