The Emil Buehler Aviation Institute at Broward College offers aviation training in a variety of disciplines including professional pilot, aviation maintenance, avionics, air traffic control, and aviation administration.  Training is available in short-term credentials which can be completed in 1 semester all the way up to a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Sciences.

The college offers Credit for Prior Learning for licenses, certificates, and ratings earned elsewhere.  Students who complete flight training with Phoenix East Aviation can receive up to 33 credits towards the 64-credit Associate of Science degree in Professional Pilot Technology, a savings of nearly $4,000 in tuition and fees.
