My son went through the school and yes it is expensive, but he absolutely loved it and everything about it. He went in not sure whether he would be an instructor and came out extremely confident. Nationwide about 20 percent pass their CFI's on the first try. All 4 members of my sons class passed it on the first go round. Its not some shyster ripoff like the other big advertisers. Its the real deal. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Shyster ripoff?? CFI/CFII for a min of 5000? No thanks. The CFI is self study. If your gona spend 5000 for a cfi then go to a place that will get you all the CFI ratings and actually give you a job. Who would actually step foot in an AF location to train? 200 dollars for a 172?
