Gold Seal is an innovative platform that is conducive to learning. Paired with the video content, the color schemes and depictions are perfect for visual learning. There are also pdf documents coupled with each license/addon. Im in the process of asking for our school to use Gold deal as a 141 partner. I highly recommend this platform!

Thanks, Taylor! The Private through Commercial courses are Part 141 approved, with more to come! Please let us know if you need any help in your endeavor.

Rusell, your courses are great. I'm using the Rusty Pilot course, my wife is using the Private course. I haven't reviewed basic aviation essential knowledge in many years, and I'm enjoying the modules in your course. I can see why they are highly rated in the reviews. They are thorough but developed in a straight forward and understandable way. Naval Aviator 1982-1991, American Airlines B757-767 1991-2015

I just completed the FAA Private Pilot knowledge exam and scored a 97% thanks to the knowledge learned through the Gold Seal Private Pilot Ground School. Explanations were clear, and material was thoroughly covered. Of course you get out of it what you put into it, and I read all the referenced source material accompanying each lesson. The quizzes and practice exams helped solidify what I had learned, and I used flashcards daily.

Way to go, Joshua! That's an impressive score and shows you put in the hard work. Happy flying!

Amazing ground school, did IFR and Commercial, and scored 97% in both. Love the videos, explanations, and interactive exercises.

Gold Seal's ground school courses have been the best investments I've made in my flight training journey. I have used their Private, Instrument and Commercial courses, and was able to score above 90% on all three written tests. The visuals, the interactive nature, and the depth of knowledge/level of detail that Russ and the team present is second to none. When I meet someone who's interested in aviation, I always tell them to use Gold Seal--even if they already have a ground school--because it's just that good. Thanks!!

I used this to complete my CAX-ASEL written exam and still use it as a refresher for the checkride maneuvers. All the visual aids and practice exams were a huge help for the written too. In addition, I paid full price for this right before Thanksgiving and then once they held the Black Friday deal they still went back and discounted me the $99 off which was very nice of Russ and his team. I definitely recommend this ground school.

Fantastic to hear, Patrick! We wish you the best on your checkride. Make sure to review the Commercial Know-It-All sheet!
