If you're reading this, it's probably because you are in the same place I was a couple months back. Attending CFI Academy was one of the greatest moves I have ever made. Prince is one of the most challenging and knowledgeable instructors I have ever worked with. Knowing the answers isn't good enough for him. After a week, instead of answering questions, you will be teaching the answers. You can probably learn just as much anywhere else you go, but I can promise you, you won't be ready to TEACH like you would be after going t... read more

CFWhy, I hate this word, but One of requirements to receive endorsements from Prince is each student must bring one lesson from CFI pts and give lesson to other students. Every single time I provide lesson in front, Prince always told me please explain “WHY” it happens. It drove me crazy and sometimes it was really stressful. Addition to this he was really good at pretending to be student who doesn`t know anything about aviation. Whenever I didn`t make answer he asked me, there existed long awkward moment in the class.

CFI Academy delivered as expected. The casual atmosphere allows the student to learn that their own pace and learning style. The group sessions make the experience even more beneficial. While I was a CFI-AIM to begin, I was decades out of currency and needed a FAA reinstatement Check ride. Prince guided me to currency and check ride was passed on the first try. I recommend them highly. Prince's knowledge in instructing is unsurpassed and most excellent. The price is right also. If you are not succeeding at the CFI Academy, ... read more

CFI Academy is excellent school for advanced training. Fleet of aircraft are well maintained. Instructors are highly experienced. My training experience with this academy was super. 👍
Business response:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Harry. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. Cheers, CFI Academy
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.
