Don't know CFI Academy but spouse did commercial/multi (no PMEL) at American Flyers, FTW, (now located ADS) and gives very high marks for customer service and thinks most of their instructors to be good. Can't really say about all the instructors, only had one that was retired Air Force pilot, flew B-52's and was T-37 (and IIRC T-38) instructor at Vance AFB, Enid, OK, needless to say was real good.
This was quite a while back, but they had high standards then and I have no reason to think they've lowered them now.
