The original Master Flight Instructor program began in 1997, thanks to instructors and retired school teachers Sandy and JoAnn Hill. The Master Instructor Continuing Education Program (MICEP), until recently managed as a stand-alone organization, is a family of accreditations available to qualified aviation educators based on a system of advanced professional standards and rigorous peer review. Recently, the MICEP found a new permanent home with the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators.
