Four steps, in the order people decide them: what the job is, whether the licence, cost and pay work for you, which of the seven courses fits, and who to ask before you pay.
A broker arranges a flight or an aircraft sale for a client, and never flies the aircraft. The company that flies holds operational control. In the US, a charter broker’s own advertising must say it is a broker, not the carrier (14 CFR 295.23).
None is fast and none is guaranteed. No course can promise a job or an income.
Read the full guides: What a private jet broker is, How to become an aircraft broker.
Next: step 2 Check licence, cost and payNo country we checked issues a licence called “aircraft broker”. Something else applies in each one, and the course fee is usually the smallest number in the first year.
No. There is no federal aircraft broker licence.
No UK or EU regulator issues a broker licence.
We found no licence named “aircraft broker” in the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Qatar.
No federal aircraft broker licence that we could find.
No licence called “aircraft broker” or “charter broker” that we could find.
We could not find an Australian broker licence.
A course certificate, IABI’s included, is a private training credential. It is not a licence anywhere.

In the United States there is no federal aircraft broker license. Charter brokers must follow the US DOT’s rules in 14 CFR Part 295, and a few states license or register aircraft dealers. Read the full answer.
No. Training builds knowledge. No course, IABI’s included, can promise a job, an interview or an income.
