Quantum Helicopters does not require students to enroll in a college program in order to be eligible to receive financing or to graduate from the flight training courses offered through Quantum.  Successful completion of the Professional Pilot Instrument Program fully qualifies graduates for employment in the helicopter industry. 

However, for those who do wish to earn a college degree, Quantum Helicopters has joined forces with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and the Utah Valley State College Global Aviation Degree Program to offer two and four year aviation degrees.  Flight training completed at Quantum Helicopters may be applied toward the credit requirements for graduation and may be completed before, during, or after your college courses.

Students who choose to participate in a college program may be eligible for federal assistance, student grants, and low-interest college loans.
