I was looking for a multi engine add on for my commercial license. Prince and CFI Academy came highly recommended. They advertised 3-4 days training and checkride. I was done within the advertised time and budget. I loved their onsite housing as well. Felt right at home. Their on-staff FAA examiner is a real nice to work with as well.
Business response:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Alvinatorres. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. Cheers, CFI Academy
I was struggling to find a school where I could do an intensive CFI course. CFI Academy is both affordable and flexible and allowed me to work intensively on my own schedule and I successfully passed my CFI checkride. You will be expected to study on your own and I highly recommend taking both of the written exams prior to attending the course so that you can focus on learning how to teach and practicing the skills as you learn them. If you want to be spoon fed the material better... look elsewhere. Prince has been doing thi... read more
Thanks to Prince, Jake, and Jim for a successful CFI initial course beyond my expectations. A combination of classroom activity where students actually teach all elements of the PTS to each other and where you teach from the right seat starting with the first flight, you will find yourself well prepared for the Practical Test. Prince personally guides each student based on individual needs for a great learning experience. I was well prepared for my checkride. A friendly atmosphere (Bonnie brings brownies to class) where thes... read more
As I was searching for a school to do my CFI training at I came across CFI academy. After comparing rates and what some other schools had to offer I decided to go to CFI academy in Oct of 2017. My situation is a little different than most as I also have my own aircraft that I wanted to use for my CFI training. CFI Academy was the only CFI specific flight school that I called that would allow training in my own aircraft. Prince is a vary knowledgeable CFI who helped me see some concepts from a different point of view. He help... read more
The ground school for CFI preparation was superb. This isn´t a cookie cutter CFI mill. The instruction is individually tailored to each candidate in training. My knowledge vastly increased and the lead instructor prepared me to be an exceptionally knowledgeable CFI. The ground school alone is worth the price.
You will learn more than what is needed for your ratings. This makes for a more well rounded pilot/ instructor. Nice to find a school that specializes in the other part of the aviation industry (teaching). Good job.
Just did my MEI add on for CFI renewal. This school is by far (of the many I´ve seen nationwide) the best experience I´ve ever had. To be clear it is no big soul sucking 141 place - it is a quiet, cozy, well run place that will give you more value than you can imagine. Prince is a dedicated mentor, instructor, guide, and friend who will help you overcome any hurdle you may face in your CFI process.
The best flight school I´ve ever experienced. Got my commercial plus CFI, CFII and MEI done in 5 weeks flat. Very nice, clean and affordable on campus housing.
