I currently work at Bountiful, Skypark. (The Aircraft Alliance.) We used to be a pure flying club, but we also rent the aircraft just like any other FBO. We do lots of training, but the fleet can be used for whatever you want. (Legally speaking of course.) Over 20 aircraft and any type of rating. If you need the degree or financing, we do work with the UVSC and the Pilot Career foundation.
Also, as mentioned OK3 has been around for a while and has offices at SLC, Heber, Logan, and Ogden.
SLC Airport #2 has a flight school at the main FBO. (Where Millon air used to be located.) I Forget the name, but you may want to check it out.
There are also several degree/flight options available through UVSC, Salt Lake Com. College and Westminster. Though most the places listed above can be used and you can do the degree thing at home if you wish.

I would recommend USU. 80 miles from SLC but worth it.
4 year degree with flight training up to MEI and a posible Part 141 CFI job. Good people too.
Price is a half of some other schools...

Hey Scoobs,
I am a CFI at OK3 Air here in SLC. I have trained with this company now for more than a year and that helped me get my CFI. I can tell you what makes us shine, but I can't tell you what else is out there. I would recommend going to each and every flight school and touring their facilities. You will get a pretty good feel for what you can expect when you take the tour. Take your time with your decision. Where you train can mean the difference between being a good pilot or a mediocre pilot. It can also translate a huge difference in cost.
OK3 Air is a Cessna dealer. Because we sell planes most all of our planes are newer than three years old. With this you will get state of the art avionics and equipment that is always is perfect working order. We staff a full time maintenance crew that works on the planes constantly. We are located on the E. side of Salt Lake International airport, in the class B, or busy airspace. This provides you with the learning that will insure you can handle the nation's busiest airports operations and procedures. Some would argue that this is difficult for students. I trained in SW Colorado without this busy airspace. I can't tell you how much I wish I were trained from the beginning with the ability to use the radios and talk to Air Traffic Control with confidence. Believe it or not, this is a real challenge in learning to fly. Making it "just part of the routine" when you learn can facilitate great communication and listening skills for your whole piloting career.
An additional element to take extremely serious when selecting a school is WHOM you will be training with. OK3 Air mandates a very regimented CFI indoctrination training and operating standards from all their CFI's. We are all required to attend recurrent training and present topics for recurrent training. The owner of the company takes our training very seriously as we are the interface with his customer. Again, I am not comparing to other schools, I only know what we do. But, I can say, we hold ourselves to high standards. We are required to be on site 5-6 days a week for a minimum of 40 hours. We are all very enthusiastic with our careers. This will hopefully translate into a CFI that provides exciting, informative, and personalized training for all students.
Remember you favorite class in college and high school. Typically most people remember the professor, not the subject. My feeling is that our CFI's take the job serious enough to make your time worthwhile but casual enough so it doesn't feel like you have just joined boot camp.
Additionally, we have four locations in UT: Salt Lake International, Ogden, Logan and Heber. We have a huge selection of planes, including Seminoles for multi engine training.
If you want to come down and visit give us a ring and set up a meeting. I would be happy to meet with you personally. Here is the website -Chuck
