I've done both my instrument and commercial ground schools through Gold Seal and generally recommend it to anyone who is looking at getting a rating. The lessons are laid out in a manner that allows you to approach them in multiple sittings, easy to come back to for reference, and cover all the topics very well. Each course also comes with a study guide to reference topics from time to time and cover topics that may have slipped over time.

I really enjoyed using Gold Seal’s Private Pilot Ground School. The instructors were clear, the animations made difficult concepts understandable and the great summaries helped pull everything together. The course was easy to use and the progress report helped me stay on track and finish before my personal deadline. I felt well prepared for my Knowledge Test and passed with an above average score! Thank you Gold Seal!

I love the in-depth review of all topics, as well as the blend of visual and interactive content. I feel over prepared for the written exam after each course I take through Gold Seal!!

the videos were easy to follow along and helped with the understanding. The wording is difficult on the practice tests and I am hoping that is how it is worded on the regular test because that caused me some delays. Some of the math would be helpful with some more physical work out problems rather than reading to resolve them. (like a classic white board tutoring session)

Thank you for the feedback, Whitney! We are purposeful in how we word the questions in our course to prepare students like yourself for the FAA exam. That is most definitely how the questions will be worded. It would be a misstep on our part to do otherwise. Good luck on your exam and thanks again!
