Default King-Schools Software

Hi,

King School offers money back guarantee on their softwares for the first 30 days. Anyone have experience or know about as to how good they are giving your money back?

I am about to purchase a software that costs $300. The program is new and so I don't know what to expect. I want to make sure they are good about giving your money back if not satisfied.

Is it hassle free to get your money back?

thanks!!!

Never heard of it, but their stuff is generally very good. It's a bit difficult getting past the "fro", but otherwise it's quality and good content. Better than a lot of stuff that is a half-a$ed attempt at the same.

I purchased the King Schools Instrument Course back in 07'. I would like to say that I agree with James. The fro is the only thing. Yes the fro.

Listen, if you want to be a good, safe pilot, you'll have to deal with distractions in one form or another on almost every flight. So when you receive the program, be strong. What worked for me was to periodically close my eyes and tell myself that "it's only hair", and it would really help. I know it sounds silly to talk to yourself but just take my word for it!

Hope this helps!

Martha's hair never bothered me. It was John's crazy eye that creeps me out.

They are great at customer service. I posted something on their FB page once making a comment and they had a manager call me with 24 hours to help resolve me issue. FYI always call the number they can give you a discount on all courses.

I have had students that have used both Jeppesen and King and all of them that have used both say the King Schools is more interesting. I would recommend it if you have to learn most of the material on your own.

I used them almost 30 years ago. I didn't think she was still alive let alone still making videos.
