Chief Theoretical Knowledge Instructor (CTKI) – Full-Time

Teesside International Airport (EGNV)

Applications close 30/08/2026

AeroSchool is an established UK CAA Declared Training Organisation (DTO), delivering in excess of 6,000 training flights per year across multiple bases and operating a fleet of 18 aircraft.

As part of our continued expansion into advanced and commercial training, we are seeking a full-time Chief Theoretical Knowledge Instructor (CTKI) to lead the development and delivery of ground school at Teesside.

This is a key role in shaping a modern, practical and commercially focused theoretical knowledge function within a busy and growing training organisation.

The Role

The CTKI will take responsibility for the delivery, standard, and overall performance of theoretical knowledge training across the organisation.

Responsibilities include:

Delivering ATPL theoretical knowledge instruction (classroom and/or structured delivery)
Monitoring and driving student progress and performance across all subjects
Ensuring compliance with UK Civil Aviation Authority theoretical knowledge requirements
Managing and supporting part-time TKIs and subject specialists
Maintaining oversight of training records and examination readiness
Working closely with the Head of Training / CFI to ensure effective integration of ground and flight training
Contributing to the ongoing development and refinement of course delivery

Delivery will be supported by established third-party training materials, providing a structured framework while allowing flexibility in delivery and continuous improvement.

Support Structure

The CTKI will be supported by an administrative function, enabling focus on delivery quality and student outcomes rather than routine administration.

An existing operational structure and student pipeline are already in place.

Candidate Profile

We are seeking a knowledgeable and engaging instructor capable of delivering high-quality theoretical training within a structured environment.

The ideal candidate will have:

Strong ATPL theoretical knowledge background
Experience delivering ground school (classroom or structured learning)
Good understanding of UK CAA theoretical knowledge requirements
Ability to manage and support multiple students and learning pathways
A practical, organised, and student-focused approach

Instructional or operational flying experience would be advantageous but is not essential.

What We Offer

Competitive fixed salary, commensurate with experience
A full-time role within a busy, friendly operation
Opportunity to shape and lead the ground school function
Established training demand and consistent student flow
Administrative support to enable focus on delivery and standards
A professional, commercially focused organisation
Flexibility in delivery style (classroom, structured, hybrid)

Location

Near to Teesside International Airport (EGNV)
