I highly recommend CFI Academy, this is the way to do it if you are serious about getting your CFI ticket, come prepared with your knowledge tests out of the way and be ready to put in a lot of time into studying. I really liked the group class set up, I have made great friends and we ended up helping each other a lot. We studied, flew, biked and ate together. I stayed on campus and got the full immersion experience. My instructors were excellent and I sure appreciate all the time they put into me and made sure I was prepa... read more

I had a wonderful and memorable experience at CFI Academy. Let me tell in details. First off, I got my commercial and CFI certificates! I enrolled in the class starting on 4/4/2022, got my commercial pilot’s certificate on 4/28 and CFI certificate on 5/16. In between I went home for about 10 days due to scheduling issues. This is lightning speed considering that it took my 14 months to get my PPL and 12 months to get my IFR. I was very happy that I passed my CFI check ride in one sitting. I was a little frustrated with my ... read more

Business response:

Thanks Peter. The best part - I've got me a new flight instructor friend forever. All the best to you my friend, and I hope you get what I get out of teaching aviation. All the best. I look forward to seeing you again.

CFI Academy delivers what they advertise! I attended an accelerated school that had all the latest technology, equipment, and very nice aircraft. However, the other school couldn’t give me what I needed after one year of time, whereas, CFI Academy was monumental in providing the tools I needed to pass my Commercial and CFI practical test in just six (6) weeks! Prince is a brilliant teacher/instructor, communicator, storyteller, and excellent pilot. Fadi - you’re a phenomenal administrator. Thank you for being instrumental in... read more

I was recommended by my flight Instructor to wrap up my CFI training at CFI Academy in Lodi. It was the best decision ever. Prince is an amazing teacher. He’s very knowledgeable and knows the FAR regulations like the back of his hand. He is a true veteran in the aviation community devoting his career to teaching. His standard is the highest to teach in aviation English language. When I had my Checkride at the end of the training I was more than confident that I was prepared and ready to tackle it. Their flight instructors Ke... read more

I passed my CFII! That concludes my check rides down here in California. I figured now that I am finished I can give you an honest review of the CFI Academy. I will do my best to be as unbiased as possible. Okay so starting off with the actual school. I drove up to the school and it was difficult to spot the school because there are no signs or anything guiding you to the location. All I had was the GPS telling me where to go. Luckily, another student was already inside, so when I knocked on the door he let me in. This is ... read more

I highly recommend CFI Academy for anyone who wants to receive a quality education in their endeavor to become a flight instructor, in any capacity. I originally applied to train for and earn the CFI and CFII ratings in four weeks. After completing the first two weeks I discovered that it would be possible to obtain the MEI rating as well. I extended for a week (total of 5 weeks) and the superb professionals I had the pleasure of working with, had me ready to complete all three ratings before I left. Certainly go with an op... read more

I loved my experience at CFI academy. Prince is an insanely knowledgeable ground instructor and teaches things in the most simple but thorough way. He gets that sometimes information is grazed over in training and finds what the weak area is and instead of memorizing the content, he teaches it so you can understand it. This way you’ll really never forget it. The two week course really prepares you to become a great CFI, passing the checkride is just a bonus. For anyone interested in furthering their knowledge, I highly recom... read more
