IASCO Flight Training provides a complete range of student services. Our goal is to ensure that students are able to focus completely on their training and have a pleasant experience both in and out of school.
Students are provided housing, transportation, immigration services, health and safety services. They have many opportunities to participate in structured activities at IFT and in the community. IFT works with a local bank to manage students’ money during their stay in the US. Checking accounts and debit cards are issued and wire transfers can be handled as well.
Housing
IFT provides housing for their international students at two complexes in Redding, California. All student housing is fully furnished and includes such amenities as a desk for each student to use for studying, twin beds in each bedroom, washer and dryer in each apartment, cable television service, local phone service, and Wi-Fi. The complexes are located close to bus lines and a variety of stores.
Housing also includes bedding and linens, and a complete set of cookware, dishware, flatware, and glassware so students can prepare meals.
Immigration
IASCO Flight Training manages the immigration process for its international students.
Students are responsible for obtaining their own passports. IFT manages all processes necessary for students to obtain their M-1 Student Visas and the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) security clearances required to begin flight training.
All immigration-related student documents are safeguarded by IFT for the duration of the student’s stay at the flight school.
Health & Safety
IFT encourages students to practice a healthy lifestyle while they are in the training program. This includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, rest, social activities, and good personal hygiene habits.
IFT provides a medical insurance policy for students during the course of their training program. Students are provided more information about the insurance plan soon after their arrival at the flight school..
In the event that a student requires medical care, IFT arranges transportation to the medical services provider at a local clinic or hospital. An IFT staff member is present with the student throughout the process, as much as practicable, to provide administrative assistance and emotional support to the student.
Student Activities
To enhance the students’ cultural experience while they are in Redding, IFT regularly plans activities and events for their participation.
Students go on field trips to NBA basketball games, the annual Redding Rodeo and the Redding Airport air show event. There are chaperoned bus trips to shopping destinations outside the Redding area as well as trips to local landmarks.
IFT also holds an annual Student and Staff Picnic at a local park by the scenic Sacramento River. Students and staff enjoy games together, a great barbecue and cold sodas under the shade of the park’s many trees.
