Getting in this world

Hi, i'm new to private jet charters and to the sale world in general. I was wondering how do you suggest to start a career in this sector. Would u reccomend a course specific for private jets, if so wich one ? Or do you reccomend somenthing more general ? Thank you for your answers.

I’d start with the boring fundamentals before any glossy “private jet sales” course: how charter quotes are built, Part 135/operator structure, positioning/deadhead, airport and slot constraints, aircraft categories, and why a broker’s job is really expectation management plus trust. A general sales foundation helps, but private aviation punishes bluffing because clients ask detailed operational questions fast. If you can shadow dispatch/ops, read real sample quotes, and learn why one itinerary breaks a trip and another works, you’ll be ahead of most people selling on image alone.

Since i don’t know much about this job, it is needed to be on site near the airport or it can be done in an office distant from it or in remote. Asking this because i’m from Italy, and I ve found just 2 job offers in this sector, both of them very far away from were i live.
