Jet Mentis Partners opened enrollment for the Jet Mentis Charter Foundation, a self-paced professional education program for individuals entering aircraft charter brokerage. The program is not a formal certification.

Why it matters

Neither the FAA nor the Department of Transportation requires licensing, certification, or formal training for charter brokers, so most learn operational compliance on the job. The program offers a structured alternative for newcomers in the field.

The curriculum spans 14 modules covering Part 91 and Part 135 operational distinctions, broker responsibilities, and client management. Federal disclosure and refund rules for charter brokers fall under 14 CFR Part 295, while no federal licensing or training mandate applies.

Market Dynamics

Federal rules under 14 CFR Part 295 govern how charter brokers disclose terms and handle refunds, yet no federal training or certification is required to enter the field. Programs like the Jet Mentis Charter Foundation emerge to fill that gap for newcomers.

Prospective brokers weighing a career change should compare the program's cost and content against the lack of any required federal training. Because no licensing applies, the value of coursework depends on how it is used in practice.

The takeaway

Because federal rules set no training requirement for charter brokers, prospective entrants should weigh the value of any education program against their own career goals before enrolling.
