CFI Schools...

Does anyone know of any good schools to go to in order to get a CFI and II??? I'm looking for any school in California or Nevada that can give me a good education and allow me to earn my CFI before January 10.... If anybody out there has any recommendations on good flight schools, even FBOs, please let me know. Just list 'em out. Thanks a bunch!!!

Back in the day in Cali, if you were in a big hurry, or just couldn't pass that CFI initial after 2-3 tries...the recomendation was always go see Sheble!

I'm looking strongly at Livingston Aviation in Iowa.

It's a small and personal school, the price is comperable to Sheble's.
Anyone have any first hand experiences with Livingston?

so from reading these posts... can I infer that sheble's CFI checkride is "perhaps" slightly less difficult than a CFI checkride at another flightschool?

I would say not, seeing as how Sheble's does not give the checkride. The FAA, or an FAA designee, does.

So what is Sheble's secret?

I never went there. Had a buddy go there about four years ago. He was pleased with the outcome.

There is no secret. If you go there, please let us know how it is.
