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. I nev... read more

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

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.

I was having trouble getting my CFI done at home - too many distractions and delays. I did some research on accelerated courses and landed on CFI Academy. This is cost effective training. Prince is a veteran CFI dedicated to his craft. He does a great job of not just preparing applicants to pass a check ride, but gives you the knowledge and skills to confidently step into the real world. Being a CFI is more than just being a flight instructor and I found the preparation at CFI Academy to be top notch! 

Business response:

Thanks Barry!! And you are an excellent instructor yourself.
