What You'll Master in This Course

Trusted by CFIs Who Passed Their Checkride

Hear from instructors who used the CFI Gap Course to fill the knowledge gaps their initial training left behind.

CFI Gap Course

“My CFI was a great stick-and-rudder pilot, but when it came to the FOI or endorsement logic, he just wasn't sure either. I realized mid-training that I was going to have to fill those gaps myself. This course was exactly that — it covered everything my instructor couldn't, and covered it well.”

“My instructor never walked me through endorsements in any real depth. I found out during my checkride prep that there were entire areas I had never been taught. The CFI Gap Course filled every one of those holes — it was the training my training was missing.”

“My CFI didn't know what he didn't know. This course identified every weak spot I had and gave me the language and depth to actually explain it on checkride day.”

“I didn't realize how much my instructor had glossed over until I started this course. It's the perfect complement to flight training — it covers the knowledge side your CFI probably skipped.”
