Our mission is simple - to offer the most relevant and practical aviation education and make it instantly available online. We use the best of today's web technology and combine it with the teaching skills and experience of top flight instructors and aviation professionals.

PilotWorkshops.com founder Mark Robidoux is an instrument-rated pilot and has been flying since 1996. Before starting PilotWorkshops.com, Mark spent 18 years in high-tech, working for two of the world's leading software companies. He held a variety of sales, marketing and executive management positions during his career. While studying for his instrument rating, Mark noticed there was little training available for pilots on the internet. Much of his career was spent building, selling and implementing web based programs. He was convinced there was an opportunity to combine his passion for aviation with his knowledge and experience in web technologies. In the fall of 2005, Mark left his high-tech career to create a world class pilot training website. His idea grew into the PilotWorkshops.com web site we have today.

Marilyn Jones heads up the design and production of our workshops. With 1800+ hours and Commercial, Instrument and CFI ratings, Marilyn is an avid pilot and loves flying her Cessna P210 when she isn't working magic with her computers. In 1983 Marilyn founded Micro Training Associates, Inc., one of the first e-learning companies in the nation. Since then, she has developed online learning programs for Fortune 500 companies including American Express, AT&T, Fleet Bank, the Department of Defense and Ziff Davis.

PilotWorkshops.com is located in Nashua, NH in the EastPoint Executive Center at the Nashua Airport. The location is ideal for the experts who visit to record workshops. It's also handy when we feel the need to go flying.

Here's what fellow pilots are saying..

"I have been studying the workshops on this website and I have to say they have been excellent. It is so easy to learn with this method, on the internet. I have picked up so much useful information that never was taught to me during my private training or my Instrument training."

"Looking through everything you offer at the PilotWorkshops web site, I am convinced we would have a dramatic decrease in incidents and accidents if mandatory membership was required to retain your pilot certificate."

"This is a really great program, just what every pilot has waited for. I hope I can put into practice all of the knowledge presented.
The workshops are like having you own personal tutor. I will be going back to review it many times in the future."

"I am just getting back into flying after a long while out of it. The best things I find are the practical advice and the reassurance of listening to professional and knowledgeable instructors focusing on the very important issues. This leads me to be a lot more circumspect about my attitude and approach to flying than I think I would be 'naturally'."

"I have found your tactics to be a helpful refresher for me. I am an ATP rated pilot who has been out of the game for a number of years and the course is helping me get back in the game."

"I am a new low time pilot and I believe that this style of learning once only available by hanging out at the airport talking to the 'old guys' has now been extended across our country...I really have enjoyed this website/community so far."
