Gold Seal is the best ground school out there. Compared to other schools, they are constantly updating and adding content. The courses are thorough and tell you everything you need to know, along with where to get supplemental information.

Originally I was intimidated by the time and cost perspective of taking ground school in person. Then I discovered that I could take it online and receive the endorsement needed for the written exam. Enter Gold Seal Ground School. This program was easy to follow. It had everything lined up for you in a sequential order, so it built new knowledge on existing topics. You could track your progress easily. The instruction was clear and concise, and the animations and videos included were great! I had one hiccup of technical difficulty, and the team responded quickly to help me resolve. When I had any questions about information I did not understand, Russell Still was quick to respond in the Facebook group to any inquiries! Incredible customer service. Overall, I received an 87% on the exam after using this product. I feel like it prepared me well, and highly recommend!

I was unable to logon. Issues are perhaps related to Gmail and their spam filters. My password resets were not arriving or if arriving (more likely) they were being filtered out and deleted completely, not available even in the email trash bin. I'm guessing it has to do with the format for the emails coming in. There may be issues with popup and ad blockers. I wanted to try this and ultimately went with a different online school. To be fair, the president of the company and one of his staff tried to reach me. and I later got an email and called them back. They earnestly wanted to help fix the problem. I have a feeling they can't because the hosting web site (this is a guess on my part) has some poorly coded software. The bottom line is I was very upset that a simple process like logging on was impossible. I was freaking out that my computer was hacked and all my logons corrupted. Being able to logon should be transparent and simple to the user. It should not involve ANY issues. It should not require backflips on the part of the user to make the connection. It should be a breeze like it is on most web sites. I gave them one star and upgraded it to three stars based on their earnest efforts to help. I still chose another company, simply because I did not want to waste my valuable time solving a problem they should have addressed on their end.

Hi Conrad, we're glad that you were able to sort out the issues with your email address and get started on your aviation training. Respectfully we would like to make it clear that the issue was with Gmail and unrelated to our website or code. Like you said, two of our executives came into the office on a Sunday to try and assist you because we take customer satisfaction very seriously. We definitely understand why this was so frustrating, but since the issue wasn’t on our end there wasn’t anything we could fix. We wish you the absolute best of luck in your aviation journey, and hope to see you in the air!
