Anyone ever been to The CFI Academy in CA
 

Has anyone ever been to the CFI Academy in Sacramento, Ca for the CFI initial? Any info helps. Thanks

CFI Academy | CFI, CFII and MEI training | Flight Instructor Course | single, multi engine airplane

Don't go unless your writtens are both done and your lesson plans are at least mostly done..

And ask if they will schedule your checkride in advance. Otherwise you could be going home with just a sign off and no certificate.. They need to book your checkride in advance. Only certain flight schools know how to do this..

Thanks. My lesson plans and written exams are complete. I hear the FSDO up there can be really slow so thanks for the advice.

You're most likely going to be getting your CFI initial through one of the guys at the Sac FISDO. The SJC FISDO is a mess, Oakland is almost non existent from what I hear. Go with the someone from FAA. From the guys I've talked to the FAA examiners don't have outrageous fees.

BTW it's FSDO otherwise good inside info.

The FAA examiners - if you are talking about the actual inspectors from the FSDO - don't have any fees.
