Build a course the way your syllabus is already written. A flight booked in Altivy Manager creates the training record for you, and once the instructor has graded it that one record is the objective progress, the hours against expected, and the unit standard result for the regulator.
Altivy Learning is part of Altivy, not a separate login. The course, the booking, the aircraft and the logbook are the same system.
The syllabus in order, with the briefing notes, the CAA material and the knowledge check for each lesson. Progress is saved where you left it.
The booking has already made the record. Grade the objectives, enter the times, set the next lesson. The private instructor guide stays out of the student's view.
Hours flown against expected hours for every student, objective progress across the school, and who is behind on which lesson.
Unit standard results ready for NZQA, currency requirements with the people who are due, and a report for the regulator.
A course holds its lessons in order, and each lesson carries the briefing text, the documents a student needs, a video where one helps, and a knowledge check before the next lesson opens.
A student opens the course and works down the syllabus. The briefing note, the reference document and the knowledge check belong to the lesson, so there is one place to look for the current version.
Describe the course and paste the material you already hold, whether that is a regulator's syllabus, your own lesson plans or a set of notes. Altivy returns a draft course with lessons and check questions, and you edit every one of them before anybody is enrolled.
A certificate design belongs to the organisation. Attach it to a course and it is issued the moment a student finishes, with their name, the course, the date and a certificate number filled in.
An exam can be attached to a lesson as a knowledge check or stand alone as an assessment. Each carries its own pass mark, time limit and attempt count, and the questions can be drawn at random from a shared bank.
You do not start a training record by hand. When a flight is booked in Altivy Manager the record is created here for you, with the student, the instructor, the aircraft and the date already on it. The instructor opens it after the flight, grades the objectives and enters the times.
A completed lesson is matched to the aircraft's ADS-B track by registration and time. The training record then shows the route flown, the airborne and landed times, and the weather at the time of the flight, so the debrief starts from what happened rather than what was planned.
On an IFR flight the analysis picks the approach flown, or you choose it, and scores the flight against the procedure: the track, the altitude at each fix and the minima. Flight playback replays the whole flight in the tracker, inside the record.
This is a real lesson from a school using Altivy, with the student, instructor, aircraft registration and date taken out. The booking created the record and the flight was matched to it from ADS-B, so the replay, the weather along the route and each approach are on the record next to the grade.
Press play to replay the flight. Times run from take-off.

Conditions along the route at the time the aircraft passed each point.
Three approaches to Kelly Field, two of them broken off, then a low approach back at Ardmore. A practice forced landing is flown high and steep, so the Kelly Field approaches are above the 3° glidepath they are drawn against.
Each lesson in a syllabus has expected hours. The matrix puts every student against every lesson and colours the cell by how the hours flown compare, so a student taking twice the expected time on one exercise is visible before the course is finished.
Map unit standards onto the course and a standard is complete when every required objective is competent. The result is then reportable per learner, per standard and per cohort, with the credits counted.
The results are derived, not typed again. A standard is complete when every required objective is graded competent, so what leaves the system is what the training records already say.
Set what counts as done, how long it stays valid and what should happen when it lapses. Altivy then holds the list of who is current, who is due soon and who is overdue, and can warn on the people who have gone past.
Each of these opens from one index and returns you to it, so a CFI answering three questions on a Monday morning is not hunting through menus.
When an instructor writes up a lesson they can say it needs flying again, and why. Altivy keeps the answer, on the student's record and across the school, so a syllabus that is quietly costing extra flights shows up as a number.
A class is a cohort working through a set sequence of courses, often over two or three years. The list leads with what a coordinator needs at a glance: how many students, how many courses, and when it runs.
Altivy ships a library of the NZ CAA Part 61 certifications a club actually issues. An instructor picks one for a pilot, it prefills from the record, and signing it is a separate deliberate step that cannot be undone.
Stickers come from a template the organisation owns, the BFR, a type rating, night, C-Cat supervision and the rest, or are written on the spot. They are signed in the app and locked once signed.
Every pilot has a logbook of their own that only they can see. Completed training flights land in it on their own, hours flown elsewhere are added by hand or scanned in from the paper book, and every total and currency figure in Altivy is summed from it.
Monthly safety meetings and instructor standardisation sit in the same system as the training they are about, as a list or a calendar, with agendas, attendance and the actions each one raises.
The 430 trainer runs a GNS 430W with a G5, a GFC 500 autopilot and New Zealand and US navigation data and procedures, and soon anywhere in the world through a Navigraph subscription. Students practise the button pushing and the procedures at home, so the aircraft time goes on flying.
Altivy Learning is part of the wider Altivy system, so the booking, the aircraft and the flight a record came from are one click away.
Records to complete, students needing attention, the next meeting and the open actions, on the instructor's first screen.
Knowledge, technical, non-technical and attitudinal objectives, graded on the lesson record and reported per student.
What falls due and when, so a refresher can be booked before the date rather than after it.
Enrol a student directly, or let them ask and have an instructor approve it.
Five steps from the lesson details to the attachments, with the objectives graded on the way and a sticker issued on the way out.
A feedback button on every page sends the note, with a screenshot, to the people building the system.
Let one instructor write the courses without promoting everyone who holds that role, or stop one person doing something their role allows.
Records, unit standards, objectives and the hours matrix each leave as a CSV or a PDF when someone asks for one.
Who owns a course, who instructs it and who may edit it, set on the course itself.
One login across the clubs or schools a person belongs to, with the courses and records of whichever one is selected.
Tell us how many students you train and what you use today, and we will set the syllabus up in Altivy so you can see your own course rather than a sample one.
