The Master Instructor Continuing Education Program (MICEP) is a family of accreditations available to qualified aviation educators. The program is based on a system of advanced professional standards and rigorous peer review.

MICEP designations serve two purposes:

1.  They identify and recognize educators who have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to excellence and professional growth in, as well as service to, the aviation community; and,

2.  They establish professional standards to which all aviation educators should aspire.

MICEP designations are renewed every two years. The biennial renewal cycle promotes the continued involvement by designees in a variety of aviation activities and challenges them to remain sufficiently active as teachers as well as learners. And provided designees meet the requirements, they can apply for the one-time, honorary Master Instructor Emeritus designation as a reward for a decade or more of involvement in this program.

Applicants may apply for multiple designations by submitting separate, stand-alone applications for each designation (e.g., MCFI and MGI). The Hours claimed, however, must be unique to the particular designation being sought (e.g., the Hours claimed for an MCFI designation become ineligible for use toward an MGI designation). 

The following designations are available for all aviation educators that meet the requirements of the MICEP program:

Master Aviation Educator

Master Certificated Flight Instructor

Master Certificate Flight Instructor-Aerobatics

Master Certificated Flight Instructor-Helicopter

Master Ground Instructor

Master Instructor Emeritus
