Where Charter Brokers Become Aviation Professionals
The Jet Mentis Certified Broker™ (JMCB) program is professional training and certification for aviation professionals, including current aircraft charter brokers—the professionals who represent clients and arrange air transportation through FAA-certificated Part 135 charter operators.
Enrollment is open. The program is self-paced, so you can start any time.
Jet Mentis Certified Broker™ (JMCB)
A Credential Earned, Not Purchased.
The Jet Mentis Certified Broker™ designation is not a certificate of attendance.
Candidates earn the JMCB designation through three stages:
Each of the eight module exams takes 16 of 20 to pass. The oral evaluation is what certifies: every area must be satisfactory.
And earning the designation is not the end.
The credential is valid for 24 months and is renewed with a refresh module and a short written exam.
Completion isn't the standard. Competence is.
The Jet Mentis Certified Broker™ designation signifies that you've demonstrated the professional judgment, regulatory awareness, ethical discipline, and operational respect expected of a JMCB.
You don't buy the designation. You earn it.
Eight Instructional Modules
Complete the full JMCB curriculum covering aircraft charter broker responsibility, operational control, illegal charter recognition, aircraft and crew realities, ethical quoting, client representation, operator relationships, and professional standards.
Eight Written Exams
One after each module, 20 questions each, built around realistic aircraft charter situations.
Oral Evaluation

Aircraft Charter Brokerage Is a Profession
Aircraft charter brokers occupy an important position between the traveling client and the certificated aircraft charter operator.
A professional charter broker must be able to understand a client's mission, identify appropriate aircraft and operators, evaluate charter options, communicate accurately, recognize potential concerns, and represent the client's interests throughout the charter process.
That requires more than sales ability.
It requires aviation knowledge.
The Jet Mentis Certified Broker™ program was created to provide aircraft charter brokers with the professional education and operational understanding their role demands.
Built by Operators. For Charter Brokers.
Most charter brokers work on one side of the transaction.
Jet Mentis comes from the other.
JMCB was developed from real-world Part 135 operational experience to teach charter brokers what happens behind the quote—from aircraft capability and crew requirements to regulatory compliance, operational control, trip feasibility, safety, scheduling, and execution.
Because behind every charter quote is an aircraft, a flight crew, a certificated operator, a set of regulations, and an actual aviation operation that must safely and legally accomplish the client's mission.
Professional charter brokers understand that operation.
Why JMCB Exists
There is a significant difference between being able to arrange aircraft charter and understanding how to arrange it professionally.
Aircraft charter brokers routinely make decisions that can affect aircraft selection, trip feasibility, client expectations, operator relationships, and the overall success of a charter mission.
Yet many enter the industry without formal aviation education or a working understanding of Part 135 charter operations.
JMCB was created to close that knowledge gap.
The program gives brokers a structured foundation in the operational, regulatory, and professional realities of aircraft charter—knowledge normally gained only through years of experience working inside the industry.
The JMCB Curriculum
Eight Modules. One Professional Standard.
The Jet Mentis Certified Broker™ curriculum is designed to develop the regulatory awareness, operational understanding, ethical discipline, and professional judgment expected of an aircraft charter broker.
The eight modules are completed in sequence, with each building on the knowledge and judgment developed in the one before it.
This is not sales training. It is professional aircraft charter broker education built around the realities of working with clients and FAA-certificated Part 135 charter operators.

Understand your role in the charter ecosystem, your responsibilities, and the critical distinction between influence and authority.
Module 2 — Operational Control: Clearly Explained
Learn who holds operational control, where the broker's authority ends, and how your words and actions can cross that boundary.
Module 3 — Illegal Charter: Recognition, Prevention & Exit Discipline
Recognize illegal charter red flags, properly vet potential operations, and know when—and how—to walk away.
Module 4 — Aircraft, Crews & Operational Reality
Build practical knowledge of aircraft capabilities, crew limitations, weather, airports, and the operational realities behind every charter trip.
