THE CFI ACADEMY DIFFERENCE
Personalized Lesson Plans and Coaching
Just as a fitness coach customizes your workout, monitors your daily progress and makes adjustments on the fly - we do the same for your CFI training.
- Learn the 'Why' Behind Everything
Other schools teach you to memorize just enough to pass your test. We teach the ‘why’ behind flight, safety, and regulations so that you retain that knowledge for life.
- Explain the 'Why'
Your training at CFI Academy is not done until you can explain the ‘why’ of flight, safety, and regulations to a 9 year old in plain simple language.
- Training at Your Own Pace
You can take the accelerated route in finish your CFI training in little as two weeks or you can take up to six weeks to go through the course at no additional cost aside from room and boarding.
- Turn Weaknesses into Strengths
Your instructor works with to you identify weaknesses from your previous pilot training and works with you to fix the knowledge gap so that you leave CFI Academy as an elite pilot and instructor.
Just did my MEI add on for CFI renewal. This school is by far (of the many I’ve seen nationwide) the best experience I’ve ever had. To be clear it is no big soul sucking 141 place – it is a quiet, cozy, well run place that will give you more value than you can imagine. Prince is a dedicated mentor, instructor, guide, and friend who will help you overcome any hurdle you may face in your CFI process.
