Yes it does. In fact, it sounds completely bad. It's a rip off. Shop around. YOU figure out what you want. YOU decide how to get there. Don't let DCA sell you something you don't really want.

If you really want your CFI ratings, I suggest finding a reputable FBO near you and working on your ratings there. Or do it at ATP. Or Skymates in Dallas. For $40K, you should be able to get ALL of your ratings starting with private. Shop around. From what I've heard (and I've heard from many) DCA is a ripoff.

If you want the names of FBOs or schools in your area to get the ratings/refresher, tell us where you live. Chances are good that somebody here has experience with the area.

If you want to make $45K+/yr as a CFI, let me know and I'll give you the names of a couple of schools that will hire you without asking you to spend a fortune on their overpriced flight training.
